"The Checkout" on ABC weeknights at 6.30pm... probably not too many episodes left as they are now into the second season. Demonac put me onto this show, and it should be required viewing as it covers dodgy marketing and products, as well as consumer rights when buying products or signing up to anything financial.
I've only started to watch 'The Checkout' as well. Brilliant. Quirky and funny & great ABC cast. FU-Tube is a great segment.
Finally finished watching 2006/7 Saiyuuki --- mild spoiler warning ---

At the end of the last episode, Sanzouhoushi (Tripitaka), Son Gokuu (Monkey), Sa Gojou (Sandy) and Cho Hakkai (Pigsy) escape from the baddies. Weary and beaten, they see a man sitting with his back facing towards them drinking from a big bottle of water. Gokuu begs him to give them a drink, but he ignores their pleas and continues drinking. Gokuu rushes at him, but the old man lifts the bottle causing Gokuu to trip over and fall. As Gokuu looks up, the old man is laughing at him, but the audience sees that the old man is played by Sakai Masaaki, who of course played the original Son Gokuu/Monkey from the 1978-80 "Monkey" TV series! :D The old man then picks up Nyoibou (Gokuu's staff) and starts spinning it around just as he did in the old show, and the original "Monkey Magic" theme song starts playing in the background! :D It is then revealed that the old man is actually Buddha himself, who gives them the Sacred Scrolls (the object of their long quest), and also liberates Gokuu by removing the golden ring from his head, and even remarking, "This thing really hurts, doesn't it?" :cool:
That's gotta be one of the best TV cameos evah! :)

I hope a TF collector appears on one of the episodes.
Well she is married to me lolQuote:

Some years I would check the wiki site for any episodes that were in a location I was going to be in for BotCon... never ended up going to any though.Quote:

Banshee episode 3. That was the craziest fight scene I have ever seen :eek:
