I came across a cool looking TV show on G4TV, and it's fashioned in the classic style of 8 bit graphics. Entitled Code Monkeys, I think anybody who owned one of these books or similar as a kid, will appreciate this for at least 5 minutes.
It's not for the faint hearted or easily offended though. Personally, I'm hooked and I can't get enough. Have a look at the previews.
