Mana Mamau (NZ style pro-wrestling) on Maori TV now.

Brilliant.

End of Entourage, and I thought it really went out with a whimper.  In fact, the whole last season was pretty weak.  Don't want to say too much about the final episode as not sure if it has been on in NZ so don't want to *spoiler* ruin it for anyone.
Extremely forced and ridiculously quickly resolved story-lines. What did you think about the clip, post credits?

I didn't stay around that long.  Have it on my Sky+ so will check it out tonight.
 
I am currently re-watching the first series of 30 Rock - utterly, utterly brilliant.  One of my favourite quotes:
 
Liz:  What made you think I was a lesbian?
Jack: The way you dress.
Liz: Well I'm straight
Jack: Those shoes are little bi-curious
 
Possibly slightly wrong, but you get the point

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

30 Rock is good, have never really followed it ep by ep. Have watched other shows like that too, 'Always Sunny in Philadelphia' 'Curb your Enthusiasm' 'Arrested Development'.

Watch first two seasons of 'Community', awesome series. Also finished first season of 'Game of Thrones', set up for an amazing second season, still go a while to wait though

Has anybody else seen 'Sherlock', the BBC version with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman? I just finished the first series, absolutely brilliant television and I would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys the series. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss did a great job modernising the series.

NTNON - had been thinking about this clip for a while and found it thanks to C-diddy and his housework fetish.

I never get bored of Mythbusters, they always seem to enjoy themselves so much and that always comes across. Great TV

Hmmm.  Should I be letting him watch the show?  Actually more to the point, when is this episode on so that I can see it?

As far as newer shows on in the States goes, 'Homeland' and Terra Nova' are quality for me, but especially Homeland. There are a few others that are decent such as 'Pan Am' and 'Revenge' but I suspect they won't be everybody's cup of tea.

Sharpe was on Prime earlier this week (after Sea Patrol). Episode 2 so possibly a re-run of the whole lot.

Hope the programme about the zombies comes back now that eggball cup has finished.

if by Zombie progamme you mean The Walking Dead - it was a small first season and they already showed it all. The 2nd season has just shown in the states and i think they have already said there will be a third. The 2nd season has been hijacked by Sky's new Soho channel so we will have to pay to see it along with other quality series like Treme and Game of Thrones... tho that last one I must admit everyone I know including myself has already viewed it cause we all got sick of waiting

Myth Blasters
Meet the Honewiras
Fair Enough (the Fonterra one is the best)
Nandos Advertorials

I got this link from the latest Net Guide. Back when wrestling was more action than all talk. Some big names from the past in this one too. Obviously guys over 40 will remember this. A look at New Zealand's past.

Just saw about 20 mins of "IPW" on Maori TV. Sort of somewhere in between On The Mat and WWF.

Quite amusing.


Watching it again now. It is called "Mana Mamau" on Maori TV.

It is very, very, amusing. So much in "On The Mat" mould, but with bilingual commentary.

Also there are these wee slips of girl "wrestlers" - the BFF (Evie and Brittany) who are pleasing on the eye. Just need some Lucha Libres and it would be South Pacific WWF.

I am watching a bit of Saturday Night Live at the moment, but american shows New Girl (with Zooey.......I'm not even going to try to spell that) and Up all night (with Christina Applegate, Will Arnott and Miya Rudolf) are both pretty good*

Worth watching if only for the scenes with Lt Boomer (Grace Park).
 
The recently finished series Falling Skies has been good too.

I always felt K9 was a bit of  a c*nt, and like the sonic-screwdriver gets the Doctor out of to many scrapes to easily.

K9 was a know-it-all robot dog, but certainly no c*nt.

Plus we all know that dogs are chick-magnets and Leela just adored him so he was one lucky dawg.
