***Official TV sitcoms and Series recommendation thread***

[pocketfours]

The wife and I are looking for a new series to watch. Preferably a series that is finished or has been going on for a few years. I wouldn't mind watching a comedy or at least something that isn't as dark as the shows we've been watching lately. The wife says something that is modern, non-scifi, and non-fantasy.

Here's a list of most the shows we have seen:

Dexter
Breaking Bad
The Wire
The Sopranos
Twin Peaks
The Walking Dead
Firefly
Oz
Rome
24
Lost
Arrested Development
Freaks and Geeks

What do you recommend?

Entourage and Modern Family

Entourage and Modern Family

Thanks, I forgot about Entourage. I think we have watched most of the first 3 or 4 seasons. Are the rest of the seasons worth watching?

My wife watches Modern Family every week. I forgot to list that.

LOL

Entourage gets gradually worse from start to finish (if I remember correctly) and starts repeating itself. If you liked it you could try How to make it in America instead. Hmm seems they cancelled it after two seasons, oh well...

Got nothing for you. I suppose get on the Homeland bandwagon. The second season is a joyride after a very tedious and barely watchable first (you can't skip it though).

BBT is always a fun 20min if you're at all into nerdy shit.

Planet earth and other BBC nature series in 1080p are amazing if you have decent gear.

FlashForward was only one season of b-class drama, but def interesting stuff to think about and some nice achievements in cinematography during black outs.

Suits is watchable if you're desperate or on a treadmill.

Funny that you didn't list Boardwalk Empire, GoT or the Newsroom, since I don't watch them either. Gave them all a very decent chance though. Probably good stuff in there but not for me. Def give them a try if you haven't already.

Homeland is on my list. I will start watching it next year probably.

I BBT. I always turn it on when I am channel surfing.

LOL at Flash Forward. We watched that when it came out. I did not expect anyone in a million years to recommend that show.

It's surprising to me that you watched Flash Forward, but gave up on BWE, GoT, and The Newsroom. Wuf's gif is the perfect reply. I haven't watched any of these yet, but they are definitely on my list. I am just waiting until they are a few more seasons deep, so that I can marathon watch them. I hate waiting week to week.

Yeah it was pretty crappy drama and mediocre acting but the storyline was too fascinating to be passed on. It constantly kept me thinking how I would write the next scene. I'm a determinist, so I thought the idea of not being able to alter the future even though you know what's going to happen was extremely fascinating and as far as I know it has never been attempted before by anyone.

But fuck FF, if you want a good laugh I can tell you I watch the Bachelor.

Good luck with those
