    Can you guys recommend me some TV shows?

    With school winding down and me entering my last (hopefully) incarnation of cocoon mode, I'm going to have a lot of free time. I'm on a very physically and mentally draining fitness regimen, so I would like to spend my time just relaxing and playing video games or watching TV.

    Anyway, here are some of the series that I have watched and greatly enjoyed:
    The Wire, Twin Peaks, Lost, Prison Break, Breaking Bad (can't wait for the rest of season 5!), and some of Dexter (got bored around season 5).

    I also really like Top Gear (the original, the American one is complete shit), Seinfeld, Friends, the Simpsons, and Arrested Development (new ones next month!).

    Thank you for your time.

      The Mentalist is solid. A lot of filler episodes but the underlying plot is interesting. If you watch the first episode you'll already know if you like it or not.

        Archer is pretty funny. Also, you can't go wrong with The Sopranos (though The Wire trumps all).

            The Wire is number 1
            The Sopranos is brilliant
            The Shield is amazing

            True blood was good for 2 seasons
            Dexter jumped the shark after Season 6

              Pawn Stars is a guilty pleasure of mine. I have seen every episode up until the recent string.

              Gah, yeah, I need to commit to watching The Sopranos.

              Some of my friends rave about TPB, is it really that funny? I'll have to check it out. I believe I saw it on Netflix too; so I wouldn't have to "obtain" it.

              That does it. I'm going to watch The Sopranos. Will have to check out The Shield as well. And yeah, I got really bored with Dexter midway through season 5. I started surfing forums while watching and don't even remember what happens. Omg, can't wait for BB to start back up. Best cliffhanger of all time.

                Boston Legal also, if you are in to court room drama type shows. Great characters, and very well written!

                  BLUE MOUNTAIN STATE!
                  Maybe walking dead if you're into that stuff.
                  Game of Thrones? Heard it was good but never watched it.

                    I haven't really watched one from the beginning. I'll give it a go.

                    Yeah, I've been meaning to watch Walking Dead but I think I want to read the books before I watch GoT. I'll add Blue Mountain State to my list; thanks, brah.

                      .
                      Yeah, it's really good. It started out really low budget. Since there is very little continuity between seasons, I would suggest starting with Season 5 to get a taste for it.

                        Maybe try Curb Your Enthusiasm if you like Seinfeld, it's created by and stars Larry David (the co-creator of Seinfeld)
