Parks and Rec - better than the office

Trailer Park Boys - better than Always Sunny


Those are the two funniest shows for me and neither were listed here... Am I weird???

Also I think it's amazing people continued to watch Lost after one maybe two seasons.

I have been really enjoying the Event.  I think its great and is a great replacement for any lost or 24 fans.  But its not as annoying as lost(at least so far).

Also, Parks and recreation is one of the funniest shows on tv right now IMO

I mentioned parks and rec

what is borgias
Showtime series about the Borgia family.  Rodrigo Borgia (Jeremy Irons) became Pope Alexander the Second in 1492.  He openly had two families and his eldest son was a cardinal during his time as pope.  He bribed his way to the Papal Throne (happened in the first episode) and he and his family did whatever it took to stay in power (including murder - also happened in the first episode). 

The Borgias are widely regarded as the first true crime family and the Godfather (as well as other "crime families") is loosely based on them. 

First episode was pretty good.  A bit slow, but I'm sure it will pick up now that the key players have been introduced. 

basically assassin's creed, the tv show :p

Just finished season 2 of Parks and Rec on Netflix Livestream -- I like it.  Actually, similar dynamics to the Office -- Office is better overall, IMO.

Also, just started watching Trailer Park Boys on Netflix. After 4 episodes I'd say I  like this also.  An Office/Spinal Tap hybrid Canadien style.  Good so far.

My all-time favorite is Taxi.  I am a fan the Dick Van Dyke Show and Andy Griffith (especially the Don Knotts episodes). Seinfeld and Curb are great. It's Garry Shandling's Show was great too. 

I have NEVER seen a single full episode of an adult cartoon since the Flinstones.  No Simpsons, No South Park, No Family Guy...  I have an aversion to shows that attract children and then hit them with adult themes. Just feels wrong.


Dramas:  Hill Street, St. Elsewhere, LA Law, Sopranos, Shield, 24, Lost are all favorites. I tend to be behind the times on new shows.

I rarely watch TV anymore, but Game of Thrones on HBO looks fantastic.  The story comes from an amazing set of books. If you want something "intelligent" watch "Deadwood" and "The Wire."  Two of the best shows ever made.

Or you can read - I just finished "World War Z" a novel about the end war v. zombies and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Hemmingway and "Life on the Mississippi" by Twain.

Each was excellent, nothing on TV is better than a great novel.

I've been watching Merlin as of late.  It's basically about how Merlin and Arthur come to meet and how their relationship grows.  It's pretty interesting, especially for anyone interested in sci-fi.  I also watched Lights Out on FX, season finale is tonight.  Pretty good boxing show, though some times things were all over the place.

I really liked the first season, the second, not so much.

That's a shame - I've seen the first season and loved it, but only one episode from the second so far.  When I get around to it I hope my experience is different than yours, because Season 1 was pretty great.
