TV Shows - What's Next For Me?

Try Nip/tuck. It's completely naughty, delicious fun. Also Battlestar Galactica.

If you are in the UK i am not sure what is available.

if you like comedy, i think "The IT Crowd" is brilliant. I am told that "Father Ted" is as well.

Would also very highly recommend "Sport Night" - it was one of Aaron Sorkin's first series - exceptional. "The Wire" is incredible but you need to get thru the first couple of episodes to get into it.

"Arrested Development" is one of the best comedies, hands down.

Have not watched it yet, but apparently "Mad Men" is incredible.

I can't watch Mad Men. It's like watching a show about my daily life, since I'm in advertising. The scenery and clothes have changed, but the business hasn't.

Interesting. I've just looked it up, assuming that it was really old but it seems to be current. Si-Fi.

I might check that out.

If you like Sci-Fi, Battlestar G is where it's at! Great writing (mostly) and excellent action. Make sure you don't get the 70's version by mistake...


As far as current shows, those mentioned by others are all pretty good.

Check out NBC's Life. It's a cool, hip and edgy show. The lighter side of crime fighting, not a comedy, per se, but it's got some hilarious moments and great characters.

Is it fast paces like The West Wing and Studio 60? I loved, truly loved, The West Wing - so I'll definitely be looking that up.

yes it is - and if you loved the west wing you should also love sports night - maybe even more.

for an opposite of that, you could look at "twin peaks" - slow but brilliant in its own way. if you like complexity and something really well written it is great.

"mr show" is another genius comedy.

Entourage is a sometimes comedic capture of the larger than life moviestar persona of Vincent Chase, his brother Johnny Drama, friend Turtle, and manager Eric Murphy. Turtle has a name but I'll let you watch all five seasons to find out what it is. Jeremy Piven is the real shining star as Ari Gold, Hollywood super agent. The boys are from Queens, living the life and struggling to make it at times. Its lighter than the other two programs.

Rescue Me is a fireman's drama. Denis Leary stars as Tommy Gavin, recovering alcoholic FDNY firefighter in post-9/11 New York. The crew lost Tommy's cousin Jimmy Keefe in the towers and each of them are dealing with post traumatic stress and family issues in their own way. Tommy has a very close relationship with Jimmy's widow Sheila, and his wife Janet doesn't appreciate that Tommy is always working while she is struggling to raise his two daughters and his son Connor at home alone for extended periods, because of the long hours of the FDNY.

Mad Men is a drama set in 1960s New York, at the Sterling Agency on Madison Avenue. Its a historically accurate take on the high life in the 60s. Drink. Smoke. F*ck. Advertising executives living a fast life in New York, its one of the best shows on basic cable.

The only show I watch outside of really bad crap is Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I never got much into the other Law & Order series, but I absolutely love SVU. The storylines can get gritty and downright disturbing at times, and some of the twists and turns really catch you off guard.

Of course, it has it's boring or predictable episodes, but those are few and far between.

Unfortunately, I have watched almost every episode from all 10 seasons now within a year, so my viewing has slowed.

Based on your list, I think you'd like Breaking Bad.

I'm something of a TV snob myself and I consider it one of the best shows on TV from the past couple of years, and certainly the single most underrated.

There's only been seven episodes due to the writer's strike, but I believe it's coming back to television soon...

The new incarnation of Battlestar Galactica is amazing. I think you'll love it. It's very smart and very intense.

Definitely watch Entourage! I started watching it not to long ago and watched seasons 1-4 nonstop along with season 5. And besides, Vincent Chase is hott!

If you want something funny, check out Weeds.

while it was only on for one season, its definitely worth watching FireFly. one of the best shows ever. imo of course.

youve already got most of what i would suggest.
and while im thinking about it...i sure hope a new season of dexter comes out.


but you dont have any house?
if youre looking for an interesting story with a great build of characters, house is a must look into!

* Sex and the City
* Brothers and Sisters
* Dirty, Sexy Money
* Skins (U.K.)

They are on my top list...
