I've become quite enamoured of The Big Bang Theory, it manages to combine being mindless and a bit cerebral with ease, and Jim Parsons is quite brilliant as Sheldon.

I've caught a few episodes of that and been suitably impressed. I initially thought it would be shit, mainly thanks to Channel 4's odd advertising technique of 'selling' all their US imports by making them sound like crap, but it's really quite funny. I wish I'd seen a few more episodes and not listened to the loud, garish E4 announcer. |

I see Ade Edmondson continues to get ever more intimate with the bottom of the barrel in that ghastly ITV sitcom.

I attempted to give it a chance and began to watch an episode the other week. I lasted until the commercial break. Embarrassing awfulness.
