Prime Picks

Other Options

- The Inbetweeners (MTV): New. Simon gets his driver’s license and takes the guys to an amusement park to impress a girl. Runs 30 minutes. Plays again later. Last week’s premiere episode replays earlier tonight. This episode’s plot is right out of the original version, as was last week’s premiere. Which makes me wonder what I’d think of them had I not seen the original. So far am not impressed with this one. Don’t find it funny, but it could be because I’ve already heard the jokes and seen the situatuions.
