Best shows on TV
FI and I recently got cable again. So, I've been looking for good shows. We're watching syfy's Being Human and loving it. I also like the Walking Dead. I found out today that I have a BBC channel. Doctor Who was on, but I didn't watch it because I wouldn't know what was going on. Should I try to find the first season (how many are there?) of Doctor Who? Any other shows that you'd recommend?

<div>I found that I couldn't follow Once Upon a Time too easily. Seems like one of those shows that you have to keep up on every single episode. </div>

New Girl
Whitney
Raising Hope
Parenthood (LOVE)
The Office
The Big Bang Theory
I will watch:
American Idol
Mad Men
I guess I don't watch a lot of cable channel shows... interesting. I did just find that OWN is now in HD and that'll probably be my go-to channel when I have the remote.
[QUOTE]I recently got attached with<strong> Dresden Files</strong>. I don't think you can get them on cable anymore, but definitely on Netflix! There's also a whole bunch of books. I happen to be a Grey's Anatomy, Big Bang Theory kind of girl. Sometimes I'll watch Law and Order, but the comedies are definitely much more my style.

Books are waaaay better than the show. Too bad the show only last a season. You can still watch it on Hulu. But if you get a chance the Dresden files as a series of books are awesome. I'm waiting to see what the next book brings.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Best shows on TV : Yeah Dr Who!! Okay so most of the episodes are enjoyable as one-offs, but through each season there's clues in each episode leading to a big reveal at the end of the story arch.

That sounds really interesting. I'll definitely have to try to get into it.
I've heard Sons of Anarachy is awesome too. I have a girl crush on Katey Sagal. I loved Married with Children and Futurama.

True statement. We don't have cable but we recently worked through all of the Psych episodes on Netflix. It's one of the only TV shows that actually makes me laugh out loud.
Married!
I'm looking forward to that show Alcatraz as well!
And yes- Psych is the funniest show. Shawn and Gus are my tv lovers!
[QUOTE]Yes- Once Upon a Time is definitely a show you have to watch from episode 1 and watch every episode. It's from the people who did Lost, so it's good, but something you have to stay up on.<strong> I'm looking forward to that show Alcatraz as well!</strong> And yes- Psych is the funniest show.

<div>I got to watch a sneak peek of the premiere episode of this on the plane to Miami & it was REALLY good. It's definitely going on my DVR list!! </div>
How I Met Your Mother
New Girl (I laugh out loud more at this show than anything else on TV)
2 Broke Girls
Grey's (I can't quit it)
Teen Mom 2 (judge away)
Pretty Little Liars
The Lying Game (I watched the whole marathon on New Years Day & loved it)
Chopped
Big Bang Theory
I'm contemplating getting HBO for True Blood this season, because I need my Stabler... uh, Christopher Meroni fix. I now only really watch reruns of SVU because it's just not the same without him.

<div>Bri, I watch that too! I have a minor (ok major) ABC Family TV show obsession lately as in I watch just about all of them (Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game, Make it or Break It, Switched at Birth). I was embarrassed to admit the rest of them though <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-embarassed.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" />. In my mind I'm still a 17 year old girl bahahaha</div>

Hahaha I LOVE all those shows on ABC Family. I can't help it!! I kind of heart that DJ Tanner is a mom on Make it or Break it, and I wish my life was half as exciting as the teenagers on Pretty Little Liars & The Lying Game.
Life is good today.
I do watch a few 'regular' shows (though most of them are comedies). South Park, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Family Guy, Once Upon a Time (I watched the first episode, dvr'd the rest and just finally caught up), & Vampire Diaries (not very good, but something to watch)
Then of course, my favorite: True Blood, but that's not on again until June. I did just re-watch Season 1 - 3 though, Season 4 isn't out yet on dvd.
BF got me hooked on Breaking Bad, which is a close runner up for favorite show.
I really like American Pickers too. Which I find funny since my grandma also likes that show.
I hear Big Bang Theory is awesome, and I think once Chuck is over I'll have to start watching it.
True Blood
Once Upon a Time
Modern Family
Dexter
Shameless
Shows I like:
Raising Hope
Teen Mom (can't help it lol)
Vampire Diaries

<div>I'm looking forward to this as well being a big lost fan. I haven't gotten into Once Upon a Time I heard it's good though.</div>
