If any of you are US based television watchers, you might be interested in the episode of NBC's Thursday night sit-com Community airing tonight, 3rd February, 2011. It's called "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" and the trailer is here.
I think the episodes are usually up on their website for a week after airing as well.
Cheers,
Christopher

| Ah crap missed it. Any idea if it aired in Canada (we get NBC but sometimes TV is misleading). |

If you don't mind watching on your computer, the episode is on the show's website now:
http://www.nbc.com/community/
I thought it was awesome. The set dressers did a great job with the gaming materials, especially the fake module that looked like something straight out of late 1st edition. The drow makeup was also great.
It was also interesting how they played. Nothing on the table but character sheets, only the DM had dice. My wife, who has only played 4E, said "Why don't we play like that, where you have to do all the paperwork and so on and we just get to pretend?"
Cheers,
Christopher

This line made me laugh so hard. This is actually a running gag in my group. I've let my players know that for a mere $50 bribe, they can "get all teh fat lewtz" and "win Dungeons and Dragons, forever".
Unfortunately no one has taken me up on the offer...
