View Full Version : Favorite tv show?
My wife and I watch a lot of TV shows. I mainly download everything. That way we never have to worry about commericals. I am always looking for something new to watch and was wondering what everyones favorite. Right now mine are:
Dexter- can't wait for the new season after watching a teaser for it the other day. I was a little disapointed with season 5
Boardwalk Empire- great first season. Hope it continues to be good
Mad Men- we just started this show and are halfway through season 4. Just gets better and better. Can't beat the eye candy. I am in love with Christina Hendricks and January Jones.
What does everyone else like and can't miss?

Dexter is great, I just need to wait for the 5th and 6th season to be on watch Instantly on Netflix.
I never miss any episodes of The Office. By far my favorite show.

Sort of. Except the owners retain their ownership. He's a consultant of sorts.
Started Netflix streaming a new (to me) series a few nights ago that I'm really impressed with and hadn't seen mentioned here yet:
Intelligence http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Intelligence/70153374?strkid=1849685577_0_0&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strackid=7c04d9befa6676de_0_srl&trkid=222336
It is a Canadian series set in Vancouver. Who knew they had original programming in Canada? Only about 5 episodes in, but it is very well written and casting is pretty good. Acting isn't bad either, except for an awful lot of "Eh's" and "Yah?'s".

Still no cable, but working that Netflix thang....couple new ones to me that I'm enjoying ....bonus that both are 'cigar-friendly' :)
West Wing - unfortunately it isn't avail streaming, but just finished Season 1 discs - never saw even one episode before, but really enjoying
Defenders - streaming this one in between West Wing mailers - Jim Belushi is great -- and he's never far from a cigar - mostly Fuente, it appears -- Opus and Hemingways best I can tell

Right now it would be:

Big Bang Theory
New Girl
Shark Tank
The Office - although I do not watch it as much as I used too.
Sunny - although I like the old stuff better, now it seems like they are trying too hard to be funny.
Still wish they had not taken Criminal Intent off the air. We also watch Criminal Minds a lot.
Still love South Park as well.

Always watch Criminal Minds. Love this series.
Some top fav's
Simpsons
Family Guy
Seinfeld (I have the whole set on DVD and 'The Kramer' hanging up in my hall way)
American Dad
Two and a Half men (Like the newer ones, but with Charlie, way better!)
The OP was unclear, at least in his question. His answer made it seem clear that this was a right now deal.
But for ALL TIME, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
It's harder for NOW, since I do not have cable. I get to watch what I like thanks to the internet. At least before
the whole copyright apocalypse. Now who knows? Before it all went down, back when I could get anything I wanted
online, Game of Thrones. I love a good period drama, and this is extremely well done. Lavish production,
excellent atmosphere.
Other shows I routinely downloaded ill-eagley were Top Gear (UK), The New Girl, The Walking Dead.
On Free TV, my favorite shows include Nova, American Experience, and Nature. Oh, and of course Survivor. ;)
