“Six Feet Under” S1 E2-4. I watched a few more episodes since I’m taking a few days off from “Highlander” before I get into Season 5. I liked the silliness of some of the plot lines and the characters are interesting.

Today was a day for more Stephen Fry since I’m reading his autobiography and that just makes me want to check out other things in his career that I have not already seen. This includes British “Who do you think you are?” with him in it that I watched on YouTube. (YouTube has all kinds of British shows on.)Why are British shows so much better edited than the American ones and don’t feel the need to recap information for viewers. They just assume that the audience has a brain and long term memory. That was such an emotional episode. He cried at two points in seeing a plaque to his great-grandparents and then finding out for sure that his grandfather’s sister and her children were killed in concentration camps. He is just very witty and intelligent person and it fun to watch him. Being smart is my favorite quality in finding someone interesting. I also put some Stephen Fry stuff on my Netflix queue for later.

While checking out British TV videos on YouTube I found this video full of awesome impressions.
