What are you watching on TV? Page 877

Nothing...cable's out. We had a tornado touch down near where I live (in upstate New York, an area not known for tornadoes) and we have no TV. My 3 year old is going to be devastated that he can't get his Sesame Street fix.

Damn. Can you watch shows online?

:) Yes we can, thank God. We also have a massive DVD library, so I'm keeping the kiddos entertained with the cartoon Chowder and Play Doh. If the weather wasn't so bad, and my neighbours weren't psychos, we'd go out. But these are the shabby cards we have been dealt for now. :(

Wish I has some Play Doh right now Pleased

We buy it by the case. My kids play with it in their play kitchen. As I type, my daughter has brought me hot pink Play Doh cookies, mmmm.

:D

I'm watching Mantracker.
A team has to try to reach a certain destination without being caught by this crazy awesome guy with 25 years in search and rescue with the Alberta Foothills Search and Rescue Team. Check it out

Just a couple of recommendations for your viewing pleasure tonight...

The Birthday Party - BBC Four 9.00pm - 10.50pm. As part of the BBC's Harold Pinter night, they are showing this 1986 BBC adaptation of his play. I remember watching this when I was 13 and it really turned me on to Pinter's work. It is a very rare repeat, so worth catching. Stars Kenneth Cranham, Joan Plowright, Harold Pinter himself, plus Julie Walters. It's one of Pinter's most accessible (if still rather odd) plays, with some very dark humour.

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr Hunter S Thompson - BBC Two 10.30pm - 12.00am. Whether you're a fan of the legend that is Hunter S Thompson or not, this is an excellent documentary-type film about the late Doctor, which won high praise in the US when it opened two years ago. Really worth watching - great film-making and a legendary subject.

:)

Frasier - Episode where Frasier has to interview a stripper for Donny's stag party.

As I started reading this I thought it was about the porn style or Gonzo the Great.

I was disappointed.

Blossom.

Blimey! I remember that. I can't remember whether it was genuinely funny or at the time I just quite fancied her (what seemed to me, at least) sluttier friend.

Ha! She was called Six.

I've been watching early Fresh Prince and Blossom all afternoon. I have regressed.

I was watching The Birthday Party, but had to go to the guinea pig restaurant instead with a blind woman called Mrs Umachoo, using a map and signs pinned to the walls with cbeebies stickers.

Where's 'Blossom' showing then?

Six, that's was her name! It was the nickname she acquired from the episode where she had that bukake party with those six blokes, if I remember rightly?
