    What? Where in the world are you getting this "fact" that none of the people who enjoyed the British "Office" watch the U.S. version? Your dirty little secret is that you just make stuff up.

    I don't mind reruns. As long as they play The Dresden Files I'll be happy! :)

    As long as we're recommending TV shows on DVD of monumental excellence:

    1) "The Prisoner." Yes, the legendary and surreal Patrick McGoohan series from the1960's. It's still the best thing ever broadcast.

    2) "MI-5" Very British, very suspenseful and disturbingly topical. Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a country where there's a CIA clone whose powers reach into the USA -- not just outside it? That's how it is in the U.K.

    Hearing that The Dresden Files will start showing in re-runs November 9th at 7pm on the SciFi Channel has left me fine as long as they return from strike prior to the 12 episode airing.
