My Weekly Addiction

The 5 Mrs. Buchanans

I recently discovered this gem of a show on YouTube. Me being the person I am proceeded to watch every episode. It didn't take long for me to get hooked, after all any program that can make me laugh out loud instantly gets my respect. But alas like many great shows its life was destined to be short-lived. After a mere 17 episodes CBS bizarrely saw fit to cancel it, God only knows why. This was one of those rare shows that just works, its difficult to explain what makes it so, perhaps its the unique combination of quirky characters or the simplicity of the story lines, of course the fact that the entire lead cast is female helps. I know its a cliché but its good clean fun and I often think that's the best kind of humour. It such a shame that it never got the chance to continue but at least we have the memories.

Out Of Practice

This has to be one of the most under appreciated comedy's of my generation. This quirky show about a family of Doctors is without a doubt one of the funniest and most upbeat shows I have seen in my entire life, and I've seen a lot of shows. Despite the fact that it hit all the right buttons and had a fantastic cast it somehow failed to impress the network and CBS axed it before it even completed its first season. So we the fans are stuck mourning the loss without even a DVD set for comfort. It is such a shame as it truly was great. Any show that can make me laugh out loud repeatedly wins my approval. I'm a big fan of Stockard and it was great to see her in such a fun role, the chemistry between the entire cast was perfect. Lets not forget the fabulous and very gay Regina. I mean seriously what more do you need?
