Sam Peckinpaw directed a few of the later episodes, he cut his teeth there as a writer.
While we're at vintage shows, check out Police Story, if you can find it.
In "The Rifleman", Lucas McCain is always trying to teach his son Mark to be a good, upstanding person. Meanwhile, Lucas himself can't keep from shooting somebody every few episodes.
My favorite "Police Story" episode ('Collision Course') features Jerry Lee Lewis as one of two killers on the run.
Here's a YouTube clip, but it's dubbed in Italian:

Now that we're back in the lovely USA, we're catching up on TONS of series. In fact, so much that I had to purchase an extra channel on the cable to get the current season of Weeds.
Last night we plowed through 3 episodes of SOA, Season 2. LOVING it!
Breaking Bad looks interesting.
ROME was amazing up until the last couple of episodes when they tried to cram 30 years into 40 mins. I couldn't get into Spartacus.
Boardwalk Empire has been put on the list.
I saw a poster for The Borgias but not sure if it actually took off.
Shameless has piqued the house as well.
Wilfred cracks us up and sends the kid out of the room shielding eyes. Self removing is a good thing in the tween years.
Deadwood, Carnivale and a few others are on the list.
We get a daily dose of CSI (except Miami), NCIS, Lie to Me, Burn Notice and other "solve-it" shows whenever "nothing else is on". And then there's Netflix.... for all the movies that were cut to ribbons by the Slingawhorian review panel. I've watched about 4 movies again that actually made sense when not completely censored. The most hacked to bits: The Departed. Why did they even bother showing it? Pfft!

I've noticed a new show on the On Demand section of my cable TV package. It's called James May Drinks. James May and a wine expert drive around Britain and drink stuff.

That is indeed a funny series. Over here it was called Oz And James Drink To Britain. And followed on from their first collaboration Oz And James' Big Wine Adventure.

Watch the Whiskey in Justified, it's not your run of the mill Beam or maker's with the label removed, I've seen some heavies on there, Blanton's and so on. Great show, love it.

yeah, just last night we were watching, and The Redhead asked what a bourbon was a judge was drinking; it was blanton's. then later this broken-down old redneck had turkey in his house.
too bad they don't know their guns as well as their whiskey. in that same episode, they once again refered to a shotgun as a "rifle."
Stupid should hurt.
