i have gone through 20/45 episodes. this is pretty solid. def recommend it.

Storage Wars rules.

i also like storage wars.

How is Boardwalk Empire? I have not seen one single episode yet.

I loved it. The climax of the season was a little anti-climactic imo, but overall it was great and I think they are set up great for season 2

i loved it too, the last half of the season was definitely better than the first half though.

Anyone watching "Workaholics" ? any good ?

Tried and didn't like:
Fringe
Mad Men

Other stuff I've seen too, those are just my most recent.
Not sure what to try next. Using netflix, don't really ever download shows so I've only seen the seasons that have been released on disc.

In my queue I have The Walking Dead, The Pacific, and The Sopranos. Been wanting to see Sopranos for awhile, but knocking out some smaller stuff first since there are so many eps in Sopranos.

Any other suggestions?

Id suggest not watching the Walking Dead and watch Parks and Rec.

Walking Dead is worth watching, IMO, and only 6 episodes.

Sopranos is a must watch

Couple additional comedy suggestions - Modern Family, 30 Rock, or TBBT.

I haven't seen The Sopranos either, kinda embarrassing tbh. With this being finale week for most shows, I guess it'd be a good time to start on that.

For comedy, I'd agree with Parks & Rec and add Archer. If you wind up enjoying Archer, try Frisky Dingo, but the former is much less strange and therefore a better intro to Adam Reed's stuff. Curb and It's Always Sunny are also pretty good.

A few people really enjoyed The Walking Dead, but it seems like most 2+2'ers agreed that the pilot episode was great and it went downhill pretty quickly after that.

I disagree on Dexter (I don't like the 3rd or 5th seasons at all) and Mad Men (it's slow, but I like it a lot), so I don't know how much our taste in drama overlaps, but I'll recommend Deadwood, The Shield, and Six Feet Under. Oh, and Veronica Mars. There's nothing very similar to it on your list of shows, but it's really good, so why not.

So he decided to re-imagine Sports Night with the host at the West Wing briefing room/press pool. And then toss in a bit of Studio 60.


All on the first night released, and agree on the latter.

Alison Pill and Olivia Munn signed on to Sorkin's new show. Pill was fantastic on In Treatment.

Fine with me. Every show Sorkin has written has been behind the scenes and all 3 shows have been phenomenal.

sports night is good to very good, i dunno about phenomenal. studio 60? lol

I loved the sh*t out of Studio 60 and Sports Night was phenomenal when it was airing, but I don't ever want to watch it again. I'll go Very Good + Sabrina Lloyd = Phenomenal.

Studio 60 had a phenomenal pilot but lost its way really really quickly.

I would have kept watching it forever cause I'm a Sorkin fan boy and there was def some good stuff in there, but it was not a phenomenal series.

SportsNight, on the other hand, most def was.

+1 zzz concept.

but thank goodness it's on HBO at least.

DukeSucks,

Based on your list I would recommend The Shield and Six Feet Under.

Had some time on my hands and used some suggestions from this thread to start some shows. Thank you for VM, I too was surprised that I liked this. A teenage PI in a high school setting is not my demographic at all but it has pulled me in like an updated Twin Peaks. <3 Kristen Bell now and I understand why people were excited to see her enter Party Down.

Party Down was a mixed bag but overall good recommendation. My problem was with S1 which almost made me not watch S2 which was hilarious. S1 had only a handful of funny spots which was not worth the wait but fairly necessary to understand some of the material in S2. I was lucky to randomly catch the football draft episode when it originally aired on Starz so I knew the potential for Party Down to be absolutely hilarious, that ep alone kept me plowing through till I landed safely in S2.

Freaks and Geeks, sorry it sucks. Critically acclaimed, yes I know... Where to start, so much cliche, so much terrible acting, and acting has to be pretty bad for my untrained eyes to notice. It was not all bad but about 2/3s of the way through I had to fast forward through every part involving the little brother and his friends (yes Martin Starr was occasionally really funny but not worth suffering through all the wanna be "the wonder years" storylines).

Linda Cardellini is pretty good and I can see that she was carrying the show for those types that liked Juno, yes I also developed a crush on her. The rest of the freaks were pretty horrible and painful to watch but I could at least stomach that unlike the geeks. The show had its moments but for the majority of it the situations were either highly predictable and unrealistic I might have well googled after school specials from the 80's.

All that being said I watched all 18 episodes. Start the flaming

I still refuse to watch 30 Rock out of protest for Studio 60 going away.

Sports night was great, but was on the air right after that Seinfeld, Friends everything has to have a laugh track format. If you can keep that out of your head the show is phenomenal. If it came on the air three years later it would have had a long run.

well you're certainly showing them!

Love storage wars

I started watching 24 from S4 onwards. I was bored in the middle of last week so I decided to watch the 1st season, half way through and wow it is really good.
