I would suggest Breaking Bad The seasons are pretty short but the shows are completely awesome. There is so much suspense that you are on the edge of your seat wanting more each and every week. Season 3 just finished. I would suggest getting your hands on the first two seasons and just digging in.
watch heroes. it had a great start. i wasn't able to continue watching it though. too lazy to dload. i would highly recommend how i met your mother <-- wait for it... awesome!!!
The Vampire Diaries is more for girls, but 4400 is great! I've seen the whole show and it's wonderful! It's totally thrilling!
Friend is totally horrible! It's so boring and it isn't funny at all! I HATE family guy, I prefer far mre the Simsons. David, If you want a comedy: "How I Met Your Mother" is absolutely GREAT
If you want to watch a show that is as clever as Prison Break a show called White Collar is well worth a look.
Dexter is the one show I recommend everyone check out. But if you want less blood, more laughs, check out Parks and Rec, The Community, and Modern Family. I think they're hilarious.
This is an old thread, I wonder if the OP ended up checking out any shows? I personally LOVE Dexter, it's one of my all time favorite shows. I recently read the first book and they usually say the book is better... in this case I think it's the other way around.
