my roommate got netflix so we've been taking full advantage |
qwe3
02.06.11 | breaking bad and californication are so good
yeah i got spartacus but havent watched it yet
anyone who likes good tv should prob watch Boardwalk Empire and Treme ugh so good |
Narshh
02.06.11 | yeah im watching sopranos now so my best tv shows ever agenda is complete (sopranos + 1,2,3) and yeah sea you should watch californication, humors lewd at times but oh so funny, and the internal struggle with the main character is hard to take serious at first but when it takes shape its amazing. And yeah chan i agree rocket man was so fucking brilliant i think i cried, i am man enough to admit that. And shameless is good too, i havent seen the uk version so idk if it'll be better or not but the us version is pretty good, that and Matt LeBlanc's new show; Episodes |
overtheedge
02.06.11 | I like 5 quite a bit aside from the latest season. Up to the fifth was pretty awesome though |
Narshh
02.06.11 | o i didnt complete my first thought lol
"yeah im watching sopranos now so my best tv shows ever agenda is complete (sopranos + 1,2,3)" but i want to watch Boardwalk Empire afterwards |
MUNGOLOID

02.06.11 | Seinfeld for me. Really well written, mostly well acted and even the minor supporting characters are hilarious. |

02.06.11 | haha yeah seinfelds good, never watched modern family, man vs food, or always sunny |

02.06.11 | Last season of Dexter fucking sucked. My list:
Dramas
1. Lost
2. Breaking Bad
3. Mad Men
4. Deadwood
5. Six Feet Under
6. The Wire
7. Carnivale
8. Dexter
9. Rome
Comedy
1. Seinfeld (will never, ever be topped)
2. Scrubs
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
4. How I Met Your Mother
5. Arrested Development
|
Narshh
02.06.11 | lost as 1 tho? really |
acorncheese
02.06.11 | But really. Seinfeld and Lost are the greatest shows ever. Breaking Bad might surpass Lost by the time it ends. Walking Dead will be on my all-time list after another season, I'm sure. |
Narshh
02.06.11 | seinfeld is a classic of course but idk about lost, already i believe mad men and breaking bad to be better but im not an avid fan of lost, never got into it i guess and shows like mad men and breaking bad seem to have more character driven/less plot twist driven plot |
acorncheese
02.06.11 | This is obviously just my opinion. I see what you're saying about Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but, really, Lost is ALL about the characters. I'd definitely recommend, if you haven't already, throwing away all preconceived notions of the show and watching it from episode one. Even if you've seen a few episodes here and there. |
Narshh
02.06.11 | im working on sopranos atm and then boardwalk empire but after all thatt i might if there's nothing else haha |
acorncheese
02.06.11 | Can't even tell you how many people I know who've gone from absolutely despising Lost (after having seen an episode or two), to watching the full series and becoming rabid fanboys lol. |

Chrisjon89
02.06.11 | I've seen bits and pieces of Californication and I didn't mind it but for some reason I don't like David Duchovny.
There was nudity in the episodes I saw though, it was alright. |

02.06.11 | Mad Men is sooooooooo overrated. |

02.06.11 | friend of mine was one of those "i watched Lost for a bit then it started sucking in season 2 so i said fuck that shit lol", i convinced him to watch the whole thing and now he says its one of the best series he's ever seen.
the office UK, seinfeld, curb your enthusiasm and entourage are the ones i've seen everything from. haven't seen breaking bad, sopranos (!), six feet under, the wire, etc. need to get on that asap. |
qwe3
02.06.11 | yeah lost rules
anyone who likes Curb Your Enthusiasm should check out Lead Balloon. it's like the british version. it's so fucking funny. |
americanmusicmachine
02.06.11 | party down motherfuckers |

02.06.11 | i'll have to check that out qwe.
also, eastbound and down.

