Naw, no problem! I saw it as an opportunity for a little fun. I think it's funny that you posted 1 minute before me, as we were both obviously working on our posts at the same time.

I wasn't going to pick Holmes on Homes but it's a great pick. One of the few home improvement shows I can stomach!

Nice pick with Roots, DFF, I'm sure lots of us had it penciled in as our Miniseries.

^^^ Yeah Coupling is such a great show. It was going to be a wildcard pick of mine in the next round or two. Guess not, now!

I was happy to get it as my world pick. I don't watch many shows from outside US/Can, really surprised it was still available. I had to search a few time to be sure.

There have been some fantastic British shows picked so far in this draft that you would probably really enjoy then. It would definitely be worth you searching them out.

I want to marry Jack Davenport! He was the best thing about the Pirates movies and basically the only reason I watched Swingtown this summer.

Mike Holmes is supposed to be building a development in Okotoks. I would imagine the economy may put a crimp ion that idea, but I hope not. It would be interesting to see what he comes up with.

What I should have said is the shows I do watch have already been selected.

I love Black Adder and have 5 seasons on DVD. Great pick.

I"m really excited for this next pick, I've had it written up since this morning. I hope this selection works in the Comedy (Open) category, if not, I can move it. In the Comedy (Open) category, Team Legen…wait for it…dary is very pleased to select The Muppet Show!

This is one of my favorite shows ever! When I was little, my mom always let me stay up late to watch reruns of it. It always had great guest stars and great musical numbers. My favorite Muppets were always Statler & Waldorf and the Swedish Chef (which gave us the awesome nickname Bork!).

IMDB page:

Wikipedia page:

Clips:

Show Opening



This one should be familiar to Flames fans...Dion Phaneuf!





Statler & Waldorf montage



Pigs in Space



I could post these all day so I'll just stop now.

But with only one UK show left that I watch I had to grab Coupling. No Muppets for me make me sad. Grrr.....
