 Jackass (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jackass was a half-hour television series, originally shown on MTV from 2000 to 2002 in which a group of men perform various dangerous and ridiculous stunts.
Included in the series' original run was a special "promotional video countdown" special that showed Knoxville tormenting a young intern that worked on the show, and an hour long special taped in April 2001, which featured Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius, and Steve-O participating in the Gumball 3000, a rally from Britain to Russia and back.
Episodes 26 and 27 brought back the Jackass Crew for screenings and a making of the feature film, Jackass: The Movie, in 2002, which was essentially an extended, uncensored episode of the TV show designed to give the show a totally uncensored send-off.

TV shows sometimes generate TV movies as spinoffs, or a TV movie is used as a "pilot" to sell a new series -- sometimes unsuccessfully.
It was obviously spliced together from episodes of the TV series, and there were many areas of mediocrity in the effort.

 News
The British Film Institute recently published their Top 100 British TV Shows of all time, in which Cracker came in at 39th place, respectable when you consider the list featured all genres of TV and from the list it appeared to be the highest placed crime series.
ITV screened the countdown of it's Top 50 TV shows on Saturday 10th September 2005 (results based on votes by the public), in which Cracker came 12th - a little disappointing given some of the dubious entries that made the final top 10 - but respectable all the same.
ITV, the channel on which Cracker was originally aired back in 1993 in the UK, celebrates it's 50th anniversary this year with a countdown of it's '50 Greatest Shows' and Cracker is, quite rightfully, one of the shows nominated.

 TV premiere of 'Boondocks' puts race in our faces. But can we handle it?
"Boondocks" has heart (helped immeasurably in the Cartoon Network series by Regina King voicing both brothers), and it has something to say about family, brotherly love and overcoming the inanities of everyday life.
That's a sentiment that can easily be amended, given the current TV culture, by taking "white" out of the equation.

 Star Trek: Enterprise
The episodes " Twilight ", " Proving Ground ", were well-received by fans, and the arc formed by the last seven episodes of the third season--" Azati Prime ", " Damage ", "The Forgotten," "E2," " The Council ", "Countdown" and "Zero Hour" in particular have received praise.
Aside from complaints from some fans that such nudity was inappropriate for Star Trek, the episode was also scheduled to air not long after the Super Bowl XXXVIII controversy in which Janet Jackson "accidentally" exposed a breast on live TV, leading to a upswing in censorship in America.
The general theme of the season appears to be a focus on the prequel concept of the series, with many episodes referencing themes, concepts and characters from past Trek series.
