"There's a rainbow in Toronto..."

For those who don't know, this SCTV sketch was parodying "Going Down the Road."

I never did see all of "Dead Like Me" during its original run, so I've gone back to it.

Time for me to dig up the original animated feature, I guess.

Went back for the single season of the live action "Cowboy Bebop"and lamenting that it didn't get more.

I just didn't say why it's one of my favourite shows ;)

"Fringe" is one of my favourite shows. The last season goes off the rails a bit, but the whole thing is a fun ride. Got the boxed set ;)
