Need a new TV series to watch...
Archive: 43 posts
| I've ran out of tv! I currently watch/watched: Fringe, Dexter, 24, Breaking Bad, Criminal Minds, Flash Forward and Doctor Who. and all of them have finished except Doctor Who which finishes next week! My 'get in to bed - watch a programme - sleep' routine is in serious trouble. So that's where you come in...! (Other forms of entertainment aren't up for discussion so don't be making me any offers Comphy) Anyone got any good shows? I'd prefer ones that I could get into and not have like 12 seasons to catch up on. (Usually by that stage they've done everything they can and are just dragging it out for the money anyway!) Something clever and well written! (no one suggest Heroes or Lost!)  | 2010-06-19 22:06:00 Author: jackofcourse  Posts: 1494 |
| BattleStar Galatica! D: It's got like 4 seasons... 6 box sets... 80+ episodes... It'd last you a while unless you get addicted. And trust me, it just transcends TV. I unno if you mean a LIVE show, but you just need to see it. Everyone does. So yeah. don't be fooled by the name, it just is the most, well, human show out there. And the mere thought of the ending makes me burst into tears. D: You must see it! ... So yeah, give it a shot?  | 2010-06-19 22:11:00 Author: RockSauron  Posts: 10882 |
| Citizen Smith, New statesman, Game on, Blakes 7(much better than Battle star galactica ), comic strip. Edit: I can list some more if you like. | 2010-06-19 22:17:00 Author: lifeiscrapislife  Posts: 396 |
| Do not listen to him! You must watch BSG! Do not let misconceptions drive you away from the best story ever! YOU MUST WATCH IT! | 2010-06-19 22:41:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| How 'bout CALIFORNICATION? We finally got Season 2 in Germany and i can't wait for the 3rd. It's one of the best i've ever seen. | 2010-06-19 22:56:00 Author: DeKay1980  Posts: 183 |
| Do not listen to him! You must watch BSG! Do not let misconceptions drive you away from the best story ever! YOU MUST WATCH IT! I haven't watched it lol. | 2010-06-20 01:46:00 Author: lifeiscrapislife Posts: 396 |
| Exactly, so do not assume from the name it sucks. Because it is the single best story out there. I wish I could erase my memory and watch it over again. :kz: | 2010-06-20 01:47:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |

I wish I could erase my memory and watch it over again. :kz: Is true like they say dont judge a book by its cover most of the time. Im still laughing that you ran out of TV lololol Also is true I think you should see battle star is kinda of nice ps: if you want to see a series that has 12 seasons see naruto lol It will never end, ever! I stop seeing it because of that | 2010-06-20 02:00:00 Author: Arnald23  Posts: 1843 |
ARG, you reminded me that Flashforward was cancelled  I have no shows in mind right now... | 2010-06-20 02:18:00 Author: Heckboy88  Posts: 179 |
| Castle FTW. | 2010-06-20 04:06:00 Author: Testudini  Posts: 3262 |
| To be honest, most of the good shows are off the air. Some good ones like Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air are still syndicated, but there are good ones on air, like NCIS. Some good ones which recently went off air are Lost, BS G as Rock mentioned, Monk, among others, which you can get on DVD and easily enjoy. The shows I mentioned have a lot of seasons, like around 5-8. | 2010-06-20 04:58:00 Author: Astrosimi  Posts: 2046 |
| I wish I could help you, but if I tried, you'd get only Johnny Test. The rest you probably wouldn't watch at your age (e.g. Codename: Kids Next Door(which, though the series is finished, is still running on Cartoon Network)) | 2010-06-20 06:38:00 Author: JspOt  Posts: 3607 |
| Just started on FX are Re-Runs of Robot Chicken! | 2010-06-20 11:29:00 Author: Nurolight  Posts: 918 |
| Oh by the way guys it doesn't have to actually be on TV right now...just anything that's good and relatively newish will do! Keep 'em coming! | 2010-06-20 11:39:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| I watched season one (the urban setting) of "The Wire" on TV and I loved it. It was on @ midnight every week, and I couldn't stop watching it even though I needed to get up @ 4:30 am the next morning. Would have been even better without all the ads. I didn't really like season 2 dock storyline though. Also "Flight of the Conchords" is really funny. Both seasons. Plus if you can find it (it's a NZ show): "Leigh Harts Mysterious Planet". The host/writer has a unique sense of humor, and he plays a host of a NZ doco team uncovering mysteries about things like Bigfoot and Roswell, very funny. Part one of bigfoot ep. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgFk3pUiXDI) EDIT: And "Samurai Jack" is my favourite cartoon of all time. It has a film like pace unlike most hyperactive cartoons. Many people missed it. | 2010-06-20 11:45:00 Author: midnight_heist  Posts: 2513 |
