Is it on PBS?<BR/><BR/>heh...ipanema, you do have a point, but I think I wouldn't mind watching something like that and laughing about it :-)<BR/><BR/>yhac, veo....all of a sudden I'm hearing a lot about Intuition. I just read a (rather good) review of the book on <I>Molecular Interventions</I>, and two other people told me about it. I might actually go and read it now. There was an older book, "The search for the oncogene" (mostly about Bob Weinberg's and Mike Wigler's labs searching for ras, I think) that wasn't too bad. Not sure about Kal Penn on House though :-)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous...actually I haven't even heard of regenesis.....is it good?<BR/><BR/>Witnwisdumb....I'll take The office and Scrubs to American Idol any day (though I do like Idol).<BR/><BR/>Thanu....I don't like the CSI shows. Rather terrible really, and I don't think ANY lab is like those.<BR/><BR/>Charu....no Mr. India analogies...that's no good. Any way, that was an example of a rather bad stereotyping of a nerdy scientist :-). As far as Jeeves goes....I actually never thought Jeeves was very old. The books give me the impression of someone in his thirties, quite capable of enjoying the good life when it came to it.Sunilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776658071546232685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212356.post-49056098052640581432007-07-27T20:06:00.000-07:002007-07-27T20:06:00.000-07:00good fun! yeah, one of them "invents" a pair of su...good fun! yeah, one of them "invents" a pair of sunglasses that makes the wearer invisible and dies and his son, the hero retrieves it from the baddie, saves the world etc etc. <BR/><BR/>as an aside, I just bought the Jeeves and Wooster series - I found Fry too young to play Jeeves - I have always pictured Jeeves as old - I don't know why - anyone else feels this way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212356.post-38632937692099179922007-07-27T12:36:00.000-07:002007-07-27T12:36:00.000-07:00All CSI shows, show the lab and how things are don...All CSI shows, show the lab and how things are done, but that is not the main story lineThanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384963844160030808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212356.post-5695172907110150582007-07-27T10:55:00.000-07:002007-07-27T10:55:00.000-07:00NBC?
