Attention Pop Culture Addicts

Spaced, all two seasons, is available for your viewing pleasure on hulu.com. WATCH IT NOW!

Need Convincing? Well....

• If you watched Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz and your cheeks hurt afterward from laughing so much, you must watch Spaced.
• If you watched the new Star Trek movie and thought the guy playing Scotty was hilarious, you must watch Spaced.
• If you were a slacker in the late 90s who procrastinated from work and study by obsessing over the minutia of pop cultue, you must watch Spaced.
• If you like funny, you must watch Spaced.

Spaced is the story of Tim and Daisy, recent friends who in order to move into an available and affordable "flat," hold themselves out as a romantic couple, which they are not.....but that's not the point of the show at all. Really it's about late 90s slackers and their wacky friends, downstairs neighbor, and upstairs landlady. If you have seen Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, then you will notice where the humor, editing, cast and general ideas came for those films. Episode three has Simon Pegg blasting zombies, and in the second season there is an excellent exhibition of slo-mo action fighting. The show also has fun toying with the audience's expectation that Tim and Daisy will end up together.

After the jump, I've posted my favorite clips. Take a look.


Favorite Spaced Clips:

The Magnificent Seven Moment
I love the theme music to The Magnificent Seven, an excellent movie that the men in my home forced me to watch many times while growing up. (And yes, I know all about Seven Samurai. I like The Magnificent Seven better because of Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn and the music. Deal.) And I alternately laugh out loud and cheer when the music comes on as downstairs neighbor Brian saves the day.


Slo-mo Action Fighting
The clips speak for themselves.




Step Into My TARDIS
I love Doctor Who and think it would be the most fantastic thing if my boss needed to ream me out and called me into his TARDIS to do so.


Mike Sees Dead People
My favorite send-up of The Sixth Sense, especially since it uses actress Oliva Williams from the movie.
