On July, 21st 2009 someone very near and dear to my heart died. Les Lye, a great comedic actor from Canada died at the age of 84.

When i called to retrieve the message, i was greeted with a strange voice calling me names, and telling me i owed him money for beer…HBO had a new comedy coming on soon and this was a joke a friend was playing on me, and i had fallen for it hook line and sinker. Viral marketing sometimes works really well.

Television shows, that intrigue you, make you think or just flat out make you laugh, are few and far between. Well there is one show out there that has absolutely captured my attention and I can’t miss an episode. That show is Wipeout.

I can remember watching, Keeping up Appearances, and Are you being served on PBS just before SNL would come on in the 80′s. It was really my second introduction to what BBC had to offer.

I hope that Comcast got a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct after that one.
