    I didnt use it to back up my thoughts at all. Why are you so fixated on that? Unlike other mongooses, I dont need others to think for me.

    Please actually bother reading before commenting.

    All I used it for is cited evidence of the ending of the show, making my point accurate.

    One of the most fundamental aspects in any prose is that it is convincing, or at least logical enough so the viewer can follow it.

    Television is supposed to be entertaining. It is less entertaining if it is not original.

          I could say the same thing about a few on here ....

          I think it is dick-ish not to read others posts before posting and invent scenarios in ones head or to argue a point and just say in a more elaborate way a point they originally summed up in one concise general statement.

              Personally I prefer to try some of these than watch any of the soaps or celebrity/reality crap that infests UK TV.

              Seems a lot recommend "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" (also scores a 9.2 on IMDB) yet I'd never heard of it until reading that article, despite it being out since 2005.
              Thanks to the good old internet I'll give it a try later.
              cheers sport for bringing this to my attention, i've just downloaded the walking dead seasons 1 and 2 so will give that a crack.
              the last time i watched tv shows was about 5 years ago when i used to watch lost up to the end of the 3rd season then gave up on it due to it becoming rather absurd and silly.

                Still have all the episodes on tape somewhere or other, just in case I ever feel the need to watch it.

                Saying that, I recorded "Taken" way back when & still haven't watched it.
                that looks ok, why did you stop watching it?
                it's downloading right now :-)

                    This years was quite novel actually. Worth a watch as you don't often see that much visual inventiveness on TV
