I hear Parks and Recreation is actually very funny. I’ve never seen it, but I do know Rob Lowe is in it. It’s back on January 20th. Rob Lowe didn’t know that and his NSFW response to the news is actually very funny.
Sitting Tennant
Sitting Tennant (week 2, 2011)
Blimey. Week two already. Look at that would you. So sudden thought – we’re getting quite a lot of Sitting Tennants in the pile now, enough that Friday’s Sitting Tennant might make a comeback soon. But should we reward quantity or quality? Basically, if we stick with 10 points for a Tuesday Tennant, should we reward a Friday Tennant with 5 points or none? Does the current scoring system favour those who can find lots of pictures over those who can find just one or two really good ones? Or will that unfairly discriminate against those who find lots of good Tennants? What do you think?
Either way, today’s excellent Sitting Tennant was provided by new arrival Janice – everyone thank her!
- Rullsenberg, Hebbie, Janice: 10
Over in the first week of captions, it’s SK who gets the first 10 points of the year. Congratulations! Good luck this week, everyone, and thanks for taking part!
- SK: 10
- Virpl, Marie, Rullsenberg, Joe B, Electric Dragon, theriverlady: 5
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.
The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points.
You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on the photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.

Let’s go a little bit different today and review a couple of books from Cambridge publishing company Classic TV Press (hopefully no relation to Cambridge’s Classic TV magazine, which folded before its first issue) that have been written by a couple of bloggers. As a bit of a contrast, one is on Doctor Who, the other is on Being Human, and one is really very good and one is really very bad. Take your bets on which is which before the jump.

What have you been watching this week (w/e January 14)?
As you may have guessed by my infrequent posting last week, I was working my backside off so didn’t have time on Friday for "What have you been watching this week?" (aka "Your chance to recommend to friends and fellow blog readers the TV that they might be missing or should avoid – and for me to do mini-reviews of everything I’ve watched this week. Since we live in the fabulous world of Internet catch-up services like the iPlayer and Hulu, why not tell your fellow readers what you’ve seen so they can see the good stuff they might have missed?")
Sorry! But it’s here now.
So, after the jump, Cougar Town, Episodes, Kidnap and Ransom, Michel Roux’s Service, Modern Family, Shameless (US) and Southland. I’ll probably do proper reviews of Lights Out and Off the Map when I’ve caught up with them and I’ve already talked about The Cape. Oh, and we tried watching a bit of Wild at Heart on ITV but it was awful. Not making that mistake again.
