Favorite TV Shows?
« on: February 15, 2010, 01:07:58 am »
Mine are White Collar and Spartacus. What are yours?

(Rules: no anime allowed. also no star trek)

By the way, I ask because I'm looking to get into more TV shows. And I'm not sure what's good. It's my opinion that most TV shows suck.

(of more help: i really like shows about criminals, con artists, etc.)

These are pretty popular and have some type of crime in them.

The Wire
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Weeds

I haven't watched it yet, but I've only heard good things about The Sopranos.

Dexter. <-- absolutely fantastic series. I am so surprised it is as good as it is, I was expecting maybe a quarter of this much entertainment out of a TV series.
Burn Notice. <-- same deal, smaller target audience.
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia <-- not really a TV "series" persay but it's damn entertaining.

If you like criminals/con artists, go with Dexter. You will not be disappointed.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Always Sunny is pretty good, though pretty untrue (they put like...South Philly 4 seconds away from Center City...wtf?)

Dexter = fucking amazing, you definitely need to watch every single episode. I'm waiting for the next season lol. I went through two seasons over a period of ~4 days
House = great show
The Office = good but seems to be getting a bit worse though
South Park = seen every episode lol
Family Guy = passes the time lol
Futurama = good
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia = good
Chappelle's Show was good when they made it.

I'm probably missing other shows, but yeah.

A TV show inaccurate for the sake of convenience?!  You've GOT to be shitting me.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

The Office
Deadliest Catch
Weeds
Seinfeld

I don't watch much tv.  These are my favorite shows, but I hardly ever tune in for them knowingly.  I usually catch re-runs.

Mythbusters!!!

Also, the Fox Sunday Night Lineup -- Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad. We won't talk about the Cleveland Show.

I try not to watch tv on a schedule, though, I found myself wasting too much time. I generally watch reruns.
