England.

Or London.

Looks like WTTW is starting to air the BBC version now.

Discovered the first episode airing at 10 tonight when Al Michaels began reminiscing about Dennis Miller quips from MNF.

Whoa, whoa.  You guys liked this ending?  In my opinion, that ending was the biggest "Fuck you" to the viewer since Dallas' dream season.  The whole damn show was about two things: (1) whether 2008 or 1973 was reality, and (2) whether Sam was going to choose to live his new life in 1973 or return to his old life in 2008.  That ending basically said, "Joke's on you!  NEITHER 'reality' was real."  It then proceeded to completely take Sam's choice out of his hands.  Yes, he said he wanted to stay in 1973 on the phone, but that wasn't even an option.  I think that ending was an insult.

I loved the BBC ending.  I thought this one was an absolute joke, and completely threw out the entire point of the series in exchange for a "bet you didn't think of THIS" moment.

SPOILERS:







Sam basically abandons his 1973 gang in the middle of a gunfight to return to 2004.  When he gets there, there's a great scene where he's at a meeting and doesn't realize that he's stabbing himself in the finger with a pen, to the point of making himself bleed.  When he sees this, it reminds him of a time in 1973 when Annie slapped him and said, "Can you feel that?  Then, it's real."  He goes to the roof of the precinct and throws himself off.  He wakes up back in 1973, and helps the gang out of the jam they were in.  Presumably, he spends the rest of his time in 1973, while back in a coma or dying in 2004.  It was a terrific ending, in my opinion.

I remember this series and watching it to the end. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime, but it seems like literally no one else remembers it?

The British serve toasted bread cold.  They actually have a device called a "toast cooler".  We stayed at a bed and breakfast and asked them to tell us what that device was.  They thought that we were very strange because we preferred out toast hot, or at least warm.

This is bollocks. It's called a toast rack, and it's for keeping your toast crispy. If you stack hot toast, the steam makes the lower slices go soggy.
