Good TV Shows?

So I'm looking for TV shows I can watch when I'm hungover/bored/in bed etc, I've pretty much watched all mine a couple times and need some new ones.

Here's what I've been through of (each season)
House
Scrubs
Grey's Anatomy (lol)
Entourage
Poker After Dark
High Stakes Poker
Family Guy
Californication
Lost
Prison Break
Underbelly

Scrubs, Entourage and Californication were my favourite funny ones and Lost, Prison Break and Underbelly the best non-comedy ones

ATM I'm downloading the Sopranos which I hope to get into but please recommend me some more!

The shield

Dexter is a must

weeds was pretty good for the first two seasons
the shield is amazing too

Check out Black books

oh and the shield is pretty sick too.

Modern Marvels
Extreme Engineering
Extreme Machines
Megastructures
MythBusters
Future Weapons

Might buy a season of the shield tomorrow to see what its like, I forgot about Black Books but yeah I've seen a couple of seasons of that it's classic

Whats the best season of the shield?

You guys are kidding me? ANYTHING on TV with a storyline is so fuckin gay. Superbad acting. Super cheesy story line. Really bad directing and editing. I have not seen a single motion picture on TV that is above 4 of 10. Only bands of brothers gets high but thats a mini series so that doesn't count.

Cap's a hater.


For shows, for a comedy I really liked Arrested Development i thought it was great. For a non comedy, you have to check out the wire, easily the best tv show EVER! Also, I started watching Sopranos a month or two ago, and its pretty tight.

Says the guy trying to get you to watch the History channel....

Dexter is a must btw...

The West Wing seasons 1-4

The only show I watch is the office, and educational shows because im a nerd like that. Anything on the discovery network

You havent watched Heroes? whY?!?!?!?!/

that and dexter = must see

24 too gogogoo

agree

Dexter and The Shield easily. I've heard really good things about Breaking Bad as well.

Southpark is good too btw.

ya all above are rly sick shows. id go w lost first, but thats cuz its my favorite show. ill warn u tho once u begin watching it u will watch it through and through cuz its so addicting. heroes and shield are REALLY good too. the shows cap mentioned are really good if you enjoy history channel and discovery channel, which i do.

dexter
the shield
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS!!!!

Watch Extras, It's what Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant did after The Office. It's slightly less cringy and utterly genius.

The Office (US Version)
Numb3rs
Nip/Tuck

GG field

Cheers just oldschool style
Futurama
Yogi Bear
Everybody loves raymond

Shameless if you like UK shows at all.

heroes fails hard since last season 1 eps :/


BSG :D

24 has been so appallingly bad since season 1 4, 5 and 6 have been unwatchable.

shameless
im alan partridge series 1/2
gavin and stacey

It's not good


It's the Royal Flush of TV shows.

btw I just dled season one of californication and ive seen one episode and its awesome.

The american version of the office is fucking tripe.

but respect to Gervais and Merchant for lining their pockets by spewing a crappy american version for like 5 seasons and letting the UK one remain an unspoiled 2 season + 1 special epic.

The Wire
Rome
Its always sunny in Philadelphia
the 4400
battle star gallactica
the office
nip tuck
weeds
Arrested Development

If you like dry comedy, Ricky Gevais is a genius in the office (UK) and Extras.

Some others mentioned are worth watching too;

Dexter is a must watch

Band of Brothers is pretty much the best war related thing i've ever seen.

One I like that noone has mentioned is How I Met Your Mother. It's not great, but it's good.

Green Wing. It's kind of a British version of scrubs, but tons better (and I'm not saying that cause I dislike scrubs, I actually like it). Agree that Dexter is good. Coupling is decent. Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is decent (albeit extremely immature)

Lotsa breasts in Californication

thats a +

The Royal Family is another classic british comedy.

Weeds is amazing
Dexter is super amazing
24 is great, and there's 6 seasons to boot.
The Office could be the funniest show I have ever seen.
Seinfield is also very funny.
Curb Your Enthusiam is also in the same boat.

another vote for Dexter being the most amazing show ever

alright, im gonna get a couple seasons of dexter, first 2 seasons of 24 and first 2 seasons of the shield today.

forgot to mention but yeah ive seen season 1 of heroes, and because of how bad the last ep of season 1 was i didnt bother with season 2 lol

Deadwood and Carnivale were good too. Pretty much any HBO original series except John from Cincinnati is good.

my Fav:
Entourage, The Office (US), Weeds, Californication, Nip/Tuck

"There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love The Wire and those who haven't seen it. Yet."

SERIOUSLY THE WIRE IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!

