Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe (Again!)

It’s not often I actu­ally laugh out loud while watch­ing some­thing on TV, but these last few days I’ve been re-watching Char­lie Brooker’s Screen­wipe on YouTube and have been laugh­ing constantly.

Its sar­cas­tic look at TV and Char­lie Brooker’s cus­tom­ary cut­ting remarks and com­men­tary keeps this show as one of the best I’ve seen. If you get a chance, check it out:

• Series two playlist
  
• Series three playlist
  
• Series four playlist
  

Series five is due to air in the UK in Novem­ber, but if you can’t wait that long Brooker’s Guardian col­umn, Screen Burn, is similar.

Pro­grammes that I’ve been intro­duced to and have fallen in love with over the years thanks to Screen­wipe: The Wire, Dead­wood, Arrested Devel­op­ment, The World at War, The Ascent of Man and Civil­i­sa­tion: A Per­sonal View.

Other shows Brooker lauds: The Shield, 15 Storeys High, , Mr. Show, Columbo, Monk, Police Squad!, Sledge Ham­mer!, Futu­rama, La Linea, Tex Avery’s œuvre, Samu­rai Jack, Bat­tlestar Galac­tica (2003+), and the com­puter game LocoRoco.
