Sleepy Hollow
I don't care that the show is insane or that the 'history' is cray-cray. Ichabod and Abbie are adorable.
I LOL'd over a tweet I read last night re: Sleepy Hollow complaining about Abbie not remembering the Roanoke colony becase (as per tweet) "That was the only interesting thing in early American history!" Perhaps an exaggeration, but, yeah, the "lost colony" is one of those things that intrigue kiddies in school.
Speaking of school, I wonder why Oxford is covering for Ichabod. It's not a Connie Willis novel, so I don't think that Oxford has the time travelling history department yet. ;) I amused myself with what was being left out of that call:
Oxford: We have an Ichabod Crane on recordin 1769. But he's on leave since 1769, and is in New York since 1769!
(Or therebouts. I figured he needed a few years early in order to meet Jefferson and Adams (Unless he was in France. Can't wait for that whacked 'flashback!'). And I must say, I tend to think Ichabod had it backwards. Easier to believe that it was Adams who liked puns and Jefferson who liked inappropriate limericks. Everyone pretty much agreed that Adams was a tightly wound stick in the mud... The 'history' be cray-cray. Hee!)

But Ichabod and Abbie ARE adorable.

With regards to Oxford, I just assumed that the strange Illuminati-type Conspiracy Group that arranged for Ichabod to time travel probably extended to Oxford.
As a complete aside, I noticed last night that Ichabod and Abbey have the exact same hair style. I wonder if that means anything or if the set stylist is simply uncreative.

Ah, but perhaps that coven that's keeping watch in NY is also keeping watch in Oxford...
And I'm still getting a kick out his fumbling around with modern technology - loofahs, scotch tape, plastic.
Now we have to wait until November for the next episode although it's jam packed with goodness - James Frain, John Noble, John Cho, our Headless Friend, and Jenny.

::pats Ichy on the head:: We've all felt that at some point when trying to open a package.
Also the "spackle" scene.
"By all means... spackle."
Abbie: You know, it's okay to admit sometimes that you don't know a what a word means.
(And he was so proud of himself for recognizing "John Doe". :)

And btw, who's paying for all his stuff - Abbie or is he on some sort of retainer from Captain Irving.

And then Ichabod and Abbie were so adorable that I just took more Handwavium and enjoyed them.