| The Wire is actually one I have been considering myself. That is supposed to be very good | 2010-06-20 11:48:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| phsycoville is starting up again soon. If not I suggest frasier | 2010-06-20 11:52:00 Author: flamingemu  Posts: 1872 |
| The Wire is actually one I have been considering myself. That is supposed to be very good Looking at the shows you noted in your OP, it's a safe bet you'll like it. | 2010-06-20 11:52:00 Author: midnight_heist Posts: 2513 |
| Why are we still arguing! D: BSG :kz: | 2010-06-20 13:05:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| Why are we still arguing! D: BSG :kz: It's definitely possibillity! I need more than 1 anyway so let's keep going! Oh and FYI, Breaking Bad is the best show on television by far! | 2010-06-20 13:10:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| BSG is all you need. :kz: ... or not, but still. Trust me. It is worth it. ... and with that I'll stop bothering you unless you want me to say anything else. /runs | 2010-06-20 13:12:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| The only shows i got into were: Blue Collar (about a criminal helping out the police to capture other criminals) Samurai Champloo (Amazing Anime) Psyche (Watched a FEW but its about this guy that uses his Good Eye to solve crimes while telling everyone hes psychic) Fullmetal Alchemist (Amazing Anime, with religion on the side) Heroes (Superheros) Lost was dumb. Jericho (Falllout 3 :kz The Boondocks (roflmao) dont want to make a big post :U | 2010-06-20 23:26:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| Watching sporadic episodes of House has entertained me greatly so far this summer. Also, I approve of Fringe. LOST is (mostly) fantastic, watch the pilot episode and if you don't like it, well... I guess everyone has their own tastes but yours are wrong. Too bad it's the summer... the greatest show on TV right now is Wipeout. | 2010-06-21 20:38:00 Author: monstahr  Posts: 1361 |
Have you seen Prison Break yet? The first season is awesome and should get you addicted enough to watch the other 3 seasons. Its not on TV anymore, but you can easily download or get the boxsets. I've seen the full serie about 3 times now and I still love it  | 2010-06-21 21:15:00 Author: Kn0cked-0ut  Posts: 562 |
| I'd say Bleach or One Piece, their manga and you can't really watch them on TV so eh.....Sorry if that was no use Oh, and did you see Doctor Who last week jack? Oh god what happens next  *wees with antisipation Pandorica will do something......cool... | 2010-06-21 21:21:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Battle Star Galatic/sniped ... seriously. I'd KILL to be able to watch it without knowing anything | 2010-06-21 21:30:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| There's only one show you need: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES yes I watch desperate housewives so what! | 2010-06-21 22:01:00 Author: Kern  Posts: 5078 |
| Battle Star Galatic/sniped ... seriously. I'd KILL to be able to watch it without knowing anything This almost makes watching it a scary thought, will we be desperate to rewatch with wiped memories?! Even willing to Kill? They had that weird pill that wiped bad memories from rats, maybe in the future they can target your BSG memories and let you have your wish. Although this notion is totally strange to me.. I don't watch TV... | 2010-06-21 22:13:00 Author: OneEyedBanshee  Posts: 1370 |
| I don't watch TV... Same, too busy playing on my PS3 or sitting in front of my Mac I got a life too, sometimes I go outside my house | 2010-06-21 22:29:00 Author: Alec  Posts: 3871 |
| Oh, if you're willing - on Cartoon Network, check out Adventure Time. Each is episode is just 12 minutes or so so it's not a huge time investment. I love it. | 2010-06-22 02:49:00 Author: monstahr Posts: 1361 |
