Check Out Slings and Arrows

So I'm not sure what moved the New York Times to cover the brilliance that is Slings and Arrows in the Arts & Leisure section this week http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/07/arts/television/07stew.html?scp=1&sq=slings%20and%20arrows&st=cse since the complete 3 seasons came out on DVD back in February. However, any time is the right time to encourage people to seek out this funny Canadian show so I will play my part to encourage as well.

Here's the trailer for Season 1 AKA the Hamlet season. Starting at the beginning is always the very best place to start and the show is consistently great but I do have to put in a plug that my favorite season is actually the rip roaring insanity of Season 2 AKA the Macbeth season (Season 3 is the King Lear season). Get a taste and please please seek it out:



BTW, in keep with my post below, my parents own the entire show on DVD and do indeed lend it out to spread the joy.
