Hey everybody knows me already so I don't have to sponge off the good name JMG.
Who'd like to discuss TV with me?
I enjoy the US version of the Office.

I'd go so far as to say the US develops the best TV programming.

Channel 4 are good for sitcoms

Friz, you're in the media.
How is life treating you?
*Firm handshakes*

What do you see for the future?
(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:44, archived)
There'll be more "people centric shows"
Not chat shows.. more sketch shows/sitcoms where one person is the main character/writer (like the US used to do... Seinfeld, Rosanne, Geena Davis, etc).

Starting about March.

[Untitled Project] will be airing about November.
(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:46, archived)
That's quite precise.
Are you on the inside track with this?

It's like Screenwipe, but with music

(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:49, archived)
This sounds like good tv.

(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:52, archived)
I need to think of four more "I Love [Band Name]" ideas
Name a band whose music all sound the same.

Preferably a recent band
(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:53, archived)
Keane, The Killers, Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, The Fray, Green Day, The Zutons, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand.

I say more Friz based TV columns in the press.

(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:48, archived)
I'd love at least one

(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:49, archived)
the wire probably being the best

(rigby happened on (and with added toothache), Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:43, archived)
I find it useful from time to time.
When wanting to view programs and that.
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:43, archived)
Actually I'm looking forward to the V remake.

(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:45, archived)
As a big fan of Arrested Development, I will agree with you on that.

(I helped save b3ta! JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:43, archived)
Is the movie this year or next year?

(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:44, archived)
Probably next year.
There were rumours that Michael Cera didn't want to sign up for it, but I think it was pure speculation.

I don't wish you were dead by the way. It was just a bit of crowd-following from last night.

Peopled wished I was dead?

Terrible business.
Users were stepped.
(I helped save b3ta! JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:50, archived)
Woah
I didn't realise I was that important here
(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:51, archived)
Apparently so.
It was a bit strange, though I only caught the tail end.
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:50, archived)
Probably best I've been away today then
Been performing at Brinkburn Priory. Bloody awesome it was

Oh is that what you were talking about.
Is this weekend off?
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:54, archived)
It is - heading off back to Lincolnshire

Boo rubbesh
I was hoping to wish you good health.
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 1:04, archived)
I'll be back next week. We'll have a couple at The Goose

(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 1:05, archived)
Or tomorrow, if you're free

(__, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 1:05, archived)
I'm working late and skint.

I've been meaning to watch Lie to Me.
I think Tim Roth looks like a psychopath, though.
(I helped save b3ta! The Gentleman Bastard waxing lyrical. ©, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:43, archived)
I keep meaning to watch that
not got round to it. Fella off 40 year old virgin isn't it?

I enjoyed Charlie Brookers latest show but I find him funny anyway.
(I helped save b3ta! broadsword, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:44, archived)
Yes.
But "Brick, from Anchorman" is the best way to address the man.
(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:46, archived)
Was Brookers new show last night?
I missed it :(
(I helped save b3ta! JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:47, archived)
Yes, it was rather amusing.
I'll be watching next week.
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:49, archived)

Here you go
(I helped save b3ta! broadsword, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:49, archived)
Cheers, though I have to get on a decent computer before I can watch it.

(I helped save b3ta! JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:51, archived)
It's on 40D Streamy Catch Up Thing

Steve Carell

(King Baby Duck more than a ceiling, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:50, archived)
Steve Carell is Charlie Brooker?
I'm so out of touch
(I helped save b3ta! broadsword, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:52, archived)
Yes! The US Office is the better version.

(I helped save b3ta! Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:45, archived)
I'm glad we're in cahoots on this.

(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:46, archived)
if you like telegraphed humour you can see coming for miles, and none of the pathos, than it's better

(I helped save b3ta! cumquat may will not be commenting further on the allegations, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:52, archived)
The US is great for dramas. Mad Men being my favourite ever.

denmark and norway have porn on free to air that comes on at midnight
beat that, america
(I helped save b3ta! cumquat may will not be commenting further on the allegations, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 0:46, archived)
Every season the US throws up a few gems
Favourite out of new stuff I've seen so far is Hung.

Worst by miles is Virtuality (steaming heap of shit). The Cleveland Show was dire.

Warehouse 13 looks promising though.

Edit: No, it's shite
