Title: Good TV shows.
Post by: snorkel on July 14, 2009, 01:46:02 PM
What are some of your favorite TV shows? I'm speaking of well-thought-out dramas with real actors, not shitty fuck shows like Dancing with the Stars and shit.

Personally I haven't actually watched anything besides hockey on TV in many, many years (I just can't), but one of my last resorts to boredom is torrenting seasons of acclaimed shows.

Right now I'm halfway through the first season of Dexter, and it's excellent. It follows Michael C. Hall (of Six Feet Under fame) as he leads a double life as a serial killer and blood forensics expert. Good acting, and pretty fun to watch, I'd recommend it.

My other favorites are Six Feet Under and House.

My girlfriend has been watching every episode of Dexter, she loves it but I've yet to see it.

I personally love Superjail! and Wondershowzen. Up there is Stella which I can't wait for Michael & Michael.

Animaniacs, Darkwing Duck, Ducktales and Batman: The Animated Series were all good shows.

Lost was good for the first few seasons. Also Poirot was awesome but I haven't watched it in 3 or 4 years so maybe it isn't. I dunno, I don't watch a lot of TV.

(btw the bastards who made wipeout need to die).

oh arrested development is awesome.

Arrested Development has never even made me smile. It's a shitty dramedy.

None of you have mentioned "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

I've seen every episode. Literally. True Blood is entertaining, but not really a good show. It has really cheesy moments which make me question me liking it.


you like the new album. ~ you sorta like Green Day

Gilmore Girls, Boy Meets World, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, 7th Heaven, Weeds,
The United States of Tara, 30 Rock and Family Guy but a lot of people probably have an issue with that.

There's not really any shows that I'd really commit to watching right now outside of The Colbert Report and Daily Show. College Gameday is always entertaining though
