Check out Regular Show if you're into cartoons that are for kids but aren't really for kids. Not as intense as R&M.

I happened upon a series (in torrent world)  called Bosch, after old friend Harry Bosch. I wasn't aware that such a series existed about Harry Bosch. I don't know who made it or where honest folk can view it, but it's available 'out there'.
So far, a few episodes  into series 1, it's excellent, different from the books as it would have to be, but at the same time time it's Bosch, obsessive procedural Bosch, 'everyone matters or no one matters'.

Keep meaning to watch it. Love the books and I didn't think any tv show would do it justice but will give this a go.

Very good show. It took me a while to warm to it as I had a different image of Bosch in my head from the books, but it's excellent if you like the books.

It is particularly well cast especially Titus Welliver in the title role.

I had an image of Harry's house, something on stilts with a veranda but nothing as fancy as the dramatised glass palace architecture creation.
I saw in the credits that Michael Connolly is involved with the production and the script. This is where life imitates art as Harry's house on stilts was built with the funds Harry received from working as technical advisor on a tv drama based on one of his cases.
The first season of Bosch delves straight into City of Bones. If it follows, one season to unravel a Harry Bosch case,  we could be looking at a multi season Bosch drama fest.

I have often followed Harry's movements on Woodrow Wilson Drive and over Mulholland etc. on Google Maps so I have a fair idea of what his house should look like. Yes, I am a sad bastid  ;D

Norway's state tv station has opened much of its music archives since years.
On it is a treasure trove of high quality video recordings of live concerts, from the international summer festivals  eg Kalvoya Festival, tv studio concerts and random music events around Norway.
I came across a (previously unseen by me) 38min long live concert of The Dubliners from the summer of 1980 in a place called Harstad, which is about as remote as Craggy Island. The concert is relaxed and is simply a visual and audio feast..

I'm a very late comer to Breaking Bad. Not long into Season 3. Do I watch them all to very end first, or does Better Call Saul start before the final series of BB ends?

BCS is Saul's life (as Jimmy McGill, his real name) before BB starts. It's not necessary to watch BB to understand and fully appreciate BCS in its own right and the storylines don't interlink at all, so far. Inevitably, familiarity with Saul in BB enriches the BCS experience but it's not in any way necessary to see all of BB before watching BCS. Mike from BB is also a leading character in BCS and we're told Gus Fring makes his appearance this series.
