Now I know I recommend a lot of television on Tuesdays (I haven't panned a lot, I don't think), but this series is a MUST see! This is an Australian show on ABC1 (australian channel). It follows the work lives of a government think tank, complete with advisory committee and pollsters!

The PM (prime minister) goes to these guys to get feedback on new initiatives, or to get ideas to get the ball rolling on projects, or to deflect attention when shit hits the fan. Some of the themes are uniquely Australian, such as the cost of maintenance of The Lodge, but other topics are current in American culture, such as taxes, and low recruitment in the armed forces.

This series is just laugh-out-loud-funny - it's what happens when Dilbert meets The Office in the Political Realm in Australia.

My favorite line in the series is You can't call a Crisis a Crisis...unless you have a solution or it's someone else's fault.

You can watch the episodes for free on ABC1's website - here
