"The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin," which I first saw and loved on PBS back in the 70s, and just recently rediscovered on DVD. I didn't get where I am today without recognizing a brilliant, uncompromising satire on corporate idiocy when I see it.

I don't watch much of the series Eureka, but did catch last night's episode this morning on dvr. A few of the cast ended up being pulled back through time to their town's founder's day in 1947. Prior to that, during WWII Eureka was a military camp. Nice suits, dresses, hats and military wear, along with swing music and dancing at the end. I'm certain the show will be replayed again this week, if not in future months in a recap of the season.

I just watched that too, and it was so much fun. It was a great season opener. Way better than season 3. Ive watched the entire show and its just campy fun :)

The look of the episode was so cool. I liked the nurse's uniforms.

I was surprised at how many of my non-vintage buddies asked me about the episode afterwards. Even they were impressed! :)

The nurse's uniforms were lovely, too. Though I admit most of my attention was focused on the gents in suits and uniforms. All tall, cool drinks of water, they were. ;)

Poirot on Masterpiece Theater.

This past Sunday's episode, "Murder on the Orient Express," was absolutely sublime. The use of light and dark, the flashbacks in crimson, the polarity of Poirot's prayer vs. Rachett's prayer, and most importantly Suchet's portrayal of Poirot who has eschewed his principles at the very last. In my opinion, the finest Poirot so far.

I missed that Poirot. Hope it's shown again so I can record it. Caught a little bit of a PBS special on the filming of the episode.

I'm looking forward to tonight's episode of Warehouse 13. It didn't hook me until the end of last season. Tonight should have several guest stars - two folks from the cast of Firefly (Kaylee and Simon), along with one from The Dresden Files (Morgan).

I just watched the Deadliest Catch night on Discovery Channel. I hadn't watched it in the past but the episodes tonight were very good.

bunnyb.gal, if you think Morena Baccarain looks good as Anna, you should check her out in the short-lived Firefly series! She is downright jaw-dropping in that. (Firefly is well worth seeing anyway, being an uniquely intelligent and amusing Western/SF hybrid that was literally too good for TV!)

I dont know....I think she looks better as Anna, for a lot of the same reasons BunnyB.Gal described. I attribute a lot of it to her amazing pixie hair cut. Geeze, that woman's neck is 7 miles long!

Well, speaking as a guy, Inara is much higher on the va-va-voom scale than Anna. Certainly Anna has a very striking look, but Inara is stunning.

I'm not really surprised to hear that from the female viewpoint it's a bit different... Vive la differance!

A few nights ago I watched "Supersizers go... Wartime" on SBS.
It is a british show - 2 foodies explore WWII rationing for 1 week while living in a 40s house... I did learn a few things and I did laugh out loud a few times.

In the next episode they go back to the 1660s, shall be interesting.

I've watched quite a lot of the Supersizers episodes - they're really fascinating.


The last TV show I watched was Keeping Up Appearances [it was on DVD so I hope that counts].

Fine :)
I know hotness when I sees it!
I actually thought Inara (hotness aside) was the most annoying character on Firefly, and thats saying something considering how much I could not *stand* River Tam.

But I really liked Firefly, go figure.

Great.

Super.

I always lost it at the recurring meme of the Hippo any time he heard mention of his mother in law.

I think the last TV show I watched was a recent episode of The Big Bang Theory, a show I adore, not least as although not in the sciences I can identify with so much of its commentary on the higher education environment, as well as the sense of being something of a social misfit.

Watching Season 3 of Babylon 5 with the family

The last episode was "Grey 17 is Missing" (a mixed espisode, one plot was quite good and the other quite silly)

Cheers
