TV Shows

[Devil Wears Prado]

I haven't watched too many TV shows before since I only like to watch it when I get to watch every episode since the beginning, but I'm starting to become fans of more and more TV shows now and am starting to watch more of them.

The list of TV Shows that I like are...
Fringe
House
Supernatural
The Office
Lincoln Heights (I haven't watched this in a year though, I wonder if I'll still like it...)

I'm looking for suggestions for whatever TV shows you guys may like... I heard Dexter was good, but I haven't heard much about it before.

[Chris_Moderato]

I usually don't watch many shows unless I get them on Netflix, for the same reason you mentioned (watching them from the start), but my wife and I have gone through quite a few shows in recent years.

Deadwood
The Wire
Sopranos
Dexter
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Six Feet Under
Lost

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. All very good shows.

[Dreamscape]

How I Met Your Mother
The Big Bang Theory
24
Scrubs
The Office
My Name is Earl
NCIS

...if you watch these shows, you are cool. If not, you know what the problem is.

[ScooterBrave]

Burn Notice
Royal Pains
Monk
Psych
Bones
NCIS
Army Wives (my wife makes me and I am secure enough to admit it)

As far as regular programs, that's about all I have time for. Other than that, I look for baseball or a good movie.

[Hillbilly]

The Sopranos is the best tv show I have ever followed, but I'm a sucker for a good mob story.
I also got into Sons of Anarchy last year, and can't wait for season 2 this fall. And I think I'm the only person in America that saw every (or any) episode of Life on Mars on ABC before it was cancelled. Gotta love Harvey Keitel and Michael Imperioli.

I would like to see:
-The Wire
-The Shield
-Deadwood
-Breaking Bad

I couldn't get into Life on Mars. I gave it a try for a handful of episodes, but then I noticed I never wanted to watch any of the rest of them I had stored up on my DVR, so I just deleted them.

IMO, The Wire is better than The Sopranos, and just maybe the best show ever put on TV. Deadwood is also excellent (although I'd slot it just below The Sopranos). I've not watched The Shield or Breaking Bad.

[Lauren T.]

I watch a lot of reruns of shows that are no longer in production. The new shows I keep tabs on are...

The Office
Mad Men
Top Chef
Project Runway
ANTM
Make Me A Supermodel
The Simpsons (sometimes)

I'd watch Ninja Warrior if we had the next tier of cable! We used to have it, but when they changed the packages, we lost G4. Sadness. In defense of the reality shows, I don't watch the dating ones (Bachelor, etc.), but I do enjoy the ones that could be classified as "competitive reality" -- watching chefs cook, models model, designers design, and so on. I could deal without them all living in the same house and watching the house-drama, but I do like the actual competition.

[Hillbilly]

IMO, The Wire is better than The Sopranos, and just maybe the best show ever put on TV.

I keep hearing that and that's the reason I put it at the top of my "to do" list. I didn't get into The Sopranos until A&E started re-airing it. (No HBO in college when the series started.) After catching up on the first 2 seasons I started buying them on DVD. Somehow, I managed to avoid any spoilers until I completed the last season earlier this year.

[The Rap]

I guess being home so much leads me to watch a lot of shows. My favorites though are:

NCIS
Criminal Minds
Fringe
24
Saving Grace
Hawthorne
The Closer
True Blood
Burn Notice
The Daily Show
Comedy Central StandUps
The Bill Maher Show

There is more but I also think The Wire is the best show I have seen on TV but that said I believe that HBO is amazing with the various series they have put on. I was particularly nuts about Carnival.

[slowride]

real quick:

Friday Night Lights
The Office
30 Rock
My Name is Earl
Rescue Me
Entourage

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

The Wire
Dexter
Deadwood
Weeds
The Shield
Six Feet Under
Are all very well written intelligent shows I'm sure you would enjoy.
Throw in Firefly also if you can handle Sci-Fi.

I like watching all the way thru also. I just wait for the finale then find the torrent for the complete set.

[Freddy_Ballgame]

I follow Burn Notice these days. Many shows listed were great. I would reccommend Deadwood, being forewarned their tagline was accurate "They didn't call it the badlands for nothing!" The language was enough to shock most folks I know and put too many of them off. It was great and HBO owes us a conclusion! The Sopranos was great and the only weak episodes were usually the season enders. The Wire was excellent, but I lost interest in a season or two that didn't offer a story line as strong as the first season. The Shield was also excellent. My Name is Earl is a scream. I watch True Blood, but frankly, I enjoy the theme song more than most of the episodes. HBO hires "critics" to blow up all of their shows and most of the build-up is pure horsecrap. Wasting a couple of hours on "John From Cincinatti" will document this, as would Eastbound and Down. The same folks raving about these are the same liars trying to convince me that Anna Paquin is a real knockout. She isn't.

