TheMeek Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Arguably the best sitcom ever, it mixes british humor with geeky pop culture references. Discuss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Dead..................(Spaced) Shaun...........................(Tim- Main Character) Yvonne.........................(Daisy - Co-star, Tim's flatmate) Ed.................................(Mike - Tim's best friend) Pete..............................(Duane - Guy who stole Tim's g/f) It was also directed by the same guy and was written by Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Jessica Stevenson (Yvonne) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melll Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I LOVE Spaced... So glad it's on BBC America, those guys need to see that! I've been a huge fan for years. Love Shaun too and can't wait for Hot Fuzz. Wish they'd make a 3rd Season of Spaced though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMeek Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I really wish I had BBC America. I had to resort to...other measures. Good thing is they're planning to release a North American version of the DVDs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I am so sorry I haven't gotten back. I have it recorded, I just haven't had the time to watch it (the job...the kid...the wife...the house...the family...the friends), but I WILL watch it this weekend. I PROMISE!

ReRushed Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I just finished watching Spaced for the first time. Funny stuff. I really enjoyed it. The guy lost his job at the comic book store after insulting a kid for wanting a Jar Jar Binks toy or something. Good stuff. I'm going to watch another episode sometime this week and I'll have a better handle on the characters and premise. All in all, a very good show.

TheMeek Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Excellent, too bad you didn't see the episode before that, it explained a lot about their situation and how they got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many golden moments in that Episode: "What a prick...." Tim's answerphone message to Bilbo, I love. Simon Pegg can do girlie-crying like no-one else. Glad you liked it.

DeanWinchester Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Spaced is a superb comedy! It's peppered with referenes to movies, TV, and comic books, but you don't have to know the references to enjoy it (it helps, though). Simon Pegg, and the rest are very talented and have been in many comedies, notably Big Train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickslikk2112 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I love Spaced, being a Brit I watched it on Channel 4, it used to be my Friday night highlight , but the buggers don't seem to want to repeat it. Must get the DVDs. Presuming most of you are Americans, it surprises me that you enjoy British comedy that wasn't that well known in Britain.

It has a very short unofficial sequel during the documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have resigned myself to the fact that American TV sucks except for a few good SciFis. However, I recently watched all of the new Doctor Who, The first season of Torchwood, the first few episodes of Red Dwarf, and all three seasons of Black Books, and of course both seasons of Spaced, and have come to the conclusion that British TV rocks.

DeanWinchester Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Torchwood? Sorry, but think it sucks in a big way. It had a promising premise, and was billed as an adult show. But, swearing and a little suggestive sex doesn't an adult drama make. BSG shows how to make an adult drama. Black Books is another awesome comedy. Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey play well off of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Books is another awesome comedy. Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey play well off of each other. Did you really get into Torchwood though? It took me a while. Once you get past the fact that everyone in Cardiff (I think that's where it takes place) seems to be bi-sexual, it's actually a great show. A bit darker and more sex-filled, but good action, plot, character development, drama, etc. And I love that they brought Jack back in the show. His whole dark past thing is good to have thrown in the mix. And at the end of the last episode you hear the Tardis! I can't wait for season two. Oh, and I'm almost positive that the hand in the jar is the Doctor's hand that got cut off in Christmas Invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
