I've seen Lexx a few times. The disclaimer at the beginning always says "may contain nudity" but there never was. Fucking liars...

I had high hopes for Bionic Woman and Journeyman, but can't say I'll go into withdrawal without them. As long as I get my Heroes and Sarah Conner, I'll be fine.
I don't have cable, so the Stargate and BSG stuff will wait for DVD.

There is in at least the first movie. Eva Habermann has nice naughty bits. I...haven't gone through much of the rest yet.

W*A*L*T*E*R was just a pilot/movie though. It never got picked up. All of these shows were on way before my time. The only one that is readily watchable around here is M*A*S*H, anyways.

I saw the last episode of Lexx, but I had no idea what the fuck was going on. I remember a giant worm chewing on Earth, and George and Laura Bush escaping in a big ass Saturn V rocket, and some pale guy flying his ship into the worm then exploding it once he was inside, all the while he and I guess the hot sex slave singing this song, and some Buddhist Monk with a robot body, and some spider thingys.
Also I remember one summer when I used to get up early in the morning to watch Different Strokes.

perhaps i'm forgetful and should check/review Wiki on this but wasn't TJ:MD on concurrently during sometime during MASH's run? it was on Monday's i think on CBS and you sure it was the same chara from both shows? i thought TJ was a more current time line (70's/80's ear show)?

The character of Trapper John was sent home in the show's 3rd/4th season hiatus, so, no the same character wasn't on at the same time. TJ:MD was on from '79 to '86, so the shows did overlap though.

IIRC, they opened TJ:MD with him waking up from a dream of MASH Helo's coming in and that was about the only acknowledgment to MASH for the remainder of the show.

It always seems odd to me that Lexx remains mostly unknown in the US - it always seemed to be on somewhere on the UK's airwaves. Hard show to follow though. But it did push the boundaries, doing a musical ep way before Buffy (or Xena) did. A while back I nearly used the Brunnen-G chant as my ringtone. . .
Our oldest independent channel, ITV (and its digital spin-offs ITV2, 3 and 4) has decided to make up for YEARS of shite programming (highlight: outbidding the BBC and Channel 4 for Millenium, then not having anywhere in its soap- and gameshow-centric schedules to show it so putting it on in the middle of the night) by showing some decent stuff. Notably Entourage, Dexter, Reaper (or is that on Virgin? can't remember) and Pushing Daisies. I don't know how big Supernatural is in the US but it's done well on ITV. But they've also backed some DOA-from-the-USA shows - Smith, Bionic Woman, Jericho and something called Six Degrees which has just started in Dexter's slot despite being long-cancelled.
Right now, those of us who don't have Sky are just gritting our teeth waiting for when the Minions of Murdoch wield their wallets to poach Heroes from the Beeb. . .

I know that BBC America shows a lot of those shows. I personally like " You are what You Eat", and "Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares" ( the UK one, not the shit American version.) I also like "My Family". I know that my PBS station also shows some British shows, like that one comedy with Judy Dench.

Brisco County Jr. rocked. When I met Bruce Campbell (just before Spider-Man was released- the weekend of 9/11 in fact) he had all sorts of cool stories and signed his first book for me. The guy's super cool in person.
Something I'd forgotten till last week (when I bought the first Spidey movie)- Uncle Ben drives the Evil Dead car.

Ugh, "You Are What You Eat." That woman is fucking poisonous. And a total quack with zero medical qualifications, whose sole talent seems to be litigiously pursuing anyone who suggests otherwise.

I'm so used to not watching ITV that I didn't realise that they finally have some half decent programming. I remember back in the day when BBC had TNG repeats & DS9 and Channel 4 had Babylon 5 & Lexx, the best ITV could muster was SeaQuest...
I actually tried to watch Chronicles of Riddick for the first time the other week. Got about an hour in before I gave up on it, although I had been more or less lost since the first ten minutes. Did they seriously think they'd get a franchise out of that?

I think Lexx might have been on Five, because I could hardly ever get to watch it, because at the time I was living in one of the areas that couldn't pick the channel up.
