Entering the home stretch on TOWER PREP.

Tonight is a double-bill of Tower Prep episodes, with "Phone Home" at eight and "Trust" at nine. I'm trying very, very hard to convince myself that the doubling up is because Cartoon Network wants to finish the season before the end of the year, not because the ratings have been bad and they're burning back episodes to complete their commitment. (And if it's the latter, at least they're letting us see how it ends.)

Tower Prep has been one of the most consistently gratifying, well-constructed shows of 2010; I rank it just after Fringe in my current personal rankings. The plots and themes are less mature than they are on Fringe, but the show is also aimed at kids, and bearing that in mind, I just wish we'd had stuff like this when I was thirteen. As it stands, I'm enjoying it plenty right now.

The final two episodes will air next Tuesday, again from eight to ten, and I'd say the odds are good that Cartoon Network will have a marathon somewhere in the middle there. You should catch up, if you get the chance.

It's awesome.

I'll have to keep an eye out for this series. They haven't screened it down here, yet. Why are we always the last to see these things? It does sound like something my wife and I would enjoy.

There are torrents available. I found them using http://torrentz.eu/

No episode 4. Kickass Torrents has Ep4 and Ep6 but only from MADHACKER who apparently puts their logo over everything (Ep6 on torrentz is from the same source). Nothing on eztv. I wonder why no one liked E4...

I noted the lack of eztv torrents myself. And yes, two of the episodes are only available as 240-250 meg lower quality captures. (I'd have to dig thru the drive at a friend's place to find those). But they were watchable.
