[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

The new DW ROCKS. Justified seems to have enough Elmore Leonard in it to make it entertaining.

SWAT meets Mission Impossible on CBS. I don't go out of my way to watch it, but I'm happy if I'm watching TV and it comes on. It's a good after-practice, after-shower, after-dinner show.

I'll give it a real look. I've tripped over it a couple of times and it was always the wives complaining about their men-folk.

...it's sort of like bringing kids was on the Enterprise in TNG, but very 2010. The affair is interesting as it might explode into a great fight in some future episode.

Better be coming to BBC America!

Dirk Gently coming to BBC:

Watched this the other night. The guy that plays Dirk tries to spin it a little too 'Dr. Who' meets 'The Big Lebowski'. It was OK but was missing that Douglas Adams snarky tone. It could be that this series is much more UK-centric and I wasn't getting the in-jokes about British society.

The Dude Abides
PBS is airing a documentary about Jeff Bridges tonight called Jeff Bridges: The Dude Abides. In a short clip from the episode, Bridges visits a The Big Lebowski memorabilia store called The Little Lebowski. Watch the cashier's mind explode as he recognizes who just walked into his store.

A vote in favor of the new BBC modernized Sherlock Holmes. From Moffatt of the new Dr. Who.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

I concur. I think I concurred first. Good thing they didn't inundate us with episodes.

[thatguy]

Still in my queue...maybe they won't inundate, but more episodes are coming:

Series 2 (2011)
The BBC has confirmed that a second series of three 90-minute episodes will air in Autumn 2011.
Detailed information about the new episodes is not publicly available, but Steven Moffat told The Guardian, "You can have three words to work from: Adler, Hound, Reichenbach. Those are your clues." Mark Gatiss confirmed on Twitter that filming for the second series would begin in May.

Late to the table, but I just watched the first two Sherlock episodes. Enjoyed them very much, although it is very Dr. Who-ish (probably why I enjoyed them...).

Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen it yet:
