    Could be my new favourite TV show and i'm only 4 minutes into the pilot.. how could i possibly think being only 4 minutes into the show?

    Two words, people....

    .. EDDIE IZZARD!

    America has finally wisened up and given the man the lead role in a comedy-drama on FX (meaning it'll be some top-class adult orientated drama with "de swearing and da boobies", and will be Izzard let loose).

    Also stars the occasionally tolerable (though mostly irritating) Minnie Driver. Synopsis is as follows:
    The Riches centers around a traveling family of con artists. After completing a 2-year stint in prison, a married couple (played by Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver) are now dealing with a drug addiction and begin to question their marginal lifestyle. Along with their three children, they assume the identities of a normal, higher-income bracket family. The Riches is produced by FOX...

    I watched the first episode of this last night. Its very good.. funny and sad and doesnt Eddie Izzard look like an older version of Jack Bauer in it??

    I never knew that there are groups of travellers in America... You learn something new every day.

    This is going to be one of those rare occasions that I disagree with Brian, but I didn't really like this show at all (I watch the first 2 episodes, and wasn't exactly blown away). I'm an Izzard fan too...
