Corner Gas: This is the funniest show I've ever watched! Seriously! I will admit that it is mostly about nothing, but it is very entertaining nothing. You can't get any funnier than episode eight of season four when Hank has an epiphany and believes that he has been called to be a rodeo clown super hero!
Hamish Macbeth: A UK television show about a Scottish Policeman. He is somewhat lazy and has a tendency to kick the headlights on his rivals' cars. It is sometimes difficult to decide which side of the law he is on when he aides the locals to fool nosy inspectors. But somehow he solves the cases, despite the fact he spends most of his time fishing.
Robin Hood: Probably one of the best retellings of the legend of Robin Hood. This Robin Hood isn't too much of a pansy nor is he overly gruff. While it based on the traditional Robin Hood legends, the plot lines have a modern relevancy.
Eureka: One of the strangest shows I've ever watched. It's about a U.S. Marshal who has the misfortune to accidentally stumble upon a town in which a big government facility that produces the latest technology resides. His supervisor orders him to become the town's sheriff, where he gets to solve cases involving alleged alien abductions, scientists spontaneously combusting, and time warps.
Monarch of the Glen: Yet another quirky foreign TV show. This one is about a reluctant laird who struggles to save his family's estate. The characters are engaging, the scenery is intoxicating, and the music makes you want to dance over cross swords.
Ballykissangel: A British priest moves to rural Ireland and has trouble fitting in. He is dragged into all of the local problems. Alcohol is a factor!
