At September 30, 2011 at 12:35 PM , Tyson Adams said...: I'm similar. We are in regional Australia, so we don't get much TV choice. What TV we do get isn't aimed at us (two postgrad nerds who like reading) so we find our own media (Justified, Leverage, The Wire, Luther, anything by Joss Whedon).

Writing, reading, blogging; much better than watching most of the crap on TV.

Unfortunately, we do get BBC America now, and I don't think I'll be satisfied until I see the entire backlog of Top Gear. Good god is that show funny.

More recently they feel like they are reaching for stuff to do. But then they'll pull out a gem like crossing the English Channel in the Toybota Hilux, after proving it was indestructible and could be driven to the north pole.
