                 going to remake Spaced w/o consulting Pegg/Stevenson.
        \_ I usually find it very entertaining and I tend to hate TV. Some
           episodes do miss the mark. I hated "Office Space", though.

        \_ How long have you watched it?  It's in the 5th season now.  I think
           it started kind of weakly, got pretty good for a few seasons, and
           now it's mostly played out and the jokes feel rehashed.  The
           characters are getting to be one-dimensional clowns.

           Fortunately, most combo locks are not very secure so bruce
           force works quite well. Most padlocks can be broken by punching