I beg to differ sir!

[Chris_Moderato]

I beg to differ sir!

I like Anna Paquin too, and I hate that True Blood is growing on me, although it still makes me cringe sometimes with it's cheesy nonsense.

[bravos4evr]

I just can't watch anything vampire anymore unless it's like Blade the movies. The rest of it is such cornball over-romanticized crap... it's just retarded.

Vampires have replaced the Harlequin Romance novels for big girls. lonely house wives and teenagers apparently.

Hmmm, whom else can I insult today! :-)

[Wahoo]

real quick:

Friday Night Lights
The Office
30 Rock
My Name is Earl
Rescue Me
Entourage

I like your taste in TV.

[Lauren T.]

Brilliant. If I was the teacher from A Christmas Story, this theme would get an A+++++++++++ :D

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

For a real vampire film you should check out Let The Right One In. You have to read subtitles, but it was one of the best movies that came out last year. It's not an action movie though, more of a horror/drama flick. I'm not much of an Anime fan, but Vampire Hunter D is really good stuff too.

I liked the first couple season of rescue me, but it went of the rails last season IMO. That and the fact that every time I see Denis Leary it pisses me off thinking about how he stole his entire act from Bill Hicks.

[The Rap]

I beg to differ because I got into Rescue Me about a year into the show. Leary is the key to its success as he is one of the main writers, sometimes producer and or director and a true revelation as an actor. I remember Bill Hicks very well and no way do I see Dennis as ripping him off.

One thing really puzzled me about something I watched in the middle of the night. Richard Jenni was always one of my favorite comedians and I was stunned when he committed suicide a couple of years ago. They were showing one of his special and there was a piece he dd on Michael Jackson which was hysterical when MJ was alive but I was surprised HBO shoed it after his death. Seemed like bad taste to me.

Maybe HBO is as tired of the media deification of Michael Jackson as the rest of us.

The King of Pop is dead! Why couldn't he have dragged Pop music with him?!

It's not a debate. Google leary and hicks on youtube. Theres plenty of videos showing clips of leary stealing Hicks work with timestamps to show Hicks did it years earlier.

[Chris_Moderato]

I just finished Season 1 of Mad Men the other day, and I am really anticipating the arrival of Season 2 tomorrow. What a great show! I'd heard it was good, but damn, this show is excellent. I highly recommend it, for whatever that's worth.

I LOVE Mad Men. Season 2 is free on Comcast OnDemand right now, I guess to get people geared up for S3 starting next month. Exciting!

Dexter
Life

Better off Ted is awesome! I love Portia de Rossi.

[Hobbes]

I love Portia de Rossi.
Which reminds me of one of the best comedies on TV ever...Arrested Development.

It's not on the air anymore (a crime), but it's definitely worth renting the past seasons.

Or purchasing! Or at least, watching Will Arnett's dramatic reading of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret... (http://jezebel.com/5319811/will-arnetts-dramatic-reading-of-are-you-there-god-its-me-margaret) :D

I own the entire series. What a brilliant production it was. I miss it.

[The Rap]

I have recently fallen for a new show (to me) which I think is really terrific. "Cold Case" has a great cast and terrific stories.

[FrankEC]

Has anybody else here been watching the new HBO show, Hung? It's really starting to grow on me. It seems to be getting better every week.

[Hobbes]

The commercials made it appear to be about a male prostitute. I decided to pass.

[The Rap]

Yea but who flies under the radar possibly more than anyone? When you think prostitute does it ever you think of a male? I started to watch it but was bored but might give it another chance.

[Hobbes]

I don't particularly care about the trials and tribulations of a male prostitute (nor a female one for that matter). It just didn't seem like a particularly appealing premise.

[FrankEC]

Well, it's about more than just a male prostitute. He's actually a high school coach/teacher and former Braves prospect (I swear it's in the show) who falls on really hard times. His wife leaves him admittedly for a guy with more money, he has a house fire but forgot to pay the insurance and is living in a tent in his backyard. As a result, his teenage kids, whom he loves, have to move in with their mother. So, he turns to prostitution as a way out. It's really about how far a guy is willing to go for his kids.

