I saw a DVD from this UK TV show (Via Netflix) and it's very funny.

A few people I know have highly recommended this show. They're also afraid of what American TV will do to it.

Spaced is a GREAT show, they showed Series 1 in Canada on Bravo and my wife and I managed to tape every episode. (Not hard, there's only 7) Series 2 was never shown here to my knowledge but was even funnier! I HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone who manages to find it. Lots of good 80's geek in-jokes to it too.

Are you implying that I like geeky 80s in-jokes? Because nothing could be further from the truth. I enjoy arthouse films and fine wine and other assorted French stuff.
Yeah, that's it...

I believe the same people behind "Spaced" did the currently (in the UK) released "Shaun of the Dead". I have only heard really good things about this movie and I want to see it REALLY BAD.
I did watch "The Office" season 1 last week and found it hilarious. Season 2 is coming out on DVD fairly soon I believe.
My all-time favorite british comedy will always be Red Dwarf.

You are correct, sir! Dave was suppose to see it this weekend so if we're real nice to him maybe he'll give us his input on it??? PLEASE DAVE???
Speaking of which did you see that Battle Royale 2 and Ju-On: The Grudge 2 came out? Both are available at Poker Industries. Have you seen either?

I haven't seen either yet, but I plan on getting my grubby hands on them soon!
Wow! I just went to the Shaun of the Dead website and saw the trailer. I HAVE to see this movie now! Its very much in the same genre of humor as Spaced. (Spaced actually does numerous daydreaming/fantasy segments where one of the main characters fights zombies. )
