17. Wonderful show

Martin Clunes isn't what one would normally think of as a romantic lead but damn if he doesn't pull it off.

18. Saw my first episode last week.

I'm looking forward to others.

The actress who played the wife of the colonel. When I see her, I'm reminded of a part she played in a Kenneth Branagh flick - A Winter's Tale. She said, "Call me Vahj."

10. Check out MI5 (AKA Spooks) BBC

7 seasons of good contemporary intrigue. It has the unique approach of killing off it's actors after a couple of seasons or so. Devastating at times, but it keeps the show fresh. And as the actors have said upon being interviewed, if you have to die in a series, MI5 is the place to do it.

And I've always loved the fact that they use Apple commuters in their high tech office.

15. That is an enjoyable spy must die sieres!

Thanks!

19. I love that one.

Episode 1 (I think it was) season 1 is the most brutal thing I have ever seen on television.

It gets better(easier to stomach) though.

But that was a major statement.

Given the show, if that is how it is--however close to reality-- though, MI5 should shoot its agents every 2 years strictly as a matter of course in the interests of the human race.

Nobody can be trusted.

(I had to redact who I was going to say could be trusted, now dead, in the interests of not being a spoiling double agent rat-bastard.)

I can't be trusted either, as I have torrented that damn thing thru season 9.

Can't wait for 10.

11. Here is one I have been enjoying as of late:

Psych: Season 1
2006TV-PG 4 discs / 15 episodes

They may look like a psychic detective agency, but don't be fooled: Motormouth Shawn (James Roday) is just a super-observant slacker, and his ultra-cool sidekick (Dulé Hill) is just Shawn's old pal Gus. But together, the funny detective duo somehow solves crimes. This quirky comedy-mystery series set in the sun-drenched streets of Santa Barbara, Calif., also stars Corbin Bernsen as Shawn's cranky cop dad and Kirsten Nelson as chief of police.

Cast:
James Roday, Corbin Bernsen, Kirsten Nelson, Maggie Lawson, Dulé Hill, Timothy Omundson

Creator:
Steve Franks

Genres:
Television, TV Dramedy, TV Mysteries, TV Comedies, TV Dramas

This show is:
Quirky, Suspenseful, Witty

Format:
DVD and streaming (HD available)

16. Those two are adorable!

I just want to bake them cookies and do their laundry they're so lovable. I love the TV tropes and the way they play with the theme song. Great show!

14. The local PBS station has been running Doc Martin.

I absolutely love it. Martin Clunes is hilarious as he underplays his role as a curmudgeon with extremely good medical instincts.
