I heart BBC America

There hasn't been much of interest to me on American television lately. I know I should be watching Lost, but I'm too far behind and catching up seems like an awful lot of work. So I'm not going to, and stop arguing with me. So You Think You Can Dance and Rock Star: INXS are all over now, so I don't have those. I have The Apprentice, (Go Josh!) but really, that’s it.

BBC America to the rescue! A few weeks back, Captain Jersey was over and fell asleep on me, and because he literally fell asleep ON ME, I couldn't really go anywhere or do anything so I started flipping through channels. I stopped on 106 and watched a little show called Bodies.

Holy shit, people. Picture ER at the Worst. Hospital. Ever. Incompetent doctors killing patients and then covering up for each other. Doctors being totally sarcastic and rude to people who are dying. Everyone fucking everyone else. Hot British guys. Full frontal nudity. Blood and guts. It's genius.

Independently of me, The Roommate discovered Footballers Wive$, which Miss Tanya sums up nicely here. I will add this, though. Body doubles! Drunken threesome propositions! A character named Chardonnay! Hermaphrodite baby! Blackmail! This is the most deliciously trashy show ever. The Roommate and I are now psychotically obsessed with both shows.

Thanks, BBC America. I haven't been this excited about television since you were airing The Office and Coupling at the same time.
