Possums, do you remember when T.V. excited you?

When T.V left you hot and bothered?

No, I’m not talking about porn!

Possums, Mama Lucresia has got herself a new hobby taking up her Wednesday nights! And it is glorious! The show is called, “Misfits.”

This following clip truly made me fall all over myself!

Misfits is a British science fiction comedy-drama television series about a group of young offenders named Nathan, Kelly, Simon, Alisha and Curtis who are doing community service. After a freak electrical thunderstorm, they discover that they have obtained supernatural powers. Bestowed with strange powers, they each realize that they have a lot more to worry about than just picking up litter, especially as they discover that they are not the only ones who have been given strange powers. One by one their secret powers are revealed, feelings brought to the surface and relationships formed and broken.

Now wasn’t that a mouthful?

And so is the guy who plays Nathan-Robert Sheehan! Jigga is FIINNNE!

Oy, to be twenty-three again!

Yes, I say “oy” now!

I guess I’ve been watching the show too much!

This show is not only very well-cast, but the writing, direction and production design are amazing! It just reminds you how much North American networks still get it wrong!

Look what they did to “SKINS”!

It was sacrilegious!

Ava will never be the same!

Mind you, she didn’t watch one episode of MTV’s version cause she knew they would ruin it.

And she was right.

They did!

Possums, I remember as a young girl watching Benny Hill reruns with my father. You would be upstairs and hear my father giggling like a little girl. Mind you, my father’s voice wasn’t deep like Barry White’s, but still we knew when the man was happy! With all that slapstick humour and nakedness running around my father always said that British humour was the best humour in the world! That and maybe the humour of David Letterman.

Ava told me that she hopes that American televison doesn’t take Misfits and turn them into their own watered-down version.

I told her, “Too late dear. They already did. It’s called ‘Heroes’!”

The only sad part is Robert Sheehan (Nathan) has decided to leave the show!

Do you know what I say?

Hand the Jigga a million quid on a silver platter and make him stay!

Yes, I say “quid” now.

I guess I’ve been watching the show too much!

Robert Sheehan is really the heart of the whole thing! Although, Iwan Rheon who plays Simon, is a close second, cause Jigga’s body is hot!

I hear that they are already taping season 3.

I guess I will just have to fall back on old clips of Nathan.

The Best of Nathan: (Spoiler Alert!)
