jesus_thats_gre

Hi Lads,

Have watched the following:

- 24
- Soproanos
- Prison Break
- The Wire
- House
- Dexter
- Heroes
- Lost
- Battlestar Gallactica
- Arrested Development
- South Park
- Rome
- Band of Brothers

I enjoyed them all immensely so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Rescue Me.

The best show on tv. Season4 on atm.

Police Squad!

Firefly.

Traveler is a new show currently airing that seems to be a lot like Prison Break - I'm enjoying it.

Jericho is a great show too. They've done one season, then there was a pretty big controversy when they cancelled it, and after a long campaign a second season has now been confirmed.

Burn notice looks good. CIA guy gets blacklisted, no money, credit cards etc. He goes to find out whos responsible with some help from an ex-ira spy.

Smith was good too (Ray Liota)
Daybreak was another. Both mini series only 8 or so episodes.

philstar

how about watching......nothing, and go outside for a walk instead, get some exercise and fresh air

watching too much tv......is unhealthy

Rescue Me and HUSTLE!

Rescue Me, Deadwood, Carnivale/

Why is there always someone? Those shows have been watched over about 3 years, generally for an hour or two before I go to sleep in bed or if I am at a loose end.

As for going out for a walk, I go for two 1 hour walks, play 1 hour of 5 a side and have 2 gym sessions a week.

Cheers for the feedback lads. Keep em coming

Family Guy? American Dad?

I thought american dad was rubbish, how did that come from the makers of family guy!

Dman001

I like it. It is different. I didn't like Family Guy but now I am starting to like it.

Placebo

man you will love entourage, its best for before bed cause its very layed back and funny at times and quite enjoyable. Once u get to know ur characters after 1-2 episodes its addictive. watched 3 seasons in a week :mad:

cosgrove80

Freaks and Geeks
Undeclared (thought I'd add them before Basquille did )
Entourage
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Office U.S. Version
The West Wing (rentable in Xtravision)
Veronica Mars (series one anyway)
Monk
Six Feet Under

and I haven't seen them but Deadwood, The Shield and Sleeper Cell are supposed to be good.

Due South and My So-called Life are good if you want to go old school too

Thrill

Monk
The Law and order series as well if you've never seen them.
Jerico.

There's a new show called The psyc or something like that starting soon on Hallmark. Saw the ad for it yesterday. It looks like it could be good.

Donkeys hot tips:
- Trailerpark Boys
- Carnivale
- Twin Peaks

100% awesomeness.

Windfall was good, shame it didn't get a 2nd season.

ugh, would that be the girlfriend? With the worst fake irish accent I've heard on screen in a long while... :eek:

I won't be able to watch it if she features much.

sweetie

Oz (from the makers of the Wire and using lots of the same actors) and the
Shield are both great. As for comedy try it's always sunny in philadelphia and
classic seinfeld which is cheap on dvd.

Creamy Goodness

i can't really suggest anything that hasn't been suggested already but...

trailer park boys.
oz.
spaced.
big train.

Seeing as the OP likes Arrested Development he should like these too (at least I do and Arrested Development was my favourite comedy ever)

too much telly = wasted life

philstar banned for trolling. PM me in a week if you wish to return.

I enjoyed them all immensely so any recommendations would be appreciated.

If you feel like laughing very loudly:

Peep show
Black Books
The Mighty Boosh
Darkplace

Esp teh last one.

Mezcita

Yeah go for peep show. Brilliant.

Timans

Grey's Anatomy.

Best TV Programme. EVER.

LizardKing

Life on Mars
Man Stroke Woman

Vokes

Have to add my vote to those for The Office (US).

Very, very funny show, OP

Season 1 is goin cheap in HMV

Mick1973

Carnivale is fantastic - a slow burner, but excellent.
Also Deadwood - Shakespearean dialogue - utterly amazing.

Oh - Arrested Development - best comedy ever.

Caked Karen

CSI: Crime Scene Invesigation - thats the vegas one!!! the best!!!
The Office US version

Greys Anatomy is easy watchin - i love it!

If you're looking for a plethora of episodes to watch, go with Oz. I just finished watching all 6 seasons. Very good

Placebo

traveler - i checked u tube and watched promo trailer and it ruined it !?? or is it like prison break where u know hes gonna go in prison to rescue bro . Like u know the story ?

CSI -1

Detest CSI, it's just dull, lazy writing, badly paced, hammy acting.


Which reminds me, OP, you should watch Criminal Minds, it's how CSI would be if it were good, and not sh1t.


Criminal minds is a very good show.

Also Standoff (season 1) is decent.

tabatha

i agree about criminal minds, great show. i also love bones, has a bit of comedy which is always good. but i must say that i love csi. i really like all of them but the las vegas one is by far the best.

Nah, couldn't be arsed.

jesus_thats_gre

CSI depresses me to be honest, find it absolutely appalling.

Gonna go with Rescue me first of all I think. Seems to be alot of good things written about it.

To whoever suggested Arrested Development, I have seen it already but would agree that it is genius.

Thanks for the suggestions lads. Appreciate it.

kaimera

Excellent choice

Dexter, just "obtained" the first series from the states and its very very good (in a sick sort of way)

mcowhey

Boston legal is a really good show and greys anatomy is a another one i'd recommend

penguinbloke

Oz,
daybreak,
Spaced,
and Firefly,

All great, all different and finish it off by watching Serenity...

sadly half of the shows were shot down before they're time...

Weeds, Weeds & more Weeds.
Seriously, it's one of the best shows on American TV, right now, yet nobody on this side of the pond has even heard about it, which is a huge shame.

Killaqueen!!!

If you've gone through that many shows and still need more, you need to get out more.

Shanotheslayer

The O.C
The shield
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes

Pepe LeFrits

Watch Battlestar Galactica again. Works for me!

Jesus christ..There are about 50 things rushing into my mind at the moment but considering you are incapable of reading a thread, I will save myself the bother and give it to you again:

Why is there always someone? Those shows have been watched over about 3 years, generally for an hour or two before I go to sleep in bed or if I am at a loose end.

Why do retards exist that insist on commenting on ****ing everything without actually knowing someones situation.

Because they need to get out more.

I doubt that seeing as it's been on Sky One for the last couple of years.

'Rescue Me' is an excellent choice - the first that came to my mind as well.

I'd also throw in 'House' - no doctor will ever best him. Other ones worth considering:

• American Dad (much better than Family Guy by its second season)
• Boston Legal (even if its just to hear Shatner go "Danny Crane")
• Homicide: Life on the Street (you said you've watched 'The Wire' - this is what David Simon, the creator, worked on before)
• The Corner (six part mini series from the mind of David Simon about drug addiction in blighted Baltimore)
• The Larry Sanders Show (behind-the-scenes of a show that's good in the way that 'Studio 60..' wasn't)
• Medium (great take on solving cases with a good element of family life)
• Popular (a high-school drama that redefines camp brilliance)
• West Wing (based on one season, an excellently written and acted drama)

Year. Singular. They've only ever showed season 1, a year later than it was screened in the US and with little to no advertising. I, for one, don't know anyone else that's even heard of it. I try to pimp it out to as many friends as I can, though. Season 3 is starting on Showtime in about 3 weeks and Sky don't seem all that interested in airing season 2. Bastards.
