Sen. Kyl: "No tax cuts, no START treaty"

[Don Coyote]

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the nukes

I am confused by your avatar? Is that your face? Under all the hair that is there?

It looks like the guy that played Lister in Red Dwarf.

I'm sure he's done other stuff, but that's where I know him from.

ETA: His title "The last human being" seems to go along with that theory.

None of what you are saying makes any sense to me.

I feel compelled to watch it now.

To be fair, the only other contenders for the title are Blake's 7 and Threads

Those both sound pretty good.

How could anything written by the guy who invented Daleks not be awesome?

BTW, what kind of condiment are the antagonists in Blake's 7 shaped like?

[Cain]

Packets of duck sauce.

Both are actually excellent programs, its just sci-fi in the UK tends towards the dystopian.

The prisoner! It was fan fucking tastic

Second the original Prisoner. Saw it as a young youngling, didn't get it _at all_ for a while. Weather balloons EAT people.

Ehhh when does it become such?

From all the stuff I heard about it, I started watching it from Season 1, and, well, it was sorta funny, but also often enough sort of boring and stupid that I never really got further than S02 or S03 or something.

[Bruno]

Heh, I thought the same thing after watching 10 minutes of The IT Crowd the other day.

I guess it's just a matter of personal taste.

It gets kind of depressing for a while, then it has a great episode about the gunslingers of the apocalypse. Then there is a good episode where they get Kennedy to assassinate himself.
I loved the show as a kid but as time went by it became less funny. There are a few brilliant episodes dotted throughout it but they are few and far between.

Peleus' avatar is a character from a show called Red Dwarf.

Thanks guys!

IT Crowd I got into after only a few episodes, I really watched a lot of Red Dwarf before I gave it up. There's only a few comedies that I really enjoyed straight from the beginning (How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory to name recent ones).

According to Wikipedia:

Nazarro agreed that "the first two series are very original and very funny", but went on to say that "it wasn't until series III that the show hit its stride."

FWIW, I watched a little further into The same episode of The IT crowd I was watching earlier, and it got a little better.
