What have you been watching this week (w/e 24th April)?

24 April 2009 Rob Buckley UK TV, US TV 7 Comments

Time, once again, to let the rest of the world know what you’d (un)recommend from the tele this week.

I didn’t bother with Ashes to Ashes series two, which started this week, and at some point I’m going to have to play catch-up on The Unusuals, Southland, Sit Down Shut Up and Parks and Recreation – should I bother, guys?

I did love CSI and its fake Star Trek/BSG last week (which I only got round to watching yesterday) – nice cameo from Ronald D Moore, too, and the episode was quite poignant in its own geeky way.

BTW lovely wife, after giving up on Heroes during volume three on grounds of its general painfulness to watch, is playing catch-up and finding volume four to be “okay to good”, although the dullness of Building 26 sapped the joy out of things a little for her – I blame Mohinder and Matt. So it’s not just me who thinks everyone should be watching it, just in case you were wondering.

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please? Ta!
