I've loved everything Working Dog have done - from D-Generation through to their movies and Fishing Series and of course The Panel. I also love the old, "Yes, Minister" series. So I would have thought that I'd have taken to this new series.. yet I don't. I find I almost have to make myself watch it. I've got recordings from every show but know I've not watched at least one of them and I'm not jumping onto the PVR to watch it asap. I'll get around to it sometime, but I don't "hang out" for it in the same way as I do from Top Gear (the latest series 11 just finished in the UK. Will be another year before it comes to Aus). I get laughs from each Hollowmen show, but.. following something from the Gruen Transfer, which I found new and informative and enteraining, I find Hollowmen a little too dry. I hope it does well but I'm surprised myself I just can't get "into" it. Hollowmen is a bit odd for me.
