    New TV Show sugestion

    Ok so here's the deal. I like tv shows but I've ran out of shows to watch and I need some suggestions. I've compiled a list.

    Show's I've seen from beginning to end and enjoyed:

    Dramas:
    Burn Notice
    Dexter
    Heroes
    House
    Journeyman
    Lost
    Smallville
    Supernatural
    True Blood

    Comedies:
    Arrested Development
    Big Bang Theory
    Boy Meets World
    Chapelle's Show
    Community
    Dead Like Me
    Family Guy
    Friends
    Futurama
    Glee (Starting to dislike this show more and more)
    How I Met Your Mother
    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
    Penn & Teller: Bullshit!
    Psych
    Reaper
    Scrubs
    South Park

    Started watching but didn't finish:

    24 (1st season)
    Chuck (1st Season)
    Dollhouse (1st season)
    Flash Forward (First 5ish eps)
    Modern Family (First 5ish eps)
    My Name Is Earl (First 3 seasons)


    Anybody have any suggestions? Or do you know if the shows that I haven't finished picked up. I'm downloading The Office right now because I hear good things.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer for campy cheesy goodness
    if you like Buffy then try Angel (spinoff)
    Firefly, short due to Fox not knowing how to schedule/promote things but worth watching.
    Human Target is worth checking out.
    Breaking Bad is amazing.


    if British stuff is ok:
    Spaced (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, nuff said)
    Life on Mars
    Inbetweeners
    IT Crowd
    How Not to Live Your Life
    Skins

    just a few off the top of my head

    The Office (US version, UK version is a bit more...subtle) and 30 Rock...they're both quite far in so you might have to marathon them. But both great shows.

    If British stuff is allowed, I'd recommend Survivors. It's a show about people who survive a pandemic for mysterious reasons. It's like a mystery/drama and really good. Also, the obvious British mention of Doctor Who(drama/comedy) and Torchwood(comedy/drama).

    Also, for Modern Family, if you just didn't like the first few episodes due to amount of plot vs comedy, I was like that too and just recently got back into it. Now that they've established characters, it's started to get funnier.

    Oh yeah! If British is allowed: DEFINETELY watch Spaced! The show is already complete and it's with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz)...it's funny as hell and has a lot of "geek" humor like Big Bang Theory.

    Also in the British department: Man Stroke Woman. It's a sketch show, a bit like Little Britain, with Nick Frost.

    I'll second Firefly. It's a fairly amazing show, and I didn't watch it until recently after years of people going "Firefly is amazing!" so it was fairly hyped up by the time I saw it.

    What else...I always enjoyed The Dead Zone, maybe try that out.

    Some comdies:

    Everybody Loves Raymond (The first few seasons aren't as funny as the rest of the series in my opinion. Complete.)
    King of Queens (Complete.)
    Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (If you haven't seen this yet, then damn lol.)

    And yeah, The Office is funny as hell. My favorite show at the moment.

    Also, I'm about to start the show "Extras" (British, created by Gervais/Merchant). I've heard it's one of the best shows to ever air.

    But seriously, do yourself a favor. Arrested Development is the most rewarding comedy to the viewer, and in my opinion, the best comedy series ever scripted.

    Seconded. i've always enjoyed the episodes I've managed to catch on British TV of this.

    Plus

    NCIS, as mentioned before. Gibbs & Abby are two of the best characters I've ever seen.
    Also got a soft spot for CSI:NY, more so than the others in the franchise.

    Law and Order: SVU, gets a special mention for having disturbing stories now and then.

    It's weird how NCIS grows on you once you see a few episodes heh.. I'm at the point now where I'm getting into the background stories and wanting to catch up on old episodes.

    dunno if I would go that far, it's definitely a funny show, but I wouldn't want to go into it with that much hype
