Misfits (British TV)
Watched them all over here, love the series, can't wait for the new season, although without my favourite character, not sure how good it will be :S
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
I haven't seen a thread about this show yet. Is anyone else watching it?

Has a bunch of largely unlikeable characters that are strangely likeable
It also does a fairly decent time travel story arc. Which is worth mentioning because time travel story arcs are usually pancake.
This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

I love misfits. I can't wait for Series 3.
Little bit wary of a new character coming in, but ah well.
I loved it. Cant wait for season 3.
I will miss Nathan for sure, he got the best sentences.
But I love Kelly too, and her accent.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
In case anyone didn't notice, the new season started a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, Nathan is missed but not much ;-P
Still good stuff IMHO.

I didn't know about Nathan not being in the new season. I have to wait for it to hit Hulu. I'm not sure how I feel about no Nathan...

I've watched Series 1 & 2. Loved the show. Waiting on all of Series 3 to come out here before I watch the rest of it.
I like that they aren't afraid to go to some pretty dark and disturbed places

I didn't really care for Nathan though, SO... I won't miss him much anyhow.
Love the show. And it has also potentially resulted in one of the greatest nightmares ever visited on mankind. They are doing an American remake.
The Being Human remake was good (though not as good as the original) so remakes can be done well.
But I can't see Misfits being done well because they will reduce it to a g rated or at best pg rated show.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
I have the feeling that an American Nathan will just be plain annoying rather than annoying/funny.
Love the show, the characters, the music and the story.
Cannot see this directly translating into an American 22-episode per season format with the same characters.
I would like to see an American version postulating that the same empowering event happened in America, and following a group of American young adults with the same punkish overall feel, dark themes and lighthearted superhero deconstruction. For bonus points, the two shows could refer to each other in news reports and the like.

Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!

first, the 22-episode format only exists nowadays for sitcoms, just about everything else runs 13 episodes. i would love to see this as a cable show, say showtime or starz or something, allowing for a more true-to-form show. and i really like the parallel story idea
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"
It would also be cool to explore some different (but also low-budget) super powers.

I personally find the storylines absolutely ridiculously over the top... But I love it for that.
Finally caught up with the first 3 episodes of season 3. A bit more emo than seasons 1 & 2 but still solidly entertaining. I miss Nathan. The new guy is basically a clone (heh) as far as being a jerk goes but he doesn't have the charm of Nathan to temper it.
And I think I've figured out the answer to the Simon time travel dilemma. I'm probably wrong but it seems obvious to me.
