Recommend me some good TV series.....

[AUMM]

Anyone have any recommendations for some quality TV show series?

to give you an idea of shows I watch and really like....

Breaking Bad
Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dexter

What are some of your favorites?

 

[shortylickens]

Dexter (but you already have that).

I dont like much these days.

Rescue Me.
DeadWood.

Thats about it.
TV fucking sucks.

 

[irishScott]

Don't watch any of those. What I do watch (regularly):

The Big Bang Theory
House
NCIS
Law and Order: SVU

 

[OUCaptain]

Boston Legal's pretty damn funny

Denny Crane.

 

[Pardus]

Futurama
The Sopranos
South Park
Heroes

not much else.

I enjoy all of the shows you mentioned (except for Sunny in Philadelphia which tries too hard and has poor acting; just could not get into that one at all) and I'm liking Justified and Community right now.

I just borrowed Misfits off a buddy, which is like the British Heroes and is apparently very good, but I have yet to watch it.

[coreyb]

madmen

 

[Muse]

The West Wing. Seasons 1-4.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Hogan's Heroes >>>>>>>> *

The Shield seems right up your alley if you haven't watched it already.

All the FX shows are pretty good though.

 

[Ken g6]

Boston Legal's pretty damn funny

It Shirley is.

NCIS

<Ziva>I think NCIS is getting a little long in the jaw. They don't even club an eye when she does that anymore.</ziva>

Haven't seen one of the OP's favorite shows. It may not help that I don't have cable or satellite. :|

 

[xanis]

Dead Like Me

 

[OUCaptain]

It Shirley is.

Don't give me any of your Schmidt

Denny Crane... coo coo for cocoa puffs.

 

[ixelion]

just to confirm what others have said these are great shows:

the wire
the shield
sopranos
deadwood
madmen

In addition:

Firefly
Extras
Better Off Ted
Pushing Daisies

IMHO Curb is overrated tired comedy, it relies too heavily on lame observational jokes and unconvincing awkward social "situations". Larry David is really off putting on screen (although if you liked Curb you may also like the Larry Sanders Show).

 

[KeithTalent]

Dead Like Me

Quality program. :thumbsup:

Are you actually enjoying Justified...I had high hopes for this one but for me it has fallen flat on its face...I watched the first 4 episodes and quit.

My nominees for the OP..not sure if you want current still producing or some great ones from the past as well:

Breaking Bad is currently the best show on television.
Dexter
Sopranos
Oz
The Wire
Deadwood
Lost ( but can only watch it as a 'binge'...can't do 1 episode a week)
Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Two and half Men
Boston legal (someone else mentioned this one and it really was a great show)

Currently trying to watch '30 Rock' and I hope it improves...NO where near Modern Family funny.

 

[Loop2kil]

Sons of Anarchy...how did I forget this one.

 

[Adrenaline]

Smallville (sad what it has become though)
True Blood
Dexter
Glee (it is fun to watch with the wife, but I probably would not watch it by myself)
Chuck
South Park

 

[Andres3605]

You could try Prison break and Lost.

 

[kevbot]

Six Feet Under, Extras and Arrested Development if you are not needing current shows. Also Chuck.
Just my opinion.

 

[Alex@Nosound]

Well i started watching gravity its not bad

also nurse jackie is alright i spose

 

[melek-taus]

Heroes
Lost
Californication David duchovney on his best
Weeds
South Park
Futurama
Simpsons
Two and half Men
Scrubs

And loads of anime series
