I am really into Endgame on Showcase. Great show, funny and it is filmed here in Vancouver.
It is about an agoraphobic who solves crimes, sort of like a cop show, without the cops. And with a cool Russian accent.

I haven't seen that. Does anyone watch Mike and Molly? It's hilarious, I love the pot smoking sister.

Really liked Misfits esp the first season. The wire is excellent.

Just watched a show from down your way. "Housos"

Quote
Housos tells the not-so-epic stories of Shazza, Dazza, Franky and Kylie - four best mates from down on the block. Sure, they drink away their problems, they might even have frequent domestics but down on the block it's all for one and one for all.

Follow the adventures of the residents of the Sunnyvale Housing Commission in every-town Australia. They battle cops and they scam Centerlink, they even have the occasional threesome and swingers party, but once your down with the crew in the hood then it's " Sunnyvale for life".

I actually never heard of that until Clattenburg PM'd me about it five months ago.  Haven't checked it out yet.  How do you find it?

Housos has a lot more in common with the other shows those guys have made, 'Fast Pizza' and 'Swift and Shift Couriers', than the TPB's.  I haven't been a fan of any of their shows; too much shouting and over the top stupidity for me to truly love...  but I keep watching.

There are some major points of similarity between the Housos and TPBs.  Obviously there is Sunnyvale, lower class people, lots of cursing and too much alcohol.  That said there isn't the love affair with weed that TPB has, it's not a mockumentry... although there is a narrator and he has spoken to the film crew once or twice.  When I first saw this in the wilds of the internet it's wikipedia page claimed it was a direct TPB remake, but that has since been revised.  Here's the revision if anyone really cares for too much information.
