Speaking of Claire Danes... (see News Short below) - let's hope her new show is better than Full Circle. Aired on M-Net last year and what a joke - couldn't make it past 35-minutes, despite the cast that includes Timothy Olyphant and Dennis Quaid. Bad script, contrived plot, unconvincing acting.

Murder mystery Poker Face redefines the concept of a procedural by using style, structure, language and theatricality in an excellent Season 1. The good news: there's going to be a Season 2. Premiere date still loading.

Grow.Cook.Eat. just ended on The Home Channel and we want more. Even better would be a South African version with guidance and delicious ideas on how to grow your own food.

Latest Pam Golding TV ad is full of big stuff marketing speak that makes no sense. Features an estate agent with a voiceover saying: "At Pam Golding we understand that the most valuable properties are those that can't be bought or sold." WTF? The entire real estate business is based on buying and selling properties! Maybe they're giving them away for free. >>
