Look, if ABC plug the Kumars once more I'm gonna lose it. Every night on ABC they have at least a dozen ads for it. I've tried this show a few times, and just don't get it. The celebs are mostly dry boring British gits who I could care less about, and can rarely name most of them anyway. The comedy is mildly clever, but overly forced, I just can't see why this show is so popular. Sure, it was interesting when it first started as the format was quite different, but now, well.. we're over it. Move on ABC.Was that the last epsiode of The Office? Damn, no more Finchey.
The What If Man looks worthwhile:
"Friday May 2 at 8.30pm, The Science Fictional Life of Peter Nicholls. This profile reveals his life-long passion for and insight into the world of science fiction as well as his foibles and his eccentricities. Peter Nicholls is an unconventional man who has led an extraordinary and unique life. Unique because this Australian has been hailed as the world's foremost authority (as an anthologist, reviewer, author, filmmaker, collector and public speaker) on science fiction. Unique because he draws parallels between science fiction and the "real world". Unique because he has recently been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses that lead him to reflect on his mortality and that of science fiction. Peter questions whether it has run its course .. or can it reinvent itself? Peter reveals the profound impact this genre has had on the world we live in: future science, social utopias, technological change and alternative realities. It celebrates science fiction's sense of wonder and explores Peter's fascination with the possibilities that lay ahead - what if?"
