Shark Tank


I love "what would you do"! I find myself getting sucked into "the doctors" as well

You'd fit right in, in our house. I live for Monday night at 8pm. I also like Unreported World, anything with Prof Brian Cox and I'm enjoying some of the episodes of Imagine with Alan Yentob, just now.

Yes BBC has some good stuff

you said it.
Even though I've got to watch hacked-up versions on youtube, it is still by far the best television out there.

Programs are up as long as they aren't available on DVD, and you aren't allowed to just leech or you'll be banned. I've no idea if they're accepting new accounts at the moment though.

It's shark week or "let's piss off some great whites and see what happens."

I watch the Science Channel some. The one program where they show you how things are made is strangely hypnotic. Bug Wars is fun though I can't help but believe they set up these MMA fights to the death for our viewing pleasure, and some of the 'you're just a little speck in the universe programming'. I watch the History Channel's International version since the regular one has gone completely apeshite into reality programming. I saw a good Einstein biography not too long ago. Some of the Military channel stuff where they go over famous battles from WWII are really cool.

I get withdrawal symptoms when University Challenge is off-air.

It's interesting to see which Only Connect team members pop up/have already popped up in everything from Who Wants to Be A Millionaire to Mastermind.
