I think they're going with the "leave them wanting more" principle. Jim -- Twitter:@GreyAreaUK "If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you." Terry Pratchett

ICBA to watch it, it had become boring. Mind you "Lost", which seemed to attract a similar level of attention, got boring on episode 1 and ended in much the same way. A2A was boring like "Life on Mars" partly because it got the 80s wrong as LoM got the 70s wrong. I was particularly bored with "Lost" because it was a rip-off of "Seahorse in the Sky" by Edmund Cooper.

I slogged through the first series of 'Lost' and came to the conclusion that I didn't actually care who lived or died[0]. In hindsight I'm amazed I made it past episode 1... Jim [0] somewhat ironically, it would seem. -- "Microsoft admitted its Vista operating system was a 'less good product' in what IT experts have described as the most ambitious understatement since the captain of the Titanic reported some slightly damp tablecloths." http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/

I spent a year at University living next door to the area portrayed in Shameless, on the border between Gorton and Droylsden in Manchester. Shameless isn't a drama or a comedy, it's a documentary. |
