@Thelnebriati - did you know Tenko is being repeated on Drama early in the new year? I can't wait to see it again, but through much older eyes. I think I was too young to really appreciate it first time around.

Can I just say that I love how many people have listed ER here. Over the last 18 months I rewatched series 1-8. I was to young for the first 3 series so actually was for the first time. So so good.

Finally! Someone says Parks and Rec!

I adored that show.

For anyone who enjoyed the American office, try it! First few episodes are a bit weak but it’s brilliant. Seen it a few times
