Recommend me a TV Show

[millertime150]

I love tv shows. Especially when I can watch it ON DEMAND, HULU, or NETFLIX. I like being able to watch episodes back to back to back.

I also have tried shows like CSI, Bones, NCIS, Castle, Warehouse 13 but these shows don't seem to have an ongoing storyline and they don't get me excited to find out what happens next. They are decent shows though but I can live without these shows.

I am not really into comedy shows. I like shows that have a ongoing storyline.

Here are some of the shows I like in no particular order:

LOST
24
Prisonbreak
Heroes
Sons of Anarchy
True Blood
Burn Notice
Sopranos
Dexter
Jericho

Comedy Shows that I like but they don't really get me HOOKED:

How I met your Mother
Big Band Theory
Weeds

If I had to pick my favorites:
Dexter
Trueblood
Jericho
LOST

My brother is a big fan of House. Seems like it has a good enough story line to keep things interesting. I can never get into the whole medical drama thing though.

Its been off of the air for a long time (and its comedy), but Arrested Development is a great show. You can still access all of the episodes online. Unfortunately there are only 3 seasons. It should keep you pretty busy though.

I really enjoyed the first season of "Fringe"

It took a few episodes to get going, but it turned out to be very entertaining.

Each episode had its own plot, which was connected to a main ongoing plot.

Mad Men...unequivocally the best show on TV.

Love "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I've seen every episode many, many times.

I think we were ahead of our time, pre-"Twilight" craze.

I'll second "Rescue Me" and "Mad Men" too. I watch both of them on demand through my cable provider and have gotten really hooked on both.

I really enjoyed "The Unit". Shame that they canceled it.

 

[FreezerBurns]

Breaking Bad
Ice Road Truckers
The Ultimate Fighter (season starts tonight by the way!)

The Ultimate Fighter tonight will be interesting with Kimbo.

Also I think fight night is before tuf.

Each episode had its own plot, which was connected to a main ongoing plot.

I watched about 6 episodes and thought it was good but I couldn't get into it. I think it was the main female actress that I didn't like.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly.

Besides renting firefly do you know where I can stream it. I checked out Hulu and Netflix and neither had it.

Mad Men...unequivocally the best show on TV.

I can rent this but I much prefer to stream it. Do you know where I can watch this.

I do have comcast but don't see it ON DEMAND.

Firefly is on Hulu.

The Wire. Nothing else will move you like The Wire.

 

[Lynchmeister]

Another vote for Arrested Development! Any show with a character named George Michael Bluth (rhymes with booth) has got to be good!

 

[millertime150]

Firefly is on Hulu.

Awesome!! I didn't realize that.

The Wire. Nothing else will move you like The Wire.

I heard that was a great show. Where can I watch this show online??

 

[Emmett]

Mad Men...unequivocally the best show on TV.

Yes this. I just started watching it but OP, it seems to be exactly what you're looking for.

I know there are a lot of seasons to watch, but Top Gear (UK) is a great show if you like cars.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - Dark humor, but very well written and acted. Starring Danny Devito

How I Met Your Mother - Great comedy show. In my opinion, it is better than Friends, dare I say more realistic. Come on, Neil Patrick Harris is in it, how can you pass that up?

I would also highly recommend House. If you don't like medical dramas, at least watch it for Dr. House's wit and sarcasm and Dr. Cuddy's amazing body.

Big Bang Theory - This show is a very funny and contains a lot of intelligent jokes. You might need Wikipedia to understand all the science and math references.

I know it seems like a show that I would really like. Especially the time period. I can't find it online to stream. I may just rent it.

Been a fan of this show for years.

Never watched but I grew up in PA so I always am tempted to watch this show.

How I Met Your Mother - Great comedy show. In my opinion, it is better than Friends, dare I say more realistic. Come on, Neil Patrick Harris is in it, how can you pass that up?
I love this show. I never was a big fan of NPH but now I think he is awesome.

I would also highly recommend House. If you don't like medical dramas, at least watch it for Dr. House's wit and sarcasm and Dr. Cuddy's amazing body.
Not a big fan of medical dramas althouth Dr House is witty.

Big Bang Theory - This show is a very funny and contains a lot of intelligent jokes. You might need Wikipedia to understand all the science and math references.

Another great comedy. I watch this show frequently and have the first season on dvd.

I would also give a recommendation to "House MD". The show keeps a story line going that builds on itself each episode.

USA Network at one point was running several hours a night and I used that to get caught up. Also out of DVD and hulu.

My wife and I just recently went through the first six or seven seasons of The X-Files. Awesome show watched back to back.
