Although I knew who it'd be when I saw the ads showing a third murder and Jay saying her long goodbyes, I'm still a little surprised that they killed her off. Why oh why couldn't it have been the entire Jefferies family (except for maybe Libby who's grown on me)…

Yup, Drawn Together is a very funny take on so many genres. The Adult Swim network in the US has quite a few little gems like that. I'm waiting to see if Robot Chicken makes it over here – funniest stop motion animation I ever did see.

TV highlight of the week for me has been the wickedly profane Drawn Together on Prime at 10-30.

Whats not to like about a show that includes the Labia song and God sampling the goodies in a glory hole?

Very funny and well-observed and who would have thunk that Adam…

Good to see the Street is still as I remember it, and still failing really hard at getting jiggy with a younger audience. Opener tonight featured intergenerational argument over music – the song in question is apparently "number 3 on the charts with a bullet" – the stereo's turned up…

Oh it's totally Joey with this whole practicing medical procedures thing. Damn.

State of Play's up against Outrageous Fortune so I can't watch it on Tuesday, but after your recommendation in the Listener I recorded the early-morning repeat of episode one last week. Brilliant. It even hooked my other half, which for a non-SF drama is a fairly remarkable feat.

Good for us channel surfers though ;-)

Last night I watched an *entire* segment of One News (from break to break) within a 3 News ad break, AND an *entire* segment of 3 News within a One News ad break.

That old line about the ad breaks being longer than the programmes? Sometimes it's actually true.

I don't see why the killer has to be one person, it could be a copy cat. Also have they shared the cause of death for either of them?

Plus, I just found out yesterday that there is an omnibus edition of Shortie on Sunday mornings. I'm not sure whether…

My husband grew up on the outskirts of Houston in the 70s. He said Dazed and Confused is completely accurate. And yes, they did chase the freshmen with paddles. L-I-V-I-N!

The removal of 30 Rock is utterly infuriating. BAH!

Dazed and Confused is a great movie. I dunno whether it was growing up in Blenheim 25 years ago or if it's similar for the whole of the country but that whole summer nights, out in cars, heavy rock, beer and herb, not much happening thing is a great nostalgia…

I'm hoping and praying that the killer is Mark, because I am so fucking sick of the whole Maia/Tania blah blah blah, so I think some murder and miscarriages and leaving the series could be in order.

(Wow, I feel like an awful person wishing even pretend miscarriages on people!)

You guys, I'd bet on this, the killer is the bad date that Libby and Clare both knew – that fellow Clare and Kieran kidnapped and beat up for scaring Libby and Clare.

Fiona – I love your From the Couch updates, keep them coming!

(the reason I'm pissed is cos I'm already recording Rescue Me on TV1 at 11pm)

Yeah, I spotted that too. BASTARDS!! As RB said, they are contemptable ...

Other TV news: 3 or 4 weeks into the new season, Nip/Tuck this week moves to Monday @ 10:30, for some reason.

Shortland St.: Why do they always shake hands with their left hands recently? What's with that?

My wife's mum (who is a great lady: no ma in law jokes here)
visited us recently to help out: she's a Shortie Street fan, and Claudia (my other half) is now hooked.

So I see it, a bit. Not that I'm defensive about this or anything.

That's by way…
