I Need A New Television Series To Watch

Page 2 - Seeking answers? Join the AnandTech community: where nearly half-a-million members share solutions and discuss the latest tech.
Strongly recommended and vaguely in order of preference:
Sopranos
band of brothers
firefly
buffy
west wing
battelstar galactica (just starting to plough my way thru now, pretty good)

lowering the bar a bit:
24 (first couple of seasons very good but then gets silly)
lost (1st season good other than too little happens, 2nd dire, 3rd it really gets going)
Heroes
Alias
CSI (vegas/original)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (constantly fluctuates between hilarious and just painful)
4400

Not sure if the following are worth renting but I look these out if I'm watching the TV:
House
Scrubs
My Name is Earl

First season of Nip/Tuck was very promising but I lost all interest in the second season.

I have Arrested Development and Dexter outstanding on my rental list, adding How I Met Your Mother now 🙂

I usually don't watch anything unless it has a couple of seasons out on DVD already. I have heard good things about The Wire, and took a chance and rented the first disc tonight. I am waiting for season three of BSG to move to the dollar rental shelves before renting that one, I have watched everything up to that point.

Are there any series that stand out in your mind as being exceptional?

just finished 3rd season of The Wire. GF and I are hooked. It's a damn fine show.
 
Six Feet Under
Oz

I'm working through Oz right now, and it's really good.
Six Feet under was also phenomenal.

Or my all time personal favorite:
The OC.
God I miss that show, words can't even express how I feel about it.
 
Leave it to Beaver.....yea it's ancient, but still funny and the standard joke:
what did Mrs. Cleaver say to Mr. Cleaver??... Ward, weren't you a little hard on
the beaver last night??.

Oz is pretty much amazing. I was even surprised by how graphic and inappropriate a lot of the stuff on there gets, almost like actually being in prison. 😛

Wow. Looking at peoples suggestions no one has suggested it.

I loved that show!

Same here!

I thought Bruce Greenwood did a great job and the storyline was pretty sweet. I mean, to get an entire society to deny your existence is pretty far out there.

Another one I miss as well was 7 Days with Jonathan LaPaglia. I guess UPN (now CW) had some good hits on their hands and not enough of the viewer share.
 
it's always sunny in philadelphia


Rent seasons 1/2 on DVD. Season 3 comes out on DVD in Sept. and the new season (4) starts this fall.
 
Burn Notice
Monk

Both are ongoing but you can pick up prior seasons on DVD. I don't have any others that haven't been mentioned already.
