Crikey, as I always say, shortly after posting an image that was considered high resolution in 2005. How did that happen? Time has flown again, since The Medium Is Not Enough emerged blinking into the world a stupefying 14 years ago, primed to make sarcastic comments about UK and foreign TV, mainly from the US, mainly in languages I can speak, with reviews of Prison Break, Supernatural, and Global Frequency.
Bye bye, Diana
This year in review
This year, we’ve had to wave goodbye to Weekly Wonder Woman, on the general grounds that DC doesn’t really seem to like her any more and the comics are all rubbish now. Sigh.
However, we’ve also welcomed Orange Wednesdays/Thursdays for movie reviews – no trademark infringement lawsuits yet, thankfully – and added in coverage of Royal Television Society events. TMINE’s also got itself an Italian TV category, seeing as some of it’s actually quite watchable now.
Thank you!
As always, a great big thank you to all the regular TMINE commenters: Mark Carroll, JustStark, bob, Craig Grannell, idleworm, Adam Bowie and MasterWitcher088. Bless your hearts!
Thank yous as well to the commenters on the TMINE Facebook page, particularly Rob Kerr, Lee Carter, Craig Grannell, Mark Clapham, Dave Beattie, George Parkes, Jane Parkes, Jason DC Williams, Toby O’Brien and Paul Tricker.
But thank yous to anyone who’s left even one comment this year, either here or on Facebook – it’s been great to hear from you!
Same time next year everyone? I say that every year, don’t I? Anyway, there’ll be cake, albeit the same photo of a cake as last year, so bring your friends.
Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK
Look at me, coming up with a punchy new title for this feature after only a mere two and a half years of running it. How genius am I? That’s almost better than my plan for carrying hot drinks around in a basket that I implemented this morning.
It’s all premiere dates this week, so let’s get right down to it.
It’s Thursday, so that must mean it’s movie time. Despite the BFI channel on Amazon not offering downloads as previously advertised, I’ve still managed to watch Tokyo Story, which The Guardian describes as the fourth-best arthouse movies ever made.
And coincidentally, I’ve made it out the house to the cinema again to watch the fourth movie in the Men In Black franchise – Men In Black: International. Is it the fourth-best Men In Black movie ever made?
