The Dresden Files
Now this is a show I am really enjoying. I love the narration, and the fact that Harry is somewhat "smarmy". He has friends with benefits. He uses a drumstick and a hockey stick as wands.
He has a ghost for a roommate. Cool show.

Re: The Dresden Files
TeamBoone said this one was right up my alley. I didn't want to start watching it mid-season. I need a marathon day.

Re: The Dresden Files
It's been great so far. A few returning characters with some decent acting.
His ghost roommate lives in his skull which sits on a table. His name is Bob. I don't know why, but that cracks me up.

Re: The Dresden Files
I absolutely LOVE this show!
It cracks me up that he's a wizard and that his first name is Harry, though in this week's episode Harry says his parents named him after Houdini. Maybe "they" did, but I think the network executives liked the tie-in with Potter.

Re: The Dresden Files
In the 90's I think for Harry Potter. Maybe 1998 or 1999? I think my oldest was reading them then.

Re: The Dresden Files
Now that I think about it, I knew this series was based on a book(s). Didn't give that a thought.
Regardless, it still cracks me up.

Re: The Dresden Files
The SciFi is on the fence right now about whether to order a second season or not. Here's a link to a petition. May not help much, but prolly won't hurt any either.

Re: The Dresden Files
Gah! that was the best show they ran this past season. It was better than BSG, and all of the Stargate crap.
