There was a 'Reeling in the '80s' DVD out for last Christmas; http://www.buy4now.ie/rte/aspx/productdetail.aspx?pid=1236&loc=P&catid=7.2

On the 'good TV' debate, both series of 'Mad Men' and 'Californication' are well worth a look, even though RTE and TV3 stick them in the late night time-slots.

CSI is the biggest load of crap on TV. Especially that Ginger knob and the wooden blondie in Miami. Half of them should have stuck to porn or whatever they did before they got a part as the simply cannot act.

TYP great call, I love the Likely Lads on Gold, the comedy is timeless plus I always sky plus Yes Minister/Yes prime Minister after it, hilarious stuff too.
I actually watch more repeats on Gold than I do of shows on for the first time!

Honourable mentions for,
Californication
Entourage - lost a bit of oomph this series so far though, just can't but the Turtle/Jamie Lyn-Sigler thing    Gary Cole (AKA Jack Kllian) is a welcome addition though
30 Rock on 3e was brilliant too but the series has finished a few weeks ago.

No mention of the Wire, great show.

The Wire is that good it got it's own thread!

[Galwaybhoy]

Why do I only seem to find rubbish such as:

Are you smarter than a 10 year old?
Don't forget the lyrics.


Do people pay to advertise during this drivel? (That's a question not a programme but you'd never know with Sky)

Get away from Sky 1 and go down through the other pages of Entertainment, there are often some really good shows on some of those channels.  For the most part Sky 1 and 2 are the worst TV channels on digital.

Yes I did Santa!  Its great, I watched it in one afternoon, brilliant if you like that kind of stuff.

[ziggysego]

I love that kind of stuff Doogie.

I love that kind of stuff Doogie.

Ziggy this DVD is for you then, its 4-5 hours of old music, news stories, sporting events.  Brilliant.

[ziggysego]

Good man. Didn't know it was on DVD until I read it here.

[Doogie Browser]

Good man. Didn't know it was on DVD until I read it here.

if I was anyway technically minded I could copy it but sorry thats just not me!  It was available for 15 quid or less AFAIK and is the kind of DVD you could watch a few times.  I think it would be good with a few mates and a feed of drink, bit of reminiscing but I am prob just an anorak

Up to date with House now, Band of Brothers currently downloading, Season 3 of Mad men back on in America on Sunday. What should next on the agenda? I'm thinking Bones or Regenesis - or any other recommendations?

Breaking Bad
