Since my last post I've watched the 4th season of The 4400 too.

Currently I've begun watching a BBC-drama from 1970 I purchased on dvd: The six wives of Henry XIII starring Keith Michel as king Henry.
It takes some time for the story to warm up, but now I'm halfway the "Anne Boylen" episode and I'm fascinated.

I'm also rewatching the second season of "Dr Quinn" on dvd.

Took a small break from horror and Halloween-related fare to re-watch some 5th and 6th season Roseanne.

I last watched "Two Down, One to Go" (an episode with some truly creepy moments in it), "The Mommy's Curse," "Party Politics," "Stash from the Past" (a couple of funny lines, but overall this episode - which has a lot of fans - really feels too much like the material in the 9th season that everyone says was so bad / weak), "Be My Baby," "Homeward Bound," and "Guilt by Imagination."

Since the the last time I posted on this thread, I've finished watching the series "The Six wifes of Henry XIII". I know that these days "The Tudors" is all the craze, but after seeing this old series I have no urge to watch that one.

I just watched an episode of "Medium" I've taped, still another one waiting to be seen.

I hope to be able to watch the double episode of "Pillars of the Earth" tonight, which I also have recorded on tape. An adventure taking place in 12th century Europe, based on a novel by ken Follet (which I didn't read, by the way - but might if the series turns out particularly exiting)

I hope more Ud'ers will post here and more frequently too. It seems to be only Lazario and me lately.

Oh, I see the subtitle now, but wait, wasn't "The Lion king" the most overrated Disney movie? :roll:

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well, the only television shows that I frequently watch are Glee, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and Parenthood. Everything else I just watch on and off.

I'm watching 'Glee' too, it's new on Dutch TV. Only problem is that it's at the same time as "Desperate Housewives" so I have to record one of them on vhs-tape.

Saw DH this afternoon, the episode in which Katherine ponders about her lesbian feelings and Preston brings a Russian bride from Europe and lots more happened, but I don't need to tell that to American fans of the series. :P

"The pillars of the earth" last night. It seemed I have missed an episode, but I'm puzzled how this can be, since I'm quite sure I watch it every week. Could it be that the ulitmate and penultimate episodes have been swapped?
This is not impossible, because it happened a few years ago with "North and South" (yes, the series about the American civil war starring Patrick Swayze): they showed the last episode of the second series before the penultimate, which was really weird.

I'm also currently watching the 4th season of 'Dexter',of which the episodes are broadcasted in quick succession (one every day). Really creepy, but I'm addicted again.

I watched a few episodes of The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh yesterday.
Disney is awesome, and was the biggest part of my childhood.

Finished season 8 of Frasier. When I started it last year, I mowed right through the first 5 seasons and stopped DEAD halfway through the first episode of season 6 because it was so desperately, indescribably awful. Maybe a month or 2 later, I slowly picked the show back up and got into watching chunks here and there. It just wasn't nearly as good a show on the whole until they decided to bring in Lana as a recurring character. Then... it actually got better than it was before. Not exactly funnier (the funniest moment in the whole show has GOT to be at the end of the episode where Daphne complains about having no privacy, I think that was season 2). Just smarter. The last 3 or so episodes of Season 8 have been just amazing. Especially the episode about Frasier helping Lana sell a house and Frasier going to Belize with Claire. I wouldn't have expected him to call Lilith in a million years (did anyone else expect it was going to be Roz until she turned on the light?). So, now that I would say the show's better than it's ever been (one footnote, however: the basketball episode this season - not the one where Niles has players rub his hair for good luck, the one where his father wants to go to a game with him and he's the audience member chosen to throw the ball - was not one I'll ever look forward to maybe re-viewing), I'm glad I didn't give up on it.
