Occupied Lands...

Tonight I ran into a former student. She and I met over 15 years ago when she was a student in high school. Then I followed her to her college, and now I finally got to see her graduate. Now she's a dentist. Successful. Happy. Still looks the same. Life is good like that.

BBC. What is the dehttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifal. You know, of course, that many of our hit shows come from across the pond. The Weakest Link. The Office. Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Cash Cab. American Idol. Intriguing, isn't it. I want to know who to blame Lost on. That show is teh crackay. Oh and Survivor is from Sweden! Go figure.

So here's on my list of must-see BBC. Screw American tele, if you will, but you've gotta check out me and Mango's list of BBC shows!

Footballers' Wives
Seriously. Who needs Desperate Housewives, when you have Footballers' Wives. Remember Dynasty and Knots Landing? Dallas? Those shows are a template for the oh-so-fabulous Footballer's wives. Sex. Murder. Lots of men's butts. Slutty fans going after famous footballers (that's soccer for you heathens). I could watch this series back to back to back. As a matter of fact, Mango and I did. It's crackish, and you won't be able to pull yourselves away from the train wreck that is...Footballers' Wives. Kisses, Tonya.

Hustle Introducing my new favorite TV guy, Adrian Lester. Wowee! I love this guy. Partially because he wears really nice suits, and if you know me, I love suits. Pinstriped suits, esp! SO you'll see Heist and Thief coming to american television, all a la mode of Hustle. You'll like this smart drama/suspense/comedy. Yes, it's Ocean's 11 in the form of a television program, but I think you'd dig it lots. Catch it on A&E.

MI-5 You'll see this in England under the tag name of "Spooks" but that's not a good word here in the Good Ol' US, but we'll just call it MI-5. Domestic terrorism is the drama here, and you'll see clever CSI-ish investigation, interview techniques, and this is one show that isn't afraid to off its most popular characters!

So those are my addictions for the time being...any shows you're hooked on?

WINNER OF THE VEGAS IS IN THE BLOG CONTEST! The winner is Pterodactyl who correctly got the most right. Will I ever say what I did? Never. The unknown value Starbizzles cards are right here, so let me know how you want it! Or I'll just buy you a coffee when we next meet up, deal?
