Family Guy is on FX and BBC3; Mythbusters, American Chopper / Hotrod are on Discovery.
There are only two Sky shows I ever watch - Road Wars and Street Wars.

I meant Sky as in on a Sky box, not the Sky channels...

Funnily enough, I'm watching Miami Ink just now. Chris Nunez is tattooing a blond chick's ass. The lucky sod.
For those of you who watch it, who would you choose to do a tattoo on you?
I'd go for Chris Garver, particularly if script was inclucded - his lettering is 'awesome, dude'.

Road Wars
Everybody Hates Chris
Everybody Loves Raymond
Frasier
King of Queens
The last four are daily staples of Paramount Comedy and something of a morning ritual, whilst Road Wars is always on when I finish work.

Garver, too. He's the oldest, wisest and most chilled out of all of them. Or the new guy, Tim.

Garver here too. A colleague has just gone on his hols to Florida and he tried to get a booking with them but they only take bookings from US residents and he didn't want to drive there on the off chance.
Yoji is a definate no no.
Had my first tattoo done a few months ago, I can't wait to get the second done, will probably get it done after the wedding.

Anyone watch Breaking Bad on FX last night?
Brilliant. I even recognised a lot of the compounds he was using from the stuff we have in the wet lab at work.
Crystal meth, anyone?

Me and Tina were well up for that and completely forgot about it, even when Tina said "no Dexter toniight, what shall we do?!"

To my shame I have the first two series of The Wire on DVD and have never got around to them. I'm going to make an attempt at watching it on BBC2 from tonight.
I fear a 'best laid plans' scenario...

I thought the first series was such a complete story that they probably should have left it at that but that never happens with a succesful series. Series two was better than most other things on tv but no where near as good. I'm looking forward to series three (april 24th FX) with trepidation. Doakes was a major character with an important role. I also fear it might get silly. I read the book Darkly Dreaming Dexter which the first series was based on, unusually the TV show was far superior to the book! |

I'm fascinated that the latest series of Road Wars is set in and around Plymouth and South Devon.
Better make sure I don't end up on it!

I noticed that, too. Slipped back onto my screens without any fanfare.
Love the unmarked Focus STs, especially the dark silver 5 door. Stealth.

Only series 5 to go for me - time to look at Amazon... |

I'd say the first book is about as good as the first series, the second and third of the Dexter books are way better than the TV show and go off in a totally different and much darker but also funnier direction that no TV show could ever do. What happens with Doakes and also the kids, Cody and Astor, in the later books is brilliant.
The fourth book (Dexter By Design) is good too but Dexter in the Dark and Dearly Devoted Dexter are way better than what the TV series has been. Much as I like the TV series (I own both on DVD) it is much more of a standard cop show than the books.

It's a bit tame compared with previous years but still worth a watch. Did you see the first episode with the Astra on it's roof and the driver refusing to get out. |

No. So far I've only caught the one episode. Still, given the amount of times I've watched repeats across all three Sky channels I'm sure I'll see them sometime.

Heh. On tonight's episode where they stopped the dopey janner in his blue 106 is where I park my car when visiting my mate's flat. I've always got a buzz from seeing areas I know on TV LOL.
