TV shows you watch [R]

[Master_Chief123]

Favorites include Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons, Two and a Half Men.. random game shows..random late shows on Teletoon(Canada's Cartoon Network).. such as Frisky Dingo, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Venture Bros... not a big fan of Metalocolypse though (sorry Walter).. there's quite a few more but meh

[Walter3000]

For comedy, look up Newsradio. It's one of the greatest sitcoms I've ever seen (Exaggerating) but it's one of the only sitcoms that had me in tears. No Futurama Walter? Watch that too!

Newsradio I have watched, and liked, Futurama too. Neither a favorite but both very enjoyable.

[Walter3000]

Shared thoughts on the other CSIs being garbage

[blackjack]

I'm neck-deep into The Wire right now. It's far and away the best television show I've ever watched.

No.2 all time for me, love it.

[Kazuma]

Like Clan I don't watch much TV with some exceptions.

I have been watching Flying Circus on DVD a lot though.

[Cris 09]

The Wire and Prison Break need to go on your "must see" list. Judging by your list, you'll really like 'em.

LOL...I actually was into Dawson's Geek as well because of a girl I dated that loved the show. What can I say...I got sucked into it. I might have had a seret crush on Katie Holmes back then. ;)

My wife (an RN) unfortunatly loves the Real Life Trauma's of the ER and Judge Judy. Judge Judy, I can take, Real Life Traumas make me nauseaus...I can't take the sight of blood.

Nice list - I love most of those as well. We also watched the whole first season of Jerico, not bad.

Figured I bump this as I need assistance anyways.

My girlfriend and I are very domesticated, watch a lot of TV. We netflix shows and watch full seasons in a matter of days. Anyways looking for something new, based on stuff I like.

[Kerry Dixon's Boots]

No.2 all time for me, love it.

I need to watch it on DVD. I tried it on BET and all the grittiness was muted out so pretty much ruined.

I enjoyed Dexter on Showtime.

Eddie loved Oz - but I think he just enjoyed watching guys getting their salad tossed.

[Walter3000]

The Wire is easily the most well thought out and planned show ever. Never a wasted scene.

[mshankb]

I can't believe that a) I didn't see this thread until now and b) it took until yesterday for the greatest piece of television art for a generation, if not of all time, to be mentioned. The Wire. Wow. Amazing.

I could talk about great television for hours, I adore high quality television and I think it gets a bum deal compared to films.

Kudos to Monkee for mentioning The Day Today and Brass Eye - Armando Ianucci has never been involved in a bad TV show. If you like those two, then The Armando Ianucci Show, Time Trumpet, Clinton: His Struggle With Dirt, 2004: The Stupid Version, and, of course, the greatest of all sitcoms in any English-speaking country ever, ever, ever, anywhere, ever... I'm Alan Partridge. Jackanackanory!

Chris Morris is a legend - I still quote TDT and BE until my sides hurt.

This is the TV thread....happy now??

Christopher Morris: Peter, you've lost the news! What have you got to say?
Peter O'Hanarha-hanrahan: I'm sorry.
Christopher Morris: Look like you mean it! Look down at the ground and say "Sorry".
Peter O'Hanarha-hanrahan: I'm sorry.
Christopher Morris: Peter, next time you cross the road, don't bother looking.

[mshankb]

That's scientific fact. There's no actual evidence for it, but it IS scientific fact.

[blackjack]

The Wire is easily the most well thought out and planned show ever. Never a wasted scene.

I'm in the second season right now. For the first three episodes, it seemed scattered and nowhere near as intriguing as the first season, but the fourth episode that I just watched last night really pulled a lot of strings together and tied up all the loose ends that the previous three had left lying around. There's now a comprehensive case and the scattered elements all fit together.

That's what I like about the show. Most others are too worried about retaining viewers to let things develop for a few episodes. They need concrete conclusions at the end of each one. The Wire trusted that I was intelligent enough to keep interested and has now produced a more compelling situation than it could have by tying things up at the end of each episode.

[Walter3000]

The second season was my least favorite, but still very good.

[mshankb]

Ooh, the second was one of my favourites. At the time I wasn't so keen, but looking back and on re-viewings, it's so layered and dense, it's excellent.

I think season 5 was the worst, or rather least brilliant. But then, HBO did it cut it to 10 shows, which was pretty weak of them.
