I used to Love "The Prisoner" with Patrick McGowan.

It was a pretty self indulgent series but I somehow think that it was necessary for the show to work. I was always a bit miffed that there was never a Danger Man link though.

But creating a spin-off based on a single character and in the shadow of such a huge hit series like BB isn't exactly the best idea. Vince Gilligan should've left BB behind to dedicate himself to new projects and ideas. Back when he was involved with The X-files, its two spin-offs failed too. Better Call Saul's ratings were great when the show premiered but they keep falling. I guess by the end of the season, its continuation won't be certain. I stopped watching this show after the third episode.

My sentiments exactly Norbert, and I commend you for making it to the third episode.

To a certain degree, I'm ashamed to admit, that I enjoyed the hell out of the new E network show The Royals which premiered on March 15th. If you aren't aware, it stars Elizabeth Hurley (that alone makes it a win win

) as a fictional (obviously) modern day Queen of England, and displays the "trials, and travails" of being rich, and famous. The poor bastards.

Queen Helena (Hurley) has two children. Prince Liam played by William Moseley, and Princess Eleanor played by the delicious Alexandra Park who does bear a bit of a resemblance to Liz when she was younger. Think of it as Melrose Place meets Buckingham Palace. Of course it's mindless, guilty pleasure drivel, but it's filled with glamorous (albeit broken), beautiful women. The Prince's girlfriend played by the ridiculously hot Merritt Patterson is another draw to the show as well. The acting doesn't suck, and it's one of those shows where you can get home from work, crack a few beers, check SportsCenter, get comfortable on the couch with the ol' lady, and give it a view. You'll enjoy the hell out of the hens, and she'll think you're a sensitive, romantic bastard, and probably blow you after watching it.

Enjoy!

Confirmed: The X-Files is set to return as a 6-episodes limited series event.

Kinda like 24 Live Another Day but with a half episodes order.

I believe Warner Bros has the rights to the series and has film version in the pipeline along with The Champions !!

I hope they get some good scriptwriters in for it. That show had some fantastic individual episodes over it's lifetime, but as a whole it was a letdown.

As they will be having Vince Gilligan along - who did work on some of the original shows and went on to do Breaking Bad / Call Saul, I think there's a fair chance of this being well worth watching.

vikings is pretty good .

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake. No seriously. It's a really witty, very clever toon.

In my opinion the Star Trek series were my all time best t.v.shows ever. I have all 5 series on DVD. I never get tired of seeing them over and over. I also like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. All together I have 29 complete t.v. shows on DVD. Not all of them are American. I have the following series made by the BBC: The complete Rumpole of the Bailey series. Cadfael, Danger UXB, Inspector Morse, and currently Game of Thrones.
