Shoot Em Up

Just one short month ago my new favorite tv network Oxygen started airing my new favorite tv show - "Suburban Shootout" - a hilarious romp through suburban England! I can't even believe how brilliant the show is. Now Oxygen for some insane reason has decided not to repeat the 8 episodes they recently aired. First, they moved the time on me from 9 pm to 11 pm and then decided to air double episodes instead of repeating the ones from the week before! Ugh! It got to me as I missed two of the 8 and I just know that is 49 minutes of bliss, I may never see.

For anyone who hasn't seen the show, it is great. Lovely Joyce Hazeldine moves into the small quiet suburb of Little Stempington because her hottie hubby Jeremy is the new police chief. Not even has Joyce unpacked before not one but two different housewives show up to give her a bundle of "Welcome to the Neighborhood." While the two women run upstairs, Jeremy declares the towns ladies are so lovely. Meanwhile, upstairs Pam is getting the shit kicked out of her by her rival, it seems there is a turf war in Little Stempington and it's between Camilla Diamond and Barbara Du Prez. Camilla owns most of the turf and used to own the old police cheif and she can't wait to get her hands on the new one - so she must first make pals with Joyce. How does she do that? Well, easy, Camilla and her gang take Joyce over to the Wicker Barn, Camilla hands over a black box with a red button politely asks Joyce to press it and BAM! the Wicker Barn is history and Joyce is the one and only suspect in that nasty "Little Wicker Barn thing back there." From there it just goes up and up with Joyce conned into selling extra strength estrogen patches for Camilla and having a French drug dealer fall into lust with her. Yes, the quiet suburbs haven't been this fun since Valene Ewing moved to Knots Landing... or I guess there is that other little show on ABC.
