Anything good on TV tonight?

I thought we could share some TV shows that people may want to recommend, specifically today/tonight. We could make this a daily thing even.

So, people of the UK, who's going to be watching Spooks:Code 9? I am. I was a Spooks fan and so I look forward to seeing what this brings. Spooks: Code 9 is set in 2013 after London was attacked by a nuclear bomb. The public now greatly distrust the services that were supposed to protect them, one of them being MI5 from where the Spooks operate.

Are you going to be watching? What would you like to recommend? What would you like to tell people to avoid at all costs?!

I recommend M*A*S*H*

Avoid any anime. Avoid Ninja Warrior (Nothin' but repeats). That is all. Dismissed.

If it's what I think it is then Andrew Marr's got an awesome looking show on BBC1 at 9.

Spooks code 9 is going to be RUUUUUUUUUUUUUBISH.

Watch Britain from above instead.

I've not been following Spooks so I'm not going to jump in right now. Crimson Tide is on BBC1, which is good but I've already got it on DVD.

That heart attack thing thats been getting loads of viral advertising is on tonight, 9.15 on ITV. During Misomer Murders, apparently. Maybe they'll link it into the plot...

Ice Road Truckers on the History Channel

Adult Swim is always awesome.

Come Tuesday I recommend Eureka on the Sci-fi Channel, known as "A Town Called Eureka" in the UK.

Premise: Average IQ US Marshal winds up the Sheriff of the small town of Eureka, a town of geniuses working for the US government to come up with new technology.

Many of the genius characters are wacky to some degree, and inevitably someones invention malfunctions dangerously (and often hilariously) results. It contains lots of SCIENCE! , but usually has at least a veneer of actual science to whats going on.

There's some sort of international athletic competition going on that I might catch.

Personally I really like The Office and My Name Is Earl. The Rick Mercer Report is pretty good too.
