Holy crap.
Hux made me watch Kings with him (usually I make him watch with me!), and this is like, one of the best things I've ever seen. The King is one of the most believable characters I've ever seen. You love him in one scene, you're horrified by him in the next, you despise him next. I got teary eyed at so many scenes. The speeches are like book-quality material.
I'm aghast that this got cancelled.

"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Flashforward also looks like a good show.
Yeah...like the gift wrapped penis. Wtf was that?! D:
I would fourth Dexter, but dark comedy and grisly drama is not for everyone.
If you can get ahold of the DVD's or the streams and you've not yet seen it, I would recommend Oz. Was the most entertaining prison show I've seen, even if it was a fairly ghetto concept. Might be something you find worth watching, although at times it can be a bit grizzly. It's also got this dude who has a hat that manages to stay on his head despite being on the most crazy angle ever.
I love that. I don't know why but I do.
Apparently that scream was a lot longer than what was shown. I guess they basically told him to just scream as long as possible and filmed it all. I can't wait to get season 4 on DVD just to see if it made the gag reel.YouTube - Supernatural Jensen Ackles The Dean Scream
My name is Earl is pretty fun, you could watch that. It's not that you'll get hooked, but it's fun to watch.
Or hmm.. Ah! I know. NCIS, highly recommended. Never liked the CSI crap, but that one stuck with me.
Also, if you want to watch a Star Trek, watch Enterprise, it's the newest and least dorky imo.
Also, Miriel, so you've watched SG-1 a lot? We should really talk more.
Being Erica - It is a CBC show about this girl who finds this mysterious psychologist that allows her to go into th epast and relieve some of her most regretful moments. I love it.
Merlin - Set in the time before Arthur was king, still the Prince and Uther Pendragon ruled. In Camelot magic is banned and Merlin somehow becomes Arthur's personal manservant. Merlin struggles to hide his gifts from Arthur for fear of his life.
Brothers and Sisters - Follows the Walker family of 5 siblings who are all now adults and their mother. The Walkers are a tight knit group that do have their differences. The show starts with the passing of William Walker, husband to Nora and father to the kids where soon family secrets start to be revealed. In some ways the show is about Nora dealing with William's past while trying to keep not only herself together but also her family, moreover she begins the journey of rediscovery within herself. Nora Walker is portrayed by Sally Fields.
So we gave Supernatural a try, and were pleasantly suprised with how great the show is, especially considering it's on the CW. But it's more like a Buffy than a Gossip Girl. But still, too scary!
We've started watching ridiculous Korean dramas instead.
But I popped into this thread to say that if you guys have never watched it, the West Wing is quite possibly one of the greatest TV shows ever made. It's exquisite. At least up until the 4th season. I'd recommend it to anyone who was interested in picking up a new show. Especially considering there are so many episodes, it'll keep you busy for awhile.
Oh yeah, The West Wing is genius. I just finished it a couple of nights ago, finally. The first four seasons are the best, then there were some staff changes and it took them awhile to get things back on form and, whilst they didn't really get back to earlier standards it was still great TV.
Doctor Who
and
Torchwood.
I'm surprised neither have been suggested as they're both amazing.
Actually, Big D managed to mention both shows, Bastian. I'm going to also third the recommendation myself, since I've been watching Doctor Who lately and enjoying the show very much. I will eventually move on to Torchwood quite soon.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Hee hee. I forget what it was called, but there was this really crazy K-Drama I watched for a few episodes. I think it was about a delivery boy that's actually a girl or something, and I think it had mobsters in it. Do you know that one?
I can't think of any new shows besides the new season of The Office, so I'll continue on the drama note:
I don't think Hana Yori Dango is a thing that Del Murder would like, but it's my favorite drama to come out of Asia. It's Japanese and it's so over the top, I absolutely love it. I tried to make Huxley watch it, but he thought it was too silly. ;_;"
Gokusen is another good J-Drama. It's about a shy young woman who becomes the teacher of a class of delinquents, but it turns out that she's actually the only granddaughter of a major yakuza leader, so she's really tough and she fights anyone who messes with her students. It's really fun. It also has one of my favorite J-Drama actors in it, the main male lead in Hana Yori Dango, I swoon over him!
I'll be following Fringe, Dexter, Flashfowrard, V, Lost, Burn Notice, and Warhouse 13.
The new series Modern Family looks funny. And Eastwick seems interesting.
