Best shows birthed since the death of Lowculture?

[El Capitan]

I'd have to say Hunderby, although I could watch a video of Julia Davis eating a biscuit and still laugh uproariously so I may be biased. I also enjoyed Fresh Meat in a sort of 'this isn't what my student life was like at all' way.

[Rad]

I enjoyed Fresh Meat too, and Bad Education. And am liking My Big Fat Diary.

My biggest shame is that I am still watching and sort-of-liking Pramface even though I'm not sure it's had a good episode ever.

I forgot about Teen Wolf, now featuring the immortal Bianca Lawson. Also, Pretty Little Liars went full on batshit.

Season 3 of PLL hasn't been shown over here yet, has it? I've been looking out for any sign of an airdate, but MTV don't seem to be giving anything away.

Not yet - MTV move it about so much that I don't even know where they're up to now.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with Borgen. I'm just not sure it's a very LC show?

[Essexgirl]

I love Borgen too. It isn't typical LC, but I still like decent dramas.
I also loved SMASH but I am a big girlie when it comes do TV musicals (though I rarely go see them on stage)

[Steven]

I love Borgen as well. I think it's probably the most lowculture-friendly of all the BBC4 Saturday night import dramas - there's something quite soapy about it. In the nicest possible way, obviously.

Another vote here for My Big Fat Diary. The ad campaign for it was horrible, but the show is surprisingly good - nicely witty without making light of the Very Serious Issues behind it all.

[Dave]

I think we can discuss Borgen if we focus on the interiors, amazing furniture design and how hot all the men are? (Phillipe and Kaspar in particular)

The ONLY reason to watch "Pramface" for me, was that episode last series when she came to Edinburgh for university and their ENDLESS pimping of the "Pear Tree" pub right next to my uni.

[Steven]

I quite like Pramface. Although I'll pretty much watch anything with Emer Kenny in because she's great.

[Ugly Netty]

Mad Fat Diary is surprisingly ace. So much so I got the book it's based on. However, from what I've read so far, the book has just been used as the base idea, none of the story lines are the same.

Did anyone watch The Revolution Will Be Televised in BBC3? I probably wouldn't have bothered if not for a recommendation from Mark Thomas, but I got totally obsessed by it.

"Community" and "Parks and Recreation" (can I also recommend mediahint.com which is away to access US tv via Hulu and like)

I'm still laughing at the 'So you mean it was thee who rendered Dorothy a cyclops?' line.

Also joining the Borgen Is Amazing bandwagon. Was I the only one who thought the newspaper editor looked like Alastair Campbell?

Only seen an episode but the New Normal looked good.

Game of Thrones is something I shall love forever.

Parks And Recreation is coming to BBC4 on March 6th, if anyone's interested. Staring right from the beginning, though I gather the first season is fairly different from the following ones.
