Life's Too Short (Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Warwick Davis) is on my list. And it's not new but I'm excited for season 2 of An Idiot Abroad!

Life's Too Short should be amazing. I thought Cemetery Junction was quite good; unfortunately few others did. Then again, I love the song that inspired that film: Springsteen's Thunder Road.

What a surprise - a hipster likes shows that aren't mainstream enough to be renewed!

There's a downfall of the hipster lifestyle i never thought of (besides drinking PBR, blech) - all the shows you like ironically get cancelled!

He's obviously not a hipster. Hipsters don't have tvs. And they love to remind us of that fact at every opportunity, and also enlighten us to how tvs are the mind-control devices of the puppetmasters that keep us calm and docile and get us to buy lots of products we don't need.

Season 2 started already. They have already shown one episode.

Edit: Actually, that was the last episode of season 1 that just aired a few days ago. Bizarre. Starts again on Sep. 28th.

You are actually right. What happened was they had 12 episodes for season 1. Then it didn't start picking up ratings wise (because they poorly advertised it) until near the end of season 1. They then decided to air season 2's first show last week as part of season 1 to promote the season 2. It's all very confusing and I'm not sure why they aired the show as they did but it all worked out I guess. Awesome show regardless.