| Are you into or willing to give anime a try? Really good for all ages (some )Do you like action/ gore/ comedy/ mystery/ other genres? Does it have to be in english or can you understand other languages like spanish or french? Would you mind if the series was subtitled in english fomr any other language? Do you prefer live action/ animated/ both/ or just don't care as long as its good? I got a great list of really good series, but i'm asking that for the sake of not makeing a gigant list, and find something more to your taste. Of course if you don't really care and would like to try something different, that can be arranged too. | 2010-06-23 07:59:00 Author: Silverleon  Posts: 6707 |
| Well, the new series of the IT Crowd starts tomorrow "I came here to drink milk, and kick ***. And I've just finished my milk." | 2010-06-23 08:04:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Scrubs. It has 9 seasons so far (9th is kinda a new story all together, but 8 seasons is still a lot of episodes.) Now, I know it is not on the same sort of cliffhanger level as 24 or Flashforward but it is entertaining and each episode (1 two parter) has it's own moral/message. I think it is great! Seasons 1 to 8 will last you for a while until you find something you'd prefer to watch. | 2010-06-23 22:48:00 Author: Jedi_1993  Posts: 1518 |
| Okay, time to reply The type of stuff I'm after is kinda like the stuff I posted in the OP, like that kind of drama, 45 minute episode type thing. I watch loads of sitcoms and stuff already and don't really class them as the same. They're just things to keep you amused for half an hour rather than something that I will watch intently and be dying to see the next episode when it's over I'm getting The Wire at the minute, and think Battle Star Whatsitsface will be next (if only to shut Rock up  ) but I'm still open to more suggestions. As you can see, I was watching quite a lot of shows at once, so there's definitely room for more Dexter and Breading Bad are probably my top two at the minute. While Dexter is probably my favourite, there's no doubt that Breaking Bad is better. That is without doubt the best TV show on at the moment (well, it's just finished). The story is absolutely fantastic, so well written and the characters are actually believable and real. The subtle black comedy is also brilliant. | 2010-06-23 23:08:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| You better watch BattleStar Galatica :kz: It's the best drama out there, it transcends TV! ... although some people hate the ending, I do think it makes the show... ah well. /runs | 2010-06-23 23:09:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| I'll watch Battle Star Whatsitsface if you watch Breaking Bad and Dexter | 2010-06-23 23:11:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| Have you tried Leverage? | 2010-06-24 00:44:00 Author: Silver39  Posts: 1703 |
| Sorry to bump but I can recommend a documentary (if you like those kind of things). It's called 'Bear Grylls: Born Survivor'. It's not a TV series but hey, it's more entertaining then one. | 2010-06-27 23:41:00 Author: AgentBanana  Posts: 511 |
| Smallville!!! Or Stargate!! They are both awesome. Smallville is superman and Stargate is sci-fi which is the best, I loved it! Or, I'm not sure if you would have heard of 'Merlin'. I've never seen it, but I've seen the ads for it on Tv and everyone one of my friends that watches it, thinks it's incredible. | 2010-06-28 00:46:00 Author: Ainsl3y_xo  Posts: 478 |
| Survivorman > Bear yuvfyfcfdfdfyfdsfjfdsjfdesdfkfdsfjkfdsdj (at tis point in my post i realized tat te two keys between f and j are broken on my keyboard. lovely!) | 2010-06-28 01:51:00 Author: monstahr Posts: 1361 |
| Smallville is awesome!! Smallville is my perfect choice, but everyone is different and has a different point of view.. | 2011-03-04 14:42:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Don't know if it's mentioned (don't have time to read through previous suggestions); But my favourite series in recent years would be The Walking Dead; | 2011-03-04 15:00:00 Author: Macnme  Posts: 1970 |
| Smallville is awesome!! Smallville is my perfect choice, but everyone is different and has a different point of view.. You like Smallville? I would never have guessed! It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is one of my favourite sitcoms in recent years. It's into its sixth season but I don't think that matters so much. Edit: Bit of a big bump there... | 2011-03-04 15:06:00 Author: Rhys125  Posts: 841 |
