I highly recommend a British show called Life on Mars. It's about a policeman who goes into a coma, wakes up in the 1970's and spends the time being in a 70's style cop show whilst trying to get home. Kinda like Quantum Leap vs Starsky and Hutch, pure genius!
Scrubs is pretty good for a sit com. I also like The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The best one though, is The Wire.
I'm a big tv show fan as well, here are a few that haven't been mentioned that I like Greek The Big Bang Theory How I met your mother The Riches My Name is Earl - not sure if it was mentioned Eli Stone Battlestar Galactica Stargate Atlantis (loved SG-1 also) Samantha Who Dirt Rules of Engagement (with David Spade) Gossip Girl One of my most favorite ones was Farscape hope this helps
House! that's to funny man! a doctor who doesnt realy care how to work with patients but always save them!
ditto what Eric just said..........HOUSE is one of the best shows on the tube. another one we really like (it sorta grows on you) is SUPERNATURAL. a friend of mine had the first 2 seasons on DVD and now we're hooked on this show, created & produced & directed by key members of the X-Files team. we are also fans of MEDIUM: Patricia Arquette is the hottest psychic soccer mom on TV. and finally we love AMERICAN IDOL (its the only reality show we'll watch more than 1x)
Skins and Shameless are good, both on Channel 4 in the UK. The Big Bang Theory is pretty funny as well
I watch most of these, they're pretty good. If you are going to start watching Battlestar Galactica, you should know they just started their final season. There is a pretty good article at http://www.infoaddict.com/post/title/battlestar-galactica-the-complete-guide/index.html that can help you get up to date if you decide to go that way.
May be sarah connor chronicles will do a better job for you. Although I dont watch serials but this one quite different from others.
Thanks for all the suggestions, soon good ones on there that i'd forgot about and will check out some of the others too. As for finding time, I work all day so the evening is mine!
I only watch Family Guy and Law & Orders. I used to like watching House but not anymore. Doesn't feel the same.
