What was good on TV?

[Barnes]

I ride the train every morning and I watch what I miss on TV the night before on my iPod. I also like to watch shows that I have missed in the past but am running out of ideas for shows to aquire.

Here's what I have recently watched and liked so you get a sense;

Larry Sanders Show
Entourage
Freaks and Geeks
Sports Night
My Name is Earl
Arrested Development
The Office UK
Curb Your Enthusiasm

What are some good shows that have ended or didn't make it? What do you guys like?

It's in all your best interests to keep me occupied on the train before I go psycho on passangers.

[Antithesis]

Hm ... a comedy guy, eh ...

I liked Undeclared, and have been a fan of Northern Exposure lately.

[JiriHrdina]

Off the top of my head here's some under-rated stuff

On Right Now:
The Wire (best cop show in the history of TV period)
Deadwood

Stuff from the Past
American Gothic
Millenium
Quantum Leap
Buffy
Angel
Homicide Life in the Street (second best cop show in the history of TV)
Justice League (yeah its a cartoon but its surprisingly well written)
WKRP in Cin. (Apparently coming on DVD soon!)
The Maxx

Deadwood is good.

Also, I just watched the HBO Rome series....I loved it....really good but really bloody aswell.

SG1....there are 10 seasons and it would fill a lot of your time. (If you are into sci fi).

The Wire is amazing...but you'd have to start from Season 1 to understand anything.

Rome

Greg the Bunny

Oz
Carnivale
Rome
Deadwood


pretty much anything hbo does including the ones you mentioned.

[JiriHrdina]

Ooops, forgot Twin Peaks. Season 2 just released on DVD - if you missed it when it aired its worth checking out.

Northern Exposure is another good one available on DVD.

Deadwood is far and away, the best show I have ever seen... EVER!!

[Superflyer]

One show that I started watching is Smallville. I know it may not be the coolest show out there but I am a big superman fan and this series is really good. I bought season 1 myself and got 2 and 3 for CHristmas. About to get 4.

Also if you can download it is Heros. This show is freaking amazing.

THE ONLY SHOWS ON TV THAT ARE GREAT

[BlackEleven]

You obviously like comedy shows. The NBC version of the Office is also quite good. Another one of my favourites is Futurama. Hilarious nerd humour.

[Barnes]

Thanks for the responses. I am downloading a few of the suggestions now. I do watch the shows that are running now like the Office, Heroes, Lost, and Studio 60.

I am trying to find Northern Exposure, loved that show.
Also remembered that I loved Dr Katz, Newsradio and The Tick.

If you want a good current show get "Dirt" (Courtney Cox's new show) from the FX network.

[fredr123]

How about Andy Ricther Controls the Universe? I really liked that show. Me and two other guys...

[burn_baby_burn]

Kenny vs. Spenny

Unless you have a weak stomach. Seriously, how many reality shows have one guy slipping the other guy LSD when he doesn't expect it? And then film him, high as a kite, for the rest of the day? Priceless.

[Super-Rye]

I've been watching

LOST
Arrested Development
Weeds
Rome
Entourage
South Park
Battlestar Galactica

and of course

Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Prison Break is good, IMO. Not old, and not overlooked, so you probably have already watched Season 1.

Also, I noticed you have two Sorkin shows in your list; Sports Night and Studio 60. The West Wing is a great 7 season series that would kill your bus rides from now until August. Season 1-4 are great.

I'd add Dexter to the list of good shows that nobody knows about.

It is a dark (most of the time) drama which has the main character as a serial killer. I was very skeptical, but thought I would give one episode a try, then another, then another. By Episode 4 or 5 I was totally hooked and had to pull down the whole series. It originally aired on Showtime.

I second the votes for The Shield and The Wire.

Given that I liked Dexter, The Shield, and The Wire, does anyone know of any other shows that I might try next? The Sopranos and Brotherhood are already on the list, but I just havent had time to watch them.
