    I bought The Office S.1 yesterday, and I hadn't even seen one episode yet.I just knew it was going to be awesome, which it is.

    Southpark is amazing.

    I love any NBA and NHL playoff game.

    I am a closet court TV fan.

    I am a closet outrageous but believable talk show fan as well.

    The Simpsons used to be my favorite show for probably a decade or so, but we all know what happened to that ship over the past decade or so.

    Penn and Tellers Bullshit is great.

    Intervention is therapeutic.

    Trailer Park Boys.

    Flight of the Concords.

    High stakes poker.

    OMG yes how did I forget this one. Can't wait for s2. I just re-watched the first season recently.

    The scene where hank's agent guilts him into the 3-way, then their exes walk in right as the squirter goes off in his face.

    Priceless...

    Oh, and I'll also second 'rome'. Ridiculously well done. Mark anthony is da man

    most of you guys seem to be subscribing mainly to popular and easy to find stuff.

    for example: only one or two, if any, of you have heard of Carnivale, yet, had they finished the full five seasons instead of canceling after season two it would easily be the best of all time. that show was like one gigantic pseudo-fantasy novel put into an entire series, and was made almost perfectly in every way. i froth at the mouth just thinking about when im gonna feel like enough time has passed so i can watch it again. BROTHER JUSTIN YESSSSSS

    similar goes for Rome, Firefly, and Arrested Development. AD is such a supreme example of how incredibly stupid the large majority of sitcom viewers are and how such money-grubbing, tasteless clowns television executives are.

    once, just once, i would like an station to be ruled by somebody who doesn't care about making the most money, and wants to put out the most artistic product instead. if that ever happened it'd be just like HBO except not cancelling half its shows because even many HBO subscribers wouldn't know the best show ever if it was stabbing them with a pike.

    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    I bought the first 4 seasons of The Wire and watched them in 3 weeks. Best purchase I've ever made.
  32. #32
    I DVR and watch this show every day that it's on.




    My wife and I DVR the next two shows and watch them when we can.

    Love and marriage,
    Love and marriage
    Go together
    Like a horse and carriage
    This I tell you brother
    You can't have one without the other
    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    It's an institute you can't disparage
    Ask the local gentry
    And they will say it's elementary

    Try, try, try to separate them
    It's an illusion
    Try, try, try, and you will only come
    To this conclusion

    Love and marriage, love and marriage



    oh, and when is entourage next season due?
    My dream... is to fly... over the rainbow... so high...

    I just finished watching every episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and its as funny as any show ive ever seen. Its just as good as my favourite show of all time Seinfeld and anyone that likes Seinfeld should buy(or download) the DVDs immediately and start watching it.

    I havent LOL'd this hard at a TV show in a long time.

    Its pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
  38. #38
    The wire is easily the greatest tv show ever made.
  39. #39
    some other good ones are:

    curb
    arrested dev
    band of brothers
    peep show
    rescue me
    sopranos
    battlestar galactica
    death note
    dexter
    adam and joe
    brass eye


    i'm gonna guess that you guys never heard of peep show, since it's a british comedy, seriously download it, it's definitely my fav comedy ever.

    I just started watching it recently and am almost through the episodes.

    Honestly one of the funniest f'n shows I've seen in a long time. Seriously well done hilariosity.

    Superhands is probably like the best character ever.

    i've just started watching dexter on dvd, i'm about five episodes in on season 1 and it's omggood. does season 2 stay as good/get better?
    derp
  42. #42
    Watched all 4 seasons of entourage recently, now that's a good show. Ari Gold (jeremy piven) is godly.

    And dexter, I got 2 seasons of that lying around on a harddrive somewhere, heard some good stuff about it..

    QFT, just in case anyone wasn't aware. HBO pretty much had it locked with Curb and Sopranos as well. Ali G as well. Rescue Me was very good, at least season 1 and 2.

    It came on right after Rescue 911.

    I love re-enacted traumatic experiences of other people.

    QFT!! AD is the only show I've watched seriously and it's probably the best thing I've ever seen on a screen. If you haven't seen it/like it you're fucking up/are too dull to understand their awesome humor.

    3rd rock from the sun was a show that i hated at first but grew to love. John Lithgow is a great actor.
  70. #70
    Best Lithgow moment was when he met his doppelganger replacement. The look on his face, with "My God!" made you think he was horrified but after the slight pause, he added: "you're beautiful!"

    Classic!


    Could never stand Jospeh Gordon Levitt. Wayne Knight was pure class though.
