All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny moves in next door.

However Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities... including love. Season 2The science of funny is back! At work physicists Leonard and Sheldon and their geek pals conquer the cosmos. At home real life from dating to driving conquers them. This season Leonard gets a girl. So does Sheldon. (Sheldon?!)

And super-smart überconfident Leslie Winkle reduces mere men to spineless jellyfish. Twenty-three laugh-filled episodes from series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (Dharma & Greg) and a talented cast with astronomical comedy I.Q.s show why Big Bang is such a big hit. Season 3Worlds collide in Season 3! A love affair with Penny has opened a big wide wonderful world of romance for Leonard. But Sheldon likes the world just the way it was thank you. All of which makes for a zany comic triangle with brainy clueless Sheldon and practical grounded Penny hilariously vying for the role of hypotenuse. This complete 3-Disc 23-Episode Season 3 Set also features Raj Howard tattoos football awkward dates jail time Stan Lee a The Lord of the Rings ring and all the fun of a series that only gets better. The Big Bang Theory has transformed from a cute comedy about eggheads and their hottie neighbor into an addictive ensemble piece that could be this decade's answer to Friends (Lynette Rice Entertainment Weekly). Season 4This season the Big Bang gang's romantic universe expands. On the rebound from Penny Leonard falls into the arms of Raj's sister Priya. Sheldon gets a girlfriend or rather a friend who is a girl: Amy a dour neurobiologist who declares herself besties with Penny. Howard and Bernadette heat up. And so do Raj and Bernadette (at least in Raj's Bollywood daydream). All in the furtherance of award-winning genius comedy. Season 5Regarding the opposite sex they're on a steep learning curve. In every other sense they're geniuses. Join physicists Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) as they ponder black holes chemical deviations girls and other mysteries of the universe in all 24 phenomenally funny episodes of Season Five. With Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard's relationship in uncharted terrain Sheldon Howard (Simon Helberg) and Raj (Kunal Nayyar) discover that the feminine mystique is something that cannot be easily graphed or calculated. As they muddle through relationship bugs and romance re-launches they also discover it's nothing a good roll of the D and D dice or a paintball tournament can't solve. Season 6Whether on or above Earth hilarity is outrageously universal in TV's most popular comedy featuring four forward-thinking but socially backward geniuses. Fun discoveries multiply: Leonard learns jealousy is bad for a relationship (with Penny) but science is good for seduction (of Penny). Howard finds life in the International Space Station life is no escape from terrestrial turmoil between his mom and his new wife Bernadette. Raj meets someone special who may be a good match if he can keep her from fleeing mid-date. And then there's Sheldon. He learns what not to say after facing harassment charges or competing for tenure at work and how Dungeons and Dragons can be the icebreaker his relationship with Amy needs. For those who need laughter with scientific regularity this 24-episode Season Six set of The Big Bang Theory will rock your cosmos.
Rowan Atkinson's irredeemably wicked Edmund Blackadder has moved forward in time from the court of Queen Elizabeth but a little down the social ladder. He's now butler to Hugh Laurie's congenitally stupid Prince Regent on the cusp of the 18th and 19th centuries, and if that wasn't bad enough he's still accompanied by Tony Robinson's dim-witted Baldrick, whose cunning plans never fail to make an impossible situation worse. Blackadder's desperate scheming and utter contempt for all he surveys hasn't changed, nor have the baroque complexities of the situations in which he becomes embroiled: from an anachronistic war of words with Dr Johnson (Robbie Coltrane relishing every syllable) to taking on the Scarlet Pimpernel at his own game, to fighting a duel with a psychopathic Duke of Wellington, Edmund's luck never seems to change. Richard Curtis and Ben Elton's sharp scripts have more fun with the period setting than ever before, as contemporary literary archetypes from Samuel Johnson to Jane Austen are ripe for lampooning. Howard Goodall's theme tune is updated to a glorious classical pastiche, while the extravagant costumes of the times hardly need altering to achieve the desired effect. The comedy is so good it seemed this could never be bettered, until Blackadder Goes Forth that is. --Mark Walker

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have spent their lives on the road, battling every kind of supernatural threat.

They even came face to face with Lucifer and the Four Horsemen in averting the Apocalypse. With the help of allies -- both human and supernatural -- they've discovered that every threat they vanquish opens a new door for evil to enter through.

With the help of their protectors -- the fallen angel Castiel (Misha Collins) and devil-you-know Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) -- Sam and Dean's lifelong quest to set the world right will take everything they've got ... and a bit more. And now, when the unthinkable happens to Dean, the Winchesters must find a way to make things right before their world explodes.
Season 1 review: The US TV schedules have never been shy of legal thrillers, and at first glance, The Good Wife is the kind of show that might easily blend into the crowd. And yet is has some key assets in its corner that lift it into something altogether more interesting. The key asset to The Good Wife is Julianna Marguiles in the lead role of Alicia Florrick. Not long after we meet her, we discover that her life has been blown apart by the actions of her husband. Thus, in the middle of her life, she has to restart her career as a junior at a law firm, where she finds herself competing against the younger, fresher graduates. Its an interesting dynamic, and one thats strengthened enormously by some terrific writing and thoughtful cases. For its the storytelling thats the other main strength of The Good Wife, and thats likely to keep you gripped right the way through this maiden season. Granted, theres a feeling that it often covers ground that many shows have got to before. Yet The Good Wife puts a strong enough spin on the formula to emerge as a quality TV show in its own right. --Jon Foster

Directed by Bafta award winner Pete Travis. One of the most influential British novels of the 20th Century, THE GO-BETWEEN is a story of forbidden love, Edwardian strictures, betrayal and tragic naivety. Told from the perspective of Leo Colston, a callow twelve year old middle class boy, the story starts when he is invited by upper class school friend Marcus Maudsley to stay at his elegant family home for the blazing hot summer of 1900. Leo is instantly enthralled by Marcus's family and most especially his beautiful and wilful older sister Marian. When Marcus is taken ill, Leo is left to his own devices, but finds himself alone and adrift in a world of alien social mores and adult concerns. Gauche and anxious to please, Leo is slowly and unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit as Marian pursues an illicit and passionate affair with tenant farmer Ted Burgess, a man of much inferior social position whom she can never marry. Marian and Ted befriend the lonely and easily influenced Leo and use him to carry secret messages between them. Leo quickly grows friendly with Ted and worships Marian with a mixture of innocent love and incipient sexuality he barely understands. Only when he meets Hugh Trimingham, the kind, but war wounded aristocrat to whom Marian is promised, does Leo start to question his role as intermediary. As Leo s thirteenth birthday approaches, Marian s moods fluctuate and the summer heat becomes more oppressive. Wholly unable to comprehend the true implications of the adult emotions seething around him, Leo sets in motion a chain of events that ultimately prove the catalyst for a shocking tragedy that will haunt him forever.