Narshh
02.06.11 | alotta goood shows mentioned, only thing i disagree about is mad men being "sooooooooo overrated" haha, almost all of season 4 was near perfect, right down their constant excellent representation of teh 60s, what leads a man to alcoholism, falling down that hole and then digging yourself out etc. And throughout the series, episodes such as the one about kennedy's assassination are simply amazing. |
acorncheese
02.06.11 | Watching this show right now called An Idiot Abroad. Hilarious. |
psykonaut
02.06.11 | breaking bad is the shit |
thatoneguy726
02.06.11 | LOST is so good that I haven't been able to get into any other serious non-animated shows since. It's just not the same without amazing music and character development. Plus, I need the serial. I hate serious shows with standalone episodes.
INcluding animated:
1. LOST
2. Invader Zim
3. Death Note
4. Arrested Development
5. Spongebob episodes made before the movie
6. Ned's Declassified
7. Everybody Hates Chris |

I almost feel the same way. I've just accepted that there's never going to be another drama that will capture me and grip me in the way that Lost did. That show, like Seinfeld, is/was a fucking lifestyle. Come at me. |
Narshh
02.08.11 | i wonder if my description of the song choices even makes sense haha |

charicatures
but seriously loved that show. |
Emim
02.08.11 | "5. Spongebob episodes made before the movie"
Yes yes yes
I've been fluctuating between what shows I watch lately, but these are probably the most consistent:
MAHFUCKING SEINFELD
Chuck
The Office
Dragon Ball Z
Spongebob
The Mentalist
Burn Notice
Psych
Fringe
All the different series of Stargate
Sanctuary
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Red Vs. Blue (online, but so what)
Hawaii Five-0
Criminal Minds
House
Idk, that's all I can think of atm. |
foreverendeared
02.08.11 | Damn, Emim, you watch some shitty shows |
Yotimi
02.08.11 | Saved By the Bell
The Wonder Years
Family Matters
Boy Meets World
Clarrissa Explains It All
Salute Your Shorts
Pete and Pete |
qwe3
02.08.11 | Treme
Boardwalk Empire
Party Down
Community
The Good Wife
Breaking Bad
John Adams
The Pillars of the Earth
thats what ive been into |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | Pretty sad that Carnivale hasn't been mentioned yet. PRETTY FUCKING SAD. |
tom79
02.08.11 | The Wire is by far my favourite tv show. No other show touches it in terms of quality.
Other great dramas: The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Weeds, Dexter (S5 was weak)
Great comedies: Eastbound & Down, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny, Bored
to Death, Californication (good mix of drama/comedy)
I'm currently on the second season of Oz, and it's awesome so far. |
tom79
02.08.11 | Yeah I heard it goes downhill, I'll keep that it mind. |
Narshh
02.08.11 | and if ur a fan of quality tv im surprised you haven't watched mad men yet. Get on that, same writer as Sopranos, and ultimately brilliant |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | I liked the first two seasons of Weeds, but it became a fucking joke after that imo |
qwe3
02.08.11 | dling it atm cuz hbo |
Satellite
02.08.11 | no arrested development or lost = fail |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | qwe, don't know which show you were talking about, but you should seriously consider watching Carnivale. It had so much potential. Canceled after two GLORIOUS seasons. |
wyankeif1337
02.08.11 | i love you for 5, i thought i was the only person who watches that show |
tom79
02.08.11 | I watched the first 2 episodes of Carnivale, and while it was definitely good, I never continued for some reason. I dunno if it's because I knew it got canceled and wouldn't have a proper ending, or if it was just too weird maybe? I'll probably watch it one day though. Same with Mad Men, watched the pilot and stopped, but will one day watch it. Don't really care to watch Lost at all tho tbh. |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | My Name Is Earl was HONESTLY among the worst comedies I've ever seen. |
qwe3
02.08.11 | "qwe, don't know which show you were talking about, but you should seriously consider watching Carnivale. It had so much potential. Canceled after two GLORIOUS seasons. "
was talking about Carnivale
also if anyone is an Ian McShane fan you should check out The Pillars of the Earth and Kings
