For my 17th pick, Frozen TV Dinner is happy to select, from the USA Network, in the Comedy (Open) category, Psych.

Of the shows I've picked previously, there have been many different reasons for starting to watch them: critical acclaim; interesting promos; recommendations from friends and family; etc. This is the only show I started watching because I was on an airplane. Air Canada has an on-demand seat back entertainment system in its planes, and last year, I had to make a few trips to Ottawa within a short period of time. It didn't take long to watch every movie in the system, so then I started searching for tv shows I had never seen. Lo and behold, one of the tv shows that was available was Psych. I had never heard of the show before, but I gave it a try, and loved what I saw, so when I reached solid ground, I "found" the rest of the series and have been hooked ever since. Oddly, the show is shot in Vancouver, but doesn't air anywhere in Canada, at least I haven't been able to find it.

Did anyone else catch the recent episode "Tuesday the 17th?" It's season 3 episode 15.

My stomach still hurts from laughing. HILARIOUS.

Glad you bumped this thread, DFF.... I've recently entered the world of The Wire. If only I knew then what I know now.... I would definitely have taken it with my first pick.

What an incredible show. I cannot believe it took me so long to get into it. It is even more complex, challenging, and ultimately rewarding than The Sopranos.

Just finished season 3 and can't wait to get my hands on season 4. Hooked is what I am!

I'm working on getting started on it as well. I watched the pilot a month ago...need to keep going!

Season 4 is absolutely amazing. The cold opening to the first episode is one of the best scenes of the series. Plus your appreciation for it will grow as you watch the events of the season unfold.

Remember this when you get to that point in your watching. I'm jealous of both of you!