The comedy part comes in the fact that both he and his pimp are new to the business and really have little to no idea what they're doing.

I agree, Rap, that the first few episodes were kind of boring, but the last 2 have actually been pretty good, particularly this week's episode.

[Devil Wears Prado]

Dexter's a good show. Sometimes, there are really boring parts and plots but other than that, it's a series I could bare watching unlike most of the TV shows out today.

I'm on the second episode of the third and most recently aired season. After this, I'll be watching the Unit.

[ScooterBrave]

Summer Finale of Burn Notice was great, although not entirely unexpected conclusion.

Can't wait for next season.

Dexter is by far my favorite TV show out there. Season 2 was my least favorite, but it was still good. I really enjoyed season 3. Let me know how you like it as you get through more episodes.

[Lauren T.]

I am certainly NOT in the target demographic for the show, but America's Best Dance Crew started season 4 tonight on MTV, and I'm totally hooked again. :D

[Freddy_Ballgame]

I tend to see Hung as another of HBO's efforts at going to the lowest level to try and attract and audience. Then of course they have those "critics" who claim it's the greatest thing since canned beer. I like Thomas Jane, but this show is rather weak. It isn't as boring as their Iraq war show but it's close.
They should've called it Junk!

[Lauren T.]

From the most recent issue of New York Magazine:

That is SO cool. Why don't the Braves do anything like this?!

[crazzycat]

I give my voice to House M.D. as my favorite TV show i adore it

[The Rap]

I think the new hottest show will be White Collar which debuted last night. Great storyline and the lead star might be the best looking guy on TV today.

[Chris_Moderato]

Clearly you've not met Don Draper.

I'd like to check out White Collar though.

[The Rap]

C'mon, I know who Don Draper is. There is a print advertisment out for the White Collar show and has pic of its star. He is wearing a navy suit, white shirt and an electric blue tie. The most amazing thing is how the color of his eyes matches his tie. I'm as straight as they come but I think this guy is unreal good looking.

[Lauren T.]

There's this thing called Photoshop? You can make eyes or a tie whatever color you want. ;)

This picture's nice, though:

Yea but if you have seen Matt other than on the show you know he has incredibly blue eyes.

[Chris_Moderato]

Dude, gay.

[HaRdCoReBrAvEsFaN]

the debut of white collar was pretty good...def a show worth keeping up with for another few episodes...

[The Rap]

Dude, gay.

yea right. Married three times to younger women and curnly with a girlfriend half my age. Nice try.

[Chris_Moderato]

yea right. Married three times to younger women and curnly with a girlfriend half my age. Nice try.

Getting curnly with a girl!? Rap, you sick bastard! That's filthy, but I've heard it is definitely it's worth it.

Seriously, man, it was a joke. Although I'm not sure how repeatedly robbing the cradle factors into all this...

I digress. Anyone else have any reviews of White Collar?

[Andy G.]

I really like Community. It's the new show in NBC's Thursday night lineup.

[Lauren T.]

Community's hilarious. I wish Abed had been in my life years ago. :D

[Chris_Moderato]

I really like Community. It's the new show in NBC's Thursday night lineup.

The bits I have seen have been really good, but I have class Thursday night and never remember to watch it until I see Joel McHale on The Soup Friday night. I need to get on that, man.

[The Rap]

Chris, we are friends so understand that this is over the internet so how would I know if you are joking or not?

[Hobbes]

Chris, we are friends so understand that this is over the internet so how would I know if you are joking or not?
Actually, saying "Dude, gay" is obviously a joke, although perhaps more obvious to folks of a younger generation (no offense intended).

[Hobbes]

Community's hilarious. I wish Abed had been in my life years ago. :D

I've only seen the pilot episode as of yet. I've got several backed up on my DVR.

[Andy G.]

Community's hilarious. I wish Abed had been in my life years ago. :D
Totally agree. Abed had, what, two lines last week? And they were still the best lines in the episode.

The bits I have seen have been really good, but I have class Thursday night and never remember to watch it until I see Joel McHale on The Soup Friday night. I need to get on that, man.
I didn't realize he was the guy from The Soup at first. I'd only watched that show a few times, but I've caught the past three weeks or so. Very entertaining. :D

[Dreamscape]

I had the same reaction to the first few episodes of Community that I did with Parks and Recreation.

"Eiiii."

