What are some lesser known TV shows that you like?
The 3 that I am going to post about are British shows so maybe they are popular in the UK, but not in the USA.

I've been touting Green Wing every chance I get. It's probably the funniest show I've seen since It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. It's a hospital comedy sort of like Scrubs, I guess, but the characters and situations are way more off the wall (I haven't seen much of Scrubs so this is only based on what I have seen so far). The 1st season is on Hulu. You can see season 2 on Veoh.com.


Just finished the Neverwhere series. It's based on Neil Gaiman's book from what I understand. Its only 6 episodes, seems fairly low budget, and the acting isn't all that great, but it's an interesting story. Might have to pick up the book. I've read 2 other Neil Gaiman books and enjoyed them. I didn't realize it first but Tamsin Greig is in this show and Green Wing. I watched it through Netflix.


Just started Black Books, only 2 episodes in. It's about a guy who owns a book shop and he's a bit anti-social from what I can gather. The main character is played a comedian from Ireland, if I'm not mistaken. Tamsin Greig is also in this show as well. Seems pretty funny enough so far. This series is also on Veoh.com

Sleeper Cell is probably the only one that i really liked but only lasted 2 seasons. awesome show about terrorism.

I watch a ton of stuff on TruTV:

Forensic Files
Smoking Gun Presents Worlds Dumbest
The Investigators
Most Shocking
Most Daring
Operation Repo

Pretty much all of those are not really known at all. And Operation Repo is so dumb and fake but i don't kow I always catch myself watching it.

You beat me to it, dammit.

To this day, it's the only "conspiracy" show I could ever get into; I just wasn't a fan of the X-Files or knock-offs thereof.
