What have you been watching this week (w/e 15 May)?

So what have you been watching on the gogglebox this week? Anything new? Anything good? Anything that sucked big time? Let everyone know so they can iPlayer/Hulu accordingly.

I’ve already covered quite a few of the finales this week already, so I won’t regurgitate them. But

  • We caught up with My Name is Earl this week and wished we hadn’t – dull
  • I tried the Fringe finale, purely to have a gander at Leonard Nimoy: nice final image and the revelation about Peter was impressive, but it still doesn’t look like I’ve been missing that much since I gave up circa episode seven
  • The Daily Show‘s been meandering a little bit
  • Prison Break continues to be as daft as a brush but considerably less entertaining
  • Scrubs had a great finale (nice to see all those cameos, especially Amy Smart) which is likely to be ruined if ABC brings the show back; we were giggling like idiots at the JD/Elliott “Oh God, they’re us” moments
  • CSI: Miami is trying to behave like a proper drama series for some reason, but since it left our galaxy years ago in terms of plausibility, it’s a strange beast to behold right now.
  • Is it possible that Mona from The Apprentice is in fact the least comfortable person in the whole world when dealing with LesBiGay issues?
  • There is a neverending supply of Grand Designs and Come Dine With Me episodes on More4. Our Sky+ box is almost full of them. How is this possible?

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