Good shout on Three Burials. That's a great movie.
The Road is the one which sticks out for me for films. Just gripping and so emotionally affecting. I love that movie.

Such a great show and Ted Danson's best character ever, gutted that they didn't go for a fourth season.
I have to add Louie to my list over underrated tv-shows, the scene with Ricky Gervais as his doctor from the first season is pure gold. Can't wait for the new episodes.

Shows that are remotely intellectual or witty don't last in Merica.. See the newsroom hasn't been renewed either. Travesty.
Politely, WALOB. The US is light years ahead of the UK in terms of intelligent, well written comedy and drama. The examples you cite would never have been commissioned here, let alone given a run.

Loved their first album, really gave their other stuff a chance and really wanted to like it but it just never moved on. Real disappointment for me, they never developed or recaptured the feel of the early stuff.

Sadly I tend to agree.. But that first album, my GHod, it was absolute magic!
On another note, I like the same music as Jurgen the German?? Has the world gone mad?

It still amazes me the amount of people who have no idea who the **** he is!

Plus the News Room is hand chewingly corny.

Yeah, I threw up a little when I saw you said the same as me

I'll give you that for season two, what with the 'good-guy' turn of Leona Lansing and the schmaltzy ending.
But I thought season one and a lot of season two were fantastic.

Valid points for both sides of the arguement. For example, Arrested Development, which I think is the best sitcom ever made, wasn't watched in great number so was dropped by it's network, even though it won a host of Emmys and a Golden Globe. The reason for the low number was because the jokes are so layered, people recorded the show to watch a few times, and at the time the TEVO systems didn't register the recordings as views.
On the flip side, America is well known for drawing out television shows well past their saturation point. Popularity and money demand that they continue. Armando iannucci, who is one the of great sitcom writers of our time, is doing a lot of work in America at the moment. It will be interesting to see how he deals with demand for more series, as he was happy to stop Partridge and The Thick Of It at the height of their popularity.