Kings is about the kingdom of the bible's David but it's set in modern times. So good. Cancelled after 1 season cuz NBC is gay
also yeah i agree with Tom about the Wire. Probably the best TV show ever to exist. Have you seen Treme? It's by the same guy who did The Wire |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | Fucking huge fan of McShane in Deadwood. Had no idea about the NBC show. I'll check it out. |
qwe3
02.08.11 | yeah McShane is probably one of the best TV actors in the world |
tom79
02.08.11 | Qwe, I haven't seen Treme yet but it's high on my list of shows to watch. Probably watch it after I'm done Oz. Have you seen The Corner? It's a 2000 HBO mini-series, same makers of The Wire. It's essential viewing if you liked The Wire, based on a true story too. |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | I'm honestly going to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean because McShane is playing Blackbeard. Aside from that, each movie in that series has been enjoyable, if nothing else. Come at me. |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | To be fair, the last two films were pretty bad, but still fairly fun to watch. The first is actually a great movie. |
Satellite
02.08.11 | yeah the pirates films are pretty much just mindless entertainment bolstered by how awesome the character jack sparrow is. nothing wrong with that. |
Satellite
02.08.11 | the big question is how are they gonna replace the invaluable keira knightley and all the talent she brought to the table |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | I've got no problem with pencruz |
qwe3
02.08.11 | "Qwe, I haven't seen Treme yet but it's high on my list of shows to watch. Probably watch it after I'm done Oz. Have you seen The Corner? It's a 2000 HBO mini-series, same makers of The Wire. It's essential viewing if you liked The Wire, based on a true story too."
nice. i'll get on that. i've been getting into miniseries myself. John Adams miniseries is the current one.
anyone seen Homicide: Life on the Street? |
qwe3
02.08.11 | wtf penelope cruz rules + is hotter than keira |
Kiran
02.08.11 | definitely hotter, easily as good an actress |
qwe3
02.08.11 | better, even |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | far better |
Thane
02.08.11 | trailer park boys |
Narshh
02.08.11 | so many bad movies coming out recently and if the wire is better then or as good as mad men then i will definitely have to watch it soon. I thinking im gonna ignore the recommendations to watch lost tho lol |
qwe3
02.08.11 | the wire wipes the floor with mad men. it's the best tv show ever made bar none. |
Narshh
02.08.11 | is this coming from someone whos seen both or just the wire? |
foreverendeared
02.08.11 | tom79 and qwe know what's up, except I think Lost is decent at best.
Also Mad Men is shit compared to the Wire, but a decent show, nothing amazing. Basically nothing happens for 4 seasons. |
Yotimi
02.08.11 | ^props for mentioning Dollhouse before. Such an underrated show (Friday primetime curse killed it) |
qwe3
02.08.11 | "is this coming from someone whos seen both or just the wire?"
both
dude people study the wire in college it's that dense and dramatically perfect |
foreverendeared
02.08.11 | Yeah Dollhouse was so great. If you like it and haven't seen Firefly, do so ASAP. |
acorncheese
02.08.11 | "I thinking im gonna ignore the recommendations to watch lost tho lol"
Your loss :p
"the wire wipes the floor with mad men. it's the best tv show ever made bar none."
They're way too different to be comparing. Mad Men has some of the best writing I've ever seen. It's hard to compare The Wire to any other show because of the sheer magnitude of what happens in it. It's not centered around one man like Mad Men is. It's centered around an entire city. |

Narshh
02.08.11 | oooook im definitely gonna watch the wire soon...so many sopranos episodes to get through thoo |
iarescientists
02.08.11 | gonna reiterate that everyone should watch party down cause party down is the best tv comedy since arrested development
also been meaning to watch the wire but i don't have the time to devote to it yet and i downloaded the first season and it was in .mkv and i can't put that on a flash drive and watch on my xbox cause xbox's are dumb but don't hate on mad men cause mad men rules
party down |

02.09.11 | "They're way too different to be comparing. Mad Men has some of the best writing I've ever seen."
yeah and The Wire has better |
