So I'd heard a little bit about this TV sitcom "Episodes" when it premiered awhile ago, mainly that Matt LeBlanc (Joey from Friends) was starring in it as a fictitious version of himself. Anyway I didn't really think much of it at the time and thus didn't watch it. However I was browsing the Rip It Up website the other day and came across a post that they had done on Episodes talking it up. So I thought why not give it a chance and let me tell you, I was very pleasantly surprised. The show is quite hilarious indeed, LeBlanc included. It centres on a British husband and wife writing team (Steven Mangan and Tamsin Grieg who you might remember played "Fran" in cult British comedy Black Books) who are wooed by a big Hollywood network executive to travel to the US to recreate their award winning TV series for American audiences. I'm only up to episode 4 (there's 7 in the season) but I'm quite enjoying it. Sure it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and the humour is quite dry but I recommend you all give it a chance. Season 1 is available on DVD now (or you can grab it from the usual Bit Torrent sources). Check out the Episodes trailer and DVD purchase details after the jump. Also shout out to Ryan at Rip It Up for convincing me to give the show a chance with his article.