Basically, I had high hopes for both, but after a few episodes, I was just not interested. Maybe both have gotten better, but there were a lot of jokes that just didn't land with both.

And I only realized a few days ago that My Name is Earl was cancelled. I was rather disappointed that it wasn't being held back for a midseason run. I miss that show.

[Chris_Moderato]

I really wanted to like My Name Is Earl, as a long-time Jason Lee fan, but it just never happened for me.

I think I like Community so much because I went to a satellite campus of a larger university for most of college. It was "community college"-like in setting, but not in courseload. You had the same people in classes over and over, there was one common break room, and it was as diverse in background as you see on Community. It kinda makes me miss those days -- getting a fruit cup out of the vending machine during breaks, gossiping with an African-American woman twice my age about what her cousin is up to, rarely seeing people outside of school, etc. :D

I've tried Parks & Rec twice, and didn't like either episode I saw. I won't miss MNiE -- the schtick was getting old, and now that it's syndicated it's bugging me more.

[Hobbes]

I've tried Parks & Rec twice, and didn't like either episode I saw.
Same here. Two episodes...meh.

I won't miss MNiE -- the schtick was getting old
I liked My Name is Earl, but agree that the "schtick was getting old".

[Andy G.]

Also, another new show that I think is pretty funny is Modern Family. Anybody here watch that one? It comes on tonight on ABC.

[JanShan12]

We LOVE Modern Family! So funny!!!

Parks & Recreation has improved a ton this season. The old format is gone and the jokes are hilarious.

I watched the first three episodes of Community and was done. I love Joel McHale, but the rest of the cast bored me and seemed to follow the same format as too many other shows.

[Lauren T.]

Modern Family is really good! The kid who plays Manny looks familiar, but I looked at his IMDB and didn't recognize anything. *shrug*

[The Rap]

I was stunned this week when I learned finally where I saw Charley Hunnam who plays Jax on Sons of Anarchy before; Amazing that he is an English actor and played Nicholas Nickleby in a film I saw a few years ago.

What a cliff-hanger of a season finale, last night. As a relatively new father myself, the last 10 minutes of the episode was like watching my worst nightmare unfold. A lot of loose ends were left dangling for season 3. It's going to be a long 9 months of waiting for SOA fans.

[The Rap]

I agree totally. What a nightmare to watch if you have a kid. I don't really understand what the Irish guy has in mind though. If he wanted revenge then kill the kid but what is he thinking now? that he is going to raise the kid as his own?

[Andy G.]

I was pleasantly surprised with the season premiere of Scrubs last night. Did you catch it Dream? What did you think? Honestly, last season sort of felt like the show had run it's course, and it was time for it to end. I didn't have high expectations for the new format, but it might work. The new cast members are pretty funny.

The true test will be once Zach Braff leaves. Last I heard he had signed on for only six episodes to help the show transition into it's new format.

I did watch it and liked it quite a lot. It was like watching season one all over again. I miss some of the other interns they didn't bring back (Mahoney the sole exception). But it felt like goofy Scrubs instead of the overserious stuff the show went to in recent seasons. I like the direction.

I don't know what he's thinking, but I read an interview with Kurt Sutter yesterday and he said SAMCRO will be visiting Belfast, Ireland in season 3.

He also said Johnny Lewis (Half-Sack) was unhappy with the show, so he got out of his contract. That is why they killed off his character.

[Lauren T.]

I was pleasantly surprised with the season premiere of Scrubs last night.
I didn't know it was back until yesterday morning -- I'll try to catch it online. I heard Carla isn't back? Carla & Turk were by far my favorites. How is the show going to work without Carla? Are they going to mention her occasionally or pretend she and Turk never got married? (Shows have done crazier things!)

Someone needs to cut the head off of that zombie show. It was marginally funny at its best.

Mmmmm season 3 sounds great! I felt bad when they killed half-sack because he was a very interesting character and lent some innocence to the gang/club.

[Lauren T.]

Turk was always the best part for me, and I see a lot of myself in Carla. JD and Elliot could have permanently left the show in the second episode and I'd be okay with that. :D

Well, the hospital was torn down and rebuilt on a medical school's campus. Turk and Dr. Cox are teachers there now. J.D. is too, but like I said he's only signed on for six episodes(last I heard).

I guess they'll just carry on without ever mentioning what happened to Carla, or they could make a tiny scene explaining why she's not there like they did with the Janitor last week.

[Lauren T.]

