As I am probably one of the oldest people on this list -- I am 33-- I have to
agree with Bartlett. I started watching PG when my local cable company
started showing encore WAM on Sundays because I was a huge Abfab fan and I
was intrigued to find that this young lady, Sawalha, had a good sized resume
behind her. One show and I was hooked.
Personally I find PG to be more intelligently written than a lot of programs
written for adults. It is obvious that Moffat and company put a lot of love
and care into each episode made. I wish more tv was written as well.
