Out of curiosity, and since we have a TV Channel that seems to show nothing but the various varieties of "Law and Order"; have any of our US codrunkards seen "Law and Order: UK"? And, if so, what do they think?

The Addams Family. I used to come home from school and watch it. I think right after it, my mom's favorite soap opera, The Edge of Night, came on. She would curl up on the couch, light a Salem, and God help you if you fell off the fence with a concussion or slipped out of a tree and began bleeding--this was her time.

Really enjoying, "Hannibal". Although I do have to watch it when everyone else is out of the house (it does take a bit of a strong stomach). However, who doesn't love an Eddie Izzard special appearance?

In addition to the previously mentioned Bar Rescue and Longmire, I've really been enjoying Drunk History and also the last season of Burn Notice.

I haven't seen tv in so many years. But when we had Forced Entertainment Network on The Rock, I did like the PSAs. Especially the one with Wilfred Brimley as the retired Gunney who went fishing with his little grandson and bored the kid into a nap.

Oh, and the one where the Marines were chessmen who fought and won with the sword.

A Touch of Cloth, a very funny, boozy, police-procedural piss-take.

To see an episode, click here.

Enjoy!

The next season/installment of American Horror Story starts in less than a month.

Guilleromo Del Toro's new series, "The Strain" looks promising.

Always Sunny just started back up, as well as The League. Both are in fine form.

Also, I really want this Archer shirt: http://shop.fxnetworks.com/archer-full- ... d-clothing

"The Heart, She Holler"

This is bizarre. Maybe brilliant.

Patton Oswalt was on Conan the other night and he said that it was like a soap opera written on PCP.

HBO's True Dectective, with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, looks promising, too.

Oh...and Marvel's Agents of Shield is looking good.

All this and the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, it's shaping up to be a good season.