No Dr. Jan Itor? I might not watch, then. I really liked him.

[Andy G.]

Yeah, he was hilarious. The actor that played the janitor is on that new show, The Middle, with the lady from Everybody Loves Raymond.

[Lauren T.]

When I saw Mean Girls, I didn't know Neil Flynn played LiLo's dad. I said "Janitor!" aloud in the theatre when he came on screen and that produced a few giggles from the people around me. Good times. :D

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I love SOA but I have always despised Jax's character, or mor elikely actor, since he always seemed like a whimp trying to act like he's tough. Now that I know he's a british actor, it makes more sense LoL.

Modern Family is great, I agree there. Community is good too, the first 4 or 5 episodes were so-so but then the writing took off. I like Lie to me and Dexter also.

[Hillbilly]

Mmmmm season 3 sounds great! I felt bad when they killed half-sack because he was a very interesting character and lent some innocence to the gang/club.



Here's a link to that interview with Kurt Sutter (http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/2009/12/sons-of-anarchy-kurt-sutter-season-two.html). It gives good insight to Sutter's thought process behind season 2 and his plans for season 3. It's safe. No spoilers.

[The Rap]

I just read the interview and even posted a comment about what is bothering me; Cameron took Abel because he overheard Stahl saying that Gemma shot his kid. This is the same Stahl that Cameron told his kid to kill. Wouldn't he want to have it confirmed. Instaed he exacts his revenge against the very person and group that saved his life at their own risk?

[jlcct]

I've been watching The Walking Dead on AMC recently. The series is only two episodes in but it's sooo awesome so far. I don't usually remember when a t.v. show airs a new episode, normally I just pull up On Demand and try to catch all the episodes in succession but this show has me forming a habit of staying tuned for each episode. I'm loving it. I like it's high pace and the idea that anything can happen. There are no rules when there is no government and that opens the door to so many shameless possibilities, which The Walking Dead seems to be taking complete advantage of. I'm constantly thinking what I'd do if I were in each of the characters shoes. It opens up a lot of creativity in your thought process which is a lot of fun. Has anyone else seen it?

[Freddy_Ballgame]

I'm still watching SOA but recently got 3 months of free Showtime and got kinda hooked on Dexter! Think I'll ask for all seasons of it for Christmas. I like the stories and just how much thinking goes into them. The cast is pretty great, too! Looking forward to the return of Archer!

[The Rap]

I'm hooked on Sons of Anarchy and can't wait until Justified is back.

The Walking Dead is awesome. I wasn't sure they'd be able to pull off a television series about zombies, but they seem to be doing it. I actually post a blog each week for the local paper about the show. I've definitely been enjoying it.

Another awesome show I finally caught up with on DVD and am now watching as fresh episodes are aired is Fringe. Good stuff.

[bravos4evr]

Walking dead is good..... It actually makes me wanna read the comic it's based on... Which is akin to making me want to eat my own afterbirth... so... yeah it's a good show! :-)

[Hobbes]

Another awesome show I finally caught up with on DVD and am now watching as fresh episodes are aired is Fringe. Good stuff.
I watched the first half-dozen or so episodes of Fringe when it first came on, but I couldn't get into it. I wanted to like it, but I found I just didn't care for any of the characters. Perhaps they fixed that in later episodes, but by then I had given up. Many folks seem to like it these days.

[Freddy_Ballgame]

As much as I was enjoying SOA, the recent events have struck me as a bit over the top. I've known plenty of bikers and biker gangs in my travels and none are as melodramatic as these guys. I enjoyed the show more when they were acting more like fringe elements instead of some kind of arms cartel. The story about the kid getting hijacked and the gang going to Ireland, bikes and all, is closer to something I'd expect from Peter Griffin, than bikers. Watching Jax decide to "give away" his kid was pretty much an analogy for the season....they've gone a long way for a little....
I am anxious to see this season of Justified. It was pretty good last season.

Doesn't matter to me whether or not the story lines of SAMCRO are realistic. I love the show and am ecstatic to see that it was picked up for a Season 4.

And I agree on Justified. Another really good show. I love the Boyd Crowder character.

The episode of SOA that aired 11/23/10 with everyone back in Charming and closer to reality was a good one. Plenty of action and twists and a big question mark hangs over the dome of a certain rat!

