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!

Promo for ABC’s Flash Forward

ABC’s big new show for the Fall is Flash Forward, in which everybody in the world blacks out for two minutes and 17 seconds and has visions of what their life will be like in six months’ time. Hmm.

It stars so many Brits it’s daft (Joseph Fiennes, Sonya Walger, Jack Davenport) as well as the likes of John Cho and Courtney B Vance, though, so maybe it’ll be worth a look in. It’s also written by David Goyer (The Dark Knight) and Brannon Braga (almost every bad Star Trek episode ever written, and all the ones about time travel) so again, a difficult choice.

Here’s the promo.
