I've never seen The League of Gentleman, but I've heard it's good.

I can't believe how good the show is - Really delightfully twisted. I'm bummed that I've gone through all 6 episodes that they have On Demand - I'll have to see if FEARnet is showing anymore during the week.

I should probably make sure you both know I wasnt refering to the 1960s film, even though it is a great movie.... The League of Gentleman was a TV series that ran from 1999-2002 over here and starred the two main guys from Psychoville. If you got what I was talking about first time round then just ignore me. :o

Oh and just to confuse things a little more... The League of Gentlemen released a film just before starting work on Psychoville which is also worth checking out.

I was referring to the show too - Haven't seen the 1960s movie. :D

Hey - Is Psychoville big over yonder?

I'd say its about as big as something so off the wall could be. The second series finished earlier this year and I dont think it has had as much mainstream success or interest as The League of Gentlemen had but it definatley has a strong cult following. I'm a big fan of both though, too dark and too surreal not to love. :cool:

They have a little "behind the scenes" interview with them on Fearnet- really just a sound bite at under 2 minutes, and they claim they didn't do any parodies, but hell if that's not a parody of Rope in one episode, and The Omen in another.

So I'm kinda bummed - The FEARnet "On Demand" only has the first 6 episodes, though when I look at the FEARnet website, they're showing the others every Tuesday night...

That's all well and good if I actually GOT FEARnet, but my FEARnet channel only redirects me to the On Demand menu.

:(

Boo. I want to see the rest of them.

I wasn't aware that Fearnet was anything BUT an On Demand service.

There's a new episode available On Demand, but it's the first episode of the 2nd series. I guess we don't get the last 3 episodes of the first series.

I knooooooooooooooooooooooow - I refuse to watch it. I think that I'm going to see if we can see the others on Hulu.

And, yes, apparently FEARnet is an actual channel - I visited their website and they have a schedule and everything.


Update: Damn. Looks like Hulu only has clips and not whole episodes. :(

Not sure exactly what you guys have seen or havent, but there's a one hour halloween special that went out between the first and second series. It's up on youtube, all the parts seem to be there and the quality seems decent. The same person seems to have uploaded alot of the episodes from both series as well, but i havent gone through 'em to check if everything is there and as it should be.



They had all the episodes on the bbc website too, but they've all been pulled. There's still a ton of cool videos and teasers/ trailers but no actual episodes.
