I've just completed watching the whole of the first series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and here's a quick guide to each episode, and the stand-out moments from each. I've added a rank (out of 5) for each episode! However, I'm slightly biased in favour of several episodes, since I had some on VHS, taped from the telly from many moons ago...

I just watched Accidental Hero with Dustin Hoffman, without Duston playing the lead role that probably wouldn't be half as watchable. It's an enjoyable film but not somethin gI'd watch many times. I've seen it once before. I prefered Dustin in Mad City, but he carries this film well enough.
 
Just finished watching the replay of the Grand-Am Rolex "Porsche 250" that I recorded earlier today.

Great race BTW!

Up next, yesterday's recording of the same series, but the "GT" class...even though I know who won! ;-(
 
I haven't seen Leno or Conan in a while but ever since I can get them in HD I can't get enough of them and the News. :dopey:
 
Saw "Hot Fuzz" the other night. Hilarious.

Watched "Pathfinder" last night. American Indians vs. The Vikings. Predictable from the start. I seriously could have watched it on fast forward and still understood the story.
 
Just watched Japan lose in the Little League World Series. It took eight innings, and while I wasn't impressed with either teams early, both teams really stepped it up a notch in the last 2, 3 innings.

Congrats to Georgia. 👍

I recorded it, for my boys and I to watch it later. It only recorded to the 7th inning. I didn't know who won until now.
