The lesser of Drake & Josh is showing he’s actually the more…er… oh dear. Um, basically Josh Peck is hip and cool. Whereas Drake Bell makes perfectly decent McFly-like albums and stars in ads for Best Buy. Peck has lost a whole load of weight and is currently at the Sundance film festival, showing off a film I really want to see – The Wackness – a movie set in the 90s and co-starring Juno’s Olivia Thirlby, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ben Kingsley and Famke Janssen.

Sam’s Top 11 TV Shows of the Year
Television. The ol’ Goggle Box. The Tube. Yes, it’s time to celebrate the electronic hearth in the corner of the room which used to give us our information and still maintains its place as the one piece of art the Americans are just so, so much better at.
Without any further rambling, any further chatter, here are the eleven most notable of television shows I have seen this year and, at the close, a brief list of those I have not seen or could not make space for in the list.

THE WEEK ON TV: 23rd – 29th September
SUNDAY– 9pm, BBC2 – Stuart: A Life Backwards –
We’ve already brought attention to this, so I’m not going to go on about it again, but Alexander Masters’ book, about his friendship with a charming, incredibly trouble homeless man; Stuart, is amazing and it looks like this drama will live up to the novel.
MONDAY– 10pm, BBC2- Kath & Kim –
A genius Australian comedy series, you must have seen it… right?
TUESDAY– 9.30pm – BBC4 – Flight Of The Conchords –
Music, comedy and randomness. If you like The Mighty Boosh or Peep Show, give it a try.
WEDNESDAY – 8pm Sky Movies HD 2 –Serenity –
Joss Whedon’s Western in space movie which followed on from his shockingly cancelled series Firefly. With his trademark humour honed over years of Buffy, this is a fantastic movie with eye candy provided from Waitress‘s Nathan Fillion.
THURSDAY – 8.30pm More4 – The Daily Show With Jon Stewart –
Always right on the button of current events, and always funny – Jon Stewart’s show is on every week day.
FRIDAY – 10pm BBC2 – QI –
Stephen Fry teaches Alan Davies, the panel and everyone at home everything that’s worth knowing.
SATURDAY – 6.05pm & 8.30pm ITV – The X Factor –
You know what to expect in this double bill – the auditionees go to Boot Camp!
So that rounds up this week on TV – There are the glossy American heavyweights too remember – Heroes, Series 3 of Prison Break, Entourage, Brothers And Sisters etc, and I’ll be back next week with my pick of what’s coming up. I might even review a few of these shows during the week time-permitting!
Enjoy your telly-based evenings, however many you may plan…
