I'm pretty bored, I'm looking for something that keeps you in the action and gets you involved... It doesn't necessarily have to be all action, but, you know, some good stuff.

I've enjoyed

Dexter

Tried House M.D and was kind of disappointed actually Embarassed

About House, I recommend you see some more episodes. I didn't get into House until after three episodes, that's when I got hooked on his personality, it really is a great show, maybe you'll like it if you give another chance. Smile


I watched the whole 1st season. I mean- don't get me wrong. The character is great, but I was disappointed that there's no real story, I mean- each episode is a different disease and stuff, and the only thing I noticed that was in there throughout the whole season is that Gregory wants to have sex with his boss really bad.

I'm downloading "The Wire" as we speak, the commercial is awesome, lol.

I'll try Jericho, 4400 and Heroes too.

This gotta be the list of the worst shows I watched in years (excluding 4400).
Jericho - soap drama with pathetic second season.
Heroes - all bad all the time.

Psych - Awesome humor and two really great main characters that work really well with each other, this is the one show that really makes me laugh out loud, it has such great dialogue. Yeah, it doesn't have a solid story, but it doesn't have to have one, it's just fun watching them do their thing.

I disagree. At first it was okays-ish but then it got so annoying watching that guy act like a retard in every single ep. Thank god Mentalist came along, it's better than Psych in every aspect.

Yeah Oz is awesome, get it asap - if you have even a shred of good taste you'll love it.



I mean, how could you not like that?


And as far as Heroes goes, the first season was good back then, and since the story arc ended at the season finale, you could just watch the first season and skip the rest.

Entourage is a good show characterwise.

Bones is, although it's similar in buildup to CSI and and NCSI etc, the chemistry between the main actors and everyone else is pretty cool and it's managed to keep me interested so far for 4 seasons.

Generation Kill. Miniseries with several key crew members from The Wire(writer and creator of The Wire, has written the scripts and teleplay for Generation Kill).

Burn Notice. Big fan of this show, it's very laid back and a nice setup all together. Bruce Campbell rocks Very Happy

What's Burn Notice about?

Oz is a must.

Sopranos is great.

True Blood (only 1 season so far, even though I'm not big on vampires I really like it, but I thought the first episode was dreadfully bad, thank God I continued watching)

Dexter - errr, you've already watched that, just an amazing piece of work.

Wanted to write more but I kinda dozed off to comedy and whatnot.

It's ok, I mostly watch it because of John Noble's character tho (pretty funny sometimes). The series itself isn't classic material or anything.

I think if they continue developing the show's storyline with all the little plot twists and a big overarch, we could be in for a great treat in season 2.

I am just hoping that Abrams won't pull Lost on this series...
It's just perfect right now.

What WaldoJ said was on the mark (more or less) but if you wanted to hear the actual plot here goes:

Burn notice is basically about this Spy who gets a burn notice in the middle of a mission. Basically what that that means is that he is blacklisted and he is dumped in miami with all his bankaccounts blocked and so on. So while he is working on finding out who blacklisted him he takes jobs to help people (to get cash). And so on. I would also recomend it even if i've been to busy to keep up with the later eps.

The Lost Room sucks .......................... because it's finished Crying or Very sad God that series was far too epic to have only three episodes. They were awesome beyond words, but it just leaves you wanting more! Give us another season, damn it!!

Got the Box Set.

Best WW2 series ever (and I watched it when it was on HBO)....even tho there's the American twist to everything. Still, one hell of a show.