I've seen every episode of SOA but I find myself wondering why I keep watching. I don't really know. I can't stand the actor who plays Samcro and I only find one or two characters believable. The plot is outrageous and their are huge chunks of story line all over the place that never make sense. I guess I only still watch because they set the bar so low that it only takes a little action to stir up some excitement. It's like the A-Team of the new millenium and I loved that show. It's got something going for it but I can't quite put my finger on itm

Well that turned out a lot different than I expected. I figured the "rat" story would be the main topic of interest going into season 4 but Sutter twisted it to perfection. Season ended on a high note this time, but with plenty of good storyline opportunities going into season 4. Over-the-top or not, this is a really good show.

I'm just thrilled that the bitch finally got her head blown off even though she has always turned me on. lol Next year's SOA will be awesome as Jax finds out that his mom and step dad killed his dad. What really stunned me was right after watching SOA I watched a film Nicholas Nickelby where Charley Hunnam (Jax) played the title role and where you see that he is an English actor.

Watched the season finale of SOA when I got home this morning. It was great! The right characters got clipped and with the guys headed off to a short bit, we have all sorts of story possibilities. Aside from the club doing Ireland, this series has been very good since it's debut. I missed 3 or 4 mid-season shows because Fox tried to jack up their prices and DishNetwork fought them. The Fox programming was reduced during that period and FX was one of the channels they clipped. Can't wait for the new seasons of Archer and Justified!

I watched the first half-dozen or so episodes of Fringe when it first came on, but I couldn't get into it. I wanted to like it, but I found I just didn't care for any of the characters. Perhaps they fixed that in later episodes, but by then I had given up. Many folks seem to like it these days.

I watched the pilot episode when it first aired and sort of thought, "meh". But, certainly from the second half of season 1 onward, it has gotten much more interesting. It's worth a second look, I think.

I think it is ok but something you have to watch every week. I take off a few weeks and come back and wonder who is real and who is from elsewhere.

Freakin' dish receiver went on the fritz over the weekend! All my recorded episodes are history! I had several great concerts from HDNet, a coupla good movies and most of the past season of SOA, not to mention all of season 3 and 4 to date of Burn Notice. Hopefully they'll have it repaired when I get off work. I'll be getting a new receiver.....glad I had already seen all the old stuff! Wish I knew how to copy stuff off the DVR onto my computer!

Yeah, I can't imagine trying to jump into the show after taking time off. It really is one of those shows that requires you keep up.

Does anybody else watch The Big Bang Theory? My wife just got the 3rd season on DVD on black friday and we love it. Season 1 was ok, Season 2 got better, and season 3 has really moved it up to a new level IMHO.

Are you kidding me? Bazinga!

That show has some excellent writing and some awesome comedic acting. Love that show!

[bmitm76]

Who's you favorite character? Mine has gotta be Raj. Sheldon makes the show what it is, but Raj is so great at physical comedy and has the best acting ability. and his not being able to talk about around unless drunk is just funny as hell and never gets old.

[Andy G.]

Yes. I love the Big Bang Theory as well. I disagree though. I think Jim Parsons (Sheldon) is the best actor on the show, but the entire cast is fantastic. Each one of them has moments that are hilarious.

Community has become my favorite show on t.v. I think. It keeps getting better. This season has been excellent.

[Dreamscape]

I've been a huge Big Bang fan since episode one. Got my girl into it and she loves it. If we're feeling lazy, we will watch the same DVD's we've seen several times.

Favorite character...gotta go with Sheldon.

[Hobbes]

Yep, great show. It's even funnier if you already have some geeky tendencies. I would imagine KB34 would love it. :p

[FrankEC]

LOVE the Big Bang Theory. Sheldon Cooper is one of the most original, well written, and well acted characters on TV in a long time.

The first episode I ever saw was the one where they were making Penny Blossoms and Sheldon drank coffee for the first time. Him in the Flash costume running around the apartment had me laughing so hard I could barely breathe. I've been hooked ever since.

[KB 34]

Yep, great show. It's even funnier if you already have some geeky tendencies. I would imagine KB34 would love it. :p
I've never watched it actually. Recently I've been working my way through WKRP in Cincinnati, which I've found highly amusing.

Ahh, a great show from my youth.

[luvdembravos]

My wife and I have absolutely loved the Big Bang Theory since season one.

Sheldon's the best but Amy Farrah Fowler cracks me up too.

[Dreamscape]

I didn't even know Amy Farrah Fowler was the girl who played Blossom. She was very annoying at first, but I've begun to appreciate her more.
