I finished the first two seasons of
Bletchely Circle and have started the third, the one in San Francisco. It looks like there are 4 chapters. Each chapter has two tv sized episodes. I remember seeing the first chapter - not sure if I've seen the others. but it's fine. With my memory everything old is new again.
There is a new TV show called
Animal Control on Fox on Thursdays, It stars Joel McHale. I used to love Community and this show has the same brand of humor. Maybe not quite as clever. Joel plays almost the same character as he did in Community. A snarky but lovable A-hole.
The first part of the first episode was a re-telling of a story, the squirrel cop, that used to get played every Christmas on This American Life. It's the story where the cops go in to investigate a sound in the attic and cause a lot of injury and damage. The story is LOL funny and worth a listen. I put a link to it at the bottom and if you rather read it - there is a transcript attached,
Even tho the episode was sort of plagiarism, probably not that many people are familiar with squirrel cop, and those that are probably are like me and don't mind, it's fun to revisit.
Interestingly, the first I heard of this show, Animal Control, was from PETA who did not like that they used real live animals in the show.
Oh here is the bit
