So far I've downloaded all of Weeds and I'm about to start the 4th season. Right now I'm downloading the first seaosn of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and will see how I like that.

I'm already a huge fan of Lost, The Office, and Heroes. I also like Breaking Bad, and Scrubs, when I catch it.

So suggest some other ones. I'm thinking Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Californication. What are some other good ones? I'd like a good one that keeps me coming like Lost does and Heroes did (before season 2).

By the way, stay away from doctor shows, CSI shows, cop shows, or lawyer shows, no matter how different any of them may be.

It's Always Sunny gets better after the first season. Still good then, though.

Have you checked out any HBO shows? The Sopranos, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Rome, etc. They have the best dramas, bar none. Flight of the Conchords, also, is hilarious.

You don't mention The Office, so if you haven't seen that, do so.

Eh, there are like a million rad shows.

I suggest you get your hands on every season of Trailer Park Boys and watch the fuck out of it.


The fuck out of it.

Fucking Spaced.

If you like Simon Pegg even a little bit watch Spaced.

Been watching The Shield, its pretty good, pretty hardcore ass shit for a TV series.
Himura Kenshin
Eureka and Burn Notice.

REscue me is a good show to kill time. SUnny in Philly is great.

Californiacation I Think people just like because it's a showtime show...they make David Duchov into a pimp/sex demon....when he still seems as dorky and quirky as ever...I didn't like the show. They just forced sex into it to sell.

I mean it's watchable, but I think overrated.

Dr. Who's a good choice too! I'd say watch the most recent series but you'd probably be like "Who the fuck are they?" during the season finale.

Okay, so I wont be getting the internet in my apartment till next thursday, and I'm going to be fully living there starting tomorrow, so I downloaded the first season of a bunch of shows. They are:

Spaced (the whole series)
Battlestar Galactica
Trailer Park Boys
Firefly
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Six Feet Under
Californication
Freaks and Geeks

and I still haven't watched the first season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Shocka
Burn Notice (Spy/Detective show)
Psych (Comedy/Detective show)
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Comedy/Dark humor)
Lost (Survivalist/Mystery/Sci-Fi/Thriller)
Rescue Me (Drama/Firefighter/Dark humor)
Entourage (Comedy)
Jericho (Survivalist/Drama)
Rome (Historical/Drama)
Deadwood (Historical/Drama/Profane)
Newsradio (90's Comedy)

These will cure boredom.

God, I hope you're stoned when you watched Curbed....whoever thought there could be more awkward situations than Seinfeld.....leave it to Curb.

Just like Seinfeld I can't watch those shows anymore. Larry David is just too much for me....
Grimes
How I Met Your Mother

Seriously. Watch it from season 1. It's brilliant.
Da Bears
Grimes, it's funny you mention that show because I had been contemplating watching it...NPH is the man, and I heard he has won emmy's or been nominated for it (or is it an Oscar...whichever one is for TV's...I don't follow that shit).

I guess I"ll have to give it a try...kind of reminded me of Always Sunny, just but not necessarily as dumb of people.
Paraphen
I'm Alan Partridge
Battlestar Galactica
Mad Men
I had another but I totally forgot it

Californication I like mostly because I'm convinced that it's an alternate universe where Mulder was named Hank and his sister was never kidnapped by aliens.


Dexter's good, though I guess technically a cop show, but a good deal of it is focused on serial murdering rather than policework. And I'd also recommend Doctor Who. The modern version at least, I've never seen the older series. Plus I don't really like the ninth doctor, so really just the seasons with David Tennant. Red Dwarf is good but you might not like it, people seem to either love it or hate it. The British version of The Office is good too if you haven't seen that.


Also Arrested Development if you haven't seen it. In fact, Arrested Development should be priority number one. Then It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, then whatever, I don't care.
