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.

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.

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.

I think that's what I was getting at... none of them are special. I just use them to pass time :P

South Park is much better than all of those, its the best animated series.

Family Guy is funny sometimes.  American Dad almost invariably makes me laugh.  I think it's because of Stan and Roger.  All of the other characters bore me.

South Park is definitely my favorite 'animated series', though.  All of the others pale in comparison.

Also, DS9 is great.  I've seen random episodes on TV before, but I downloaded it and I'm watching it all the way through and it's great.  Also, The Tudors is amazing, although I've only seen through most of the second season.

Weeds, Entourage, and The Office are the only shows I keep up with. How's White Collar? I've considered watching it.

Other than that I just watch whatever comes on CNBC...lots of good business shows and specials.

I watched all of season one of Weeds. It was entertaining at the time, but I remember seeing the first few episodes of season two and thought they were boring. Haven't seen an episode since.

Now, The Office is great.

Yeah it's really good, the 2nd season starts slow but the following seasons pick back up. It's definitely a dark comedy though and deals less directly with drugs as the seasons progress.

Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.
