A Devil of a show (wince)

I've only seen G vs E on SciFi Channel (UK), and they only have about ten episodes to cycle through, but I haven't laughed so hard since I stumbled over MST3K in '97 (also ten eps cycling, sadly). Horror/SciFi spoof of cheap 70's cop shows, ripping off any number of film and TV forms to perfection (the Rear Window ep is beautiful), it's a tragedy that genuinely original programming goes unwatched, and falls by the wayside. If any series deserves to become immortalised on DVD, this is the one.
