I was so pissed when Danny got killed off. 🙁

I have only seen two episodes of that. It was good but they used to move it around in the schedule alot so I could never get hooked on it.

if they do a DVD series i will check it from the library...

I really love Farscape... has anyone seen that?

Oh yeah! The Office (US Version) is fantabulous. I like the episode with the basketball game. :p
Also, I wathced Farscape a lot and then kind of got lost in the second or third season. I did like the series finale though. That was great. Henson puppets are always creative and cool.

I always felt sorry for Ian Beale... he was such a clueless jerk...
he married Melanie after she left Steve Owen and then cheated on Ian with Phil... or was it the other way around and so on and so on.... wheww!

I can't believe Sonia is still on the show!!!!

Try this Nessie!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/broadband/mediawrapper/consoles/eastenders?redirect=console.shtml&nbram=1&bbram=1

The Salt Lake Library has all 4 seasons of Farscape on DVD. I am on Season 4 now!

Highly recommended.

I hated Ian Beale. He was so mean to Laura and then she somehow decided she loved him anyway. I was like, WTF?

I thought Melanie and Steve totally belonged together. Too bad Steve got blown up or whatever.

Sonia married Martin, didn't she?

I believe they glued Steve back together! cos he made a short-lived comeback...
It is a tangled web over on the Beeb website.

Do you remember dirty Dan Sullivan? I actually met him at a pub in Nottingham.

In person, he was not very bright but could knock back the pints... :D

I'm a HUGH Office fan - the original BBC version. I tried watching a few minutes of the US version and it was painful to watch. Maybe I need to try it again.

Walford was not an ideal place but hey it was never dull!
I do miss all the shenanigans over in Albert Square...

I used to watch it. The Peacekeeper Wars mini-series was good too.
Ben Bowder (who played main character John Chriton) is now on StarGate SG-1.

I loved the British version of The Office. Ricky Gervais (sp?) is the man.

However, I also like the American version but the characters don't hold the same weight over here. The Boss in the American version doesn't carry the show like the British version. They have also added a couple of extra episodes that weren't on the original that were great, Diversity Day and the Basketball game.

I just started weatching Green Wing on BBC America on Thursdays. It's the Brittish Scrubs I guess or is SCrubs another knock-off of a British show? I like them both.

Oh, and Malcolm in the middle rocks, they just need to put it in a better time slot.