Planet Earth
Blue Planet
Heroes
24
Lost
Dexter
Battlestar Galactica
PRICE IS RIGHT

The Shield is a well written story that should be watched from season 1 to 6 since its not your average crappy show wich no sequence (House etc) or randomly written as it advances pushing season after season (lost heroes).

So if you want to watch The Shield definitely watch it all, it improves and the best is the last season but it would suck if you dont watch it from the beginning.

baal, house advances =o its not at the same pace though

def agree about needing to see 1-6 otherwise u just wont understand shit probably

What season is when they blow up the Russian guy ? I think its the end of some season cuz they stopped running it on tv after that and it sucked cuz I was really hooked on it

Dexter
Battlestar Galactica
Supernatural

Fresh Prince
Survivor
Sandford and Son
CSI

friends

Not enough love for Heroes in this thread.
It's such an amazing show, it's insane.

Also the Sopranos is so key.

dexter 100%.

download band of brothers hbo miniseries about world war 2. it is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite tv/movie/etc ever.

Go watch some oldies.

Married with children
The new statesman / Bottom (or anything with Rik Mayall for that matter)

yeah i saw all the bands of brothers, theres a second miniseries coming out too which a friend of mine is starring in =D

How I Met Your Mother

must-watch

I think all the good ones have been named. Here's my list:

Dramas/Action:
1. Dexter-- I think I might even be owed some gratitude for introducing this to quite a few people.
2. House .. so much leveling going on constantly, most clever show on TV.
3. Lost..Don't ever watch it on TV, buy the whole series otherwise it'll drive you nuts with the cliffhangers at the end of every episode
4. 24 (how can you hate Jack Bauer?) -- Same thing as Lost though, you can't watch it on TV, you have to get the entire series.

Comedies:
1. CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM -- THERE IS NOT A SHOW EVER CREATED FUNNIER THAN THIS CRAP!! If you haven't seen it, there's 6 seasons and 10 episodes a season ... go get it, quick.
2. Entourage ... looks like HBO has decided they are going to make it their cornerstone since the Sopranos has completed, meaning we have lots of seasons to look forward to : )
3. The Office..duh

Can't be categorized:
Californication ... This could fit in as a drama, a comedy, a tragedy, dark humor .. i dunno how to describe it but the show is genius, David Duchovny plays such a G in it, looking very forward to season 2.

Weeds .. I used to watch this show w/ my girlfriend, it's gotten pretty lame, however, has grown on me a bit just because I've followed the characters and whatnot for like 2 seasons, plus I used to slang weight -- I'd have to say it's not very realistic in the sense of a show about drug dealing...at least from my experiences. Show that I think is the best representation of suburban drug dealing would have to be ................... i cant even think of one cuz none of them have really nailed it. The movie Alpha Dog came close just because there are so many retarded drug dealers and that movie definitely outlined one. Oh yeah, the movie Layer Cake. Most realistic movie with a background in drug dealing. Nothing else comes close.

LOL I remember in a scene in Dexter where Lila just goes up to some random kid on the street and buys roofies off of him ... there's no way that crap ever happens IRL. GL ever even finding roofies, if I had a lot of money, I would bet agaisnt anyone's ability to find them.

"THE A TEAM"!!!

but its not a "story" its just a series of episodes, kinda like CSI.. it advances to give some sense of continuity however it doesnt have any but a very weak story besides the episodes, which are actually decent at first then they get awfully repetitive, again kinda like CSI it started strong and interesting, then it got repetitive to finally evolve into retarded where they found a micro fiber 35km away that only shoes made in an italian island have... and all that shit to figure out the death one 1 random hobo... house evolved into that quite fast too.

The Shield is definitely above that kind of tv show.

Also;

Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles

Quite amusing.

LEAUGE OF GENTLEMENT!! Very good english comedy much better than little britain or any of that.

P.S here is a sample.

you guys forgot the most important one.


Family Guys.

I will second Flight of the Conchords. Also watch every episode you can get your hands on of The Ofiice (US). Family Guy, Chapelle Show, Monk is decent but gets kinda predictable after awhile. . .still good tho. Seinfeld is a must man. . .fucking easily my favorite show. If you buy one random season and watch it all the way through you'll be hooked worse than crack.

I don't get it man. . . .after all the Dexter talk in this thread I gave it a shot and it didn't do it for me. Maybe it was all the build-up

due south is also cool (old schooooool)

Awesome anime = Code Geass, can dl eps from here http://www.animecorner.nl/ned/anime.asp?id=geass&id2=downloads
