*(I type that combination of words a lot, don’t I?)

I found myself in the weird position of checking I could find Dave on the EPG in the house the other day. (An explanation for people outside the UK, Dave is the name of a free-to-air TV channel that claims to be the home of witty banter, in an attempt to fight people like me’s long-established perception that it’s the place where ‘funny’ panel shows and Top Gear air on repeat.) It’s now the home of Parks and Recreation, which was on last night in the much more sensible 8 p.m. slot than BBC Four’s late-night one - seriously, I remember an interview where the cast were criticising it.

But although 8 o’clock on a Monday night is a good slot in theory, in practice, it was a relief I’d also checked that Dave has a catch-up facility online, because my life being what it is at the moment, there was no way I was going to be able to watch it live. So I’m probably going to sneak in a few more season 3 Leslie/Ben fics before I do – does that make me a bad fan? A selfish one. I want Dave to be glad they bought the rights, but I also want to read more fic before canon moves on.

(In other TV news, I plan to catch up eventuallyon Tuppence and Tommy’s adventures and Person of Interest, which is back this week. SHAW! BEAR! MACHINE! Strong likelihood of helicopters and defenestration!!!)

What I did do last night was catch up on Nashville

3.9 Two Sides to Every Story

Agents of SHIELD season2 finale

I’ve never got a SHIELD icon. Part of the reason is that my feelings for characters have varied such a lot – except maybe May, but I think other fans love her more fiercely than I do. What I would love is some sort of group or four quarters one of the ladies: Skye, Melinda, Jemma and Bobbi.

IN OTHER NEWS: The rest of Parks and Rec is going to be shown in the UK on Dave, which is not the most obvious fit to me, but it they air it at a reasonable hour, that will be fine. Home Fires has been recommissioned, which I’m pleased about, and I think I will try to watch Humans.

3.16 L’il Sebastian

And I may have done a little dance of joy at the news that Sir Bruce Forsyth will no longer be presenting the main Strictly show. I’ve been hoping for this to happen for a couple of years now.

If they want to keep it ‘inhouse’ I hope they go on bended knee to Claudia. There are also a dozen billion presenters who have been contestants on the show to turn to, so I think we may avert Tess and him indoors. If they are deciding to bring in someone completely new things up, I hope they realise that older gent/younger lady no longer cuts it.

My excitement that Pixar have announced they'll be making The Incredibles 2 is tempered a little. I’d like to find out what happened next to the Parrs, of course, and I'm very much pro superhero franchises, if you hadn't noticed, but I’m hoping they’ve decided to make it because the Pixar team have come up with a great story (more in the Toy Story vein than the more recent sequels from the studio). I also hope that Brad Bird is involved – at the very least as Edna, but also in the writing, producing and directing.

I caught up with Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

I watched these shows on Thursday, but then there were time pressures and broadband problems, which I hope have been solved.

3.8 Camping

I looked up the airing dates of the show to help me not to get spoiled when reading fic and this season only has 16 episodes. I am quite tempted to give the Harvest Festival episode a rewatch.

TGW 5.6

Sorry for spamming, but I didn't want one post to cover both shows, mainly because they're so different and that needed to be reflected in icon choices.

So, I caught up with Parks and Rec last night.

And if anyone wants to rec early season 3 Leslie/Ben fics (I'm working through het_reccers), please feel free to do so. Specicifity about when they're set is very welcome.
