Have you seen _Good Omens_? ---

I know it’ been mentioned already, but I want to suggest Scrubs again. I’ve suggested it to people over the years, but because of the number of episodes (almost 200), they often don’t want to jump into it. However, because of it’s HIMYM like narration, you can jump in pretty much anywhere. If you watched the next couple of episodes to air, you’d be caught up, at least WRT whatever is going on right then. When they (in narration) come right out and say things like ‘now that my ex-girlfriend is working at the hospital…’ or ‘having dated both Danni and her sister, Jordan, makes things really awkward’. Whatever the case is, you get up to speed pretty quickly. Incidentally, it makes watching random reruns really easy as well. Again, like HIMYM, you don’t have to worry about where you are in the series to make sense of the group dynamics. ---

But for reals, I just watched The Fugitive the other day for the first time since I saw it in the theater. I knew he was in it (ya know, because of Scrubs) but it was still fun to see it. ---

Here’s one very few people know, and may be hard to find now. _Deadbeat_. About a loser who can see ghosts and tries to help them finish up their incomplete task that’s holding them back from reaching the afterlife. The first two seasons are really good and unusual. The third got retooled and goes off the rails a bit. ---
