There has been a sad lack of Friday 5s lately. Since I’m moving in a week, I’ve been forced to spend less time writing and more time wrapping up my life in England and packing up the small mountain of stuff that clearly mates and multiplies every time I leave the house. It’s not right to just leave you hanging, though, so today I give you 5 Things to Tide You Over Till There’s a Proper Friday 5. How very meta of me.
5. In the interest of staying informed, it is my duty to inform you that the odds of an actor’s strike are getting better by the day. Yes, AMPTP has apparently decided that they don’t mind killing television for another season. Don’t cry. Please, don’t cry.
4. Here’s something to cheer you up: the most unabashedly fun show of the summer, Burn Notice, is returning on July 10. If you’re in the US, you can watch the entire first season on Hulu. Non-US people, well, you’re sort of screwed, as the box set is only available as a Region 1 import. Still, if you like your spy dramas stylish, clever and featuring Bruce Campbell in a key role, you should definitely check it out.
3. How well do you know your UK cult TV characters? Play the cult trumps game and find out. Okay, the game is ridiculously easy, but it’s a fun journey down memory lane for some. For everyone not raised in the UK, it’s a long-overdue introduction to Bagpuss.
2. TV Squad compiled a list of their five favorite George Carlin routines. Damn, but that man was really, really good.
1. Prepare to squeal like the Whedon-loving fool you are: we have the first teaser for Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Whedon’s musical Internet mini-series starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion, and it looks EXCELLENT.
