TV Programmes You'd Recommend To A Friend

[John83]

Peep show maybe. Haven't seen enough of Darkplaces. Might Boosh isn't a sitcom and never heard of might toss
It's Darkplace. 6 episode run. Very silly.

Mighty boosh is a sit com ( situation comedy ) where people get into humourous situations .

Darkplace is very funny if you have seen the office he is the weird IT guy that comes to fix tims computor . was made in 2004 but the show is sold as one that was made in the 80's but was too out-there for channel 4 to show

Modern toss is nt really a sit com more a series of sketches still quite funny on bravo after 12 at night ( adult swim )

Peep show is the funniest thing on tv from either tha UK or the US at the moment

[Burny89]

Anybody watching Flight of the Conchords on HBO

[GuisaSaigon]

Fonejacker on E4 is hillarious they only made 6 and are showing repeats at the moment. It's genius.

[stann]

'You don't just jump into bed with Terry Tibbs' :D
Brilliant show!

[humpmeister7]

I'll put Prison Break out there, although series 2 got a bit silly. Series 1 was brilliant, get it on dvd

[dcfcsteve]

Sherry fitzgerald...!!!!

Ahhh no, wait. That's the agent - I'd recommend - to a friend.....

[dcfcsteve]

Anyone remember Sledgehammer - a cop show comedy starring David Rasche(I think) - from mid-eighties/early nineties??

Used to love that when I was a kid. Like a series of the Naked Gun film....

[humpmeister7]

Police Squad, only aired 6 shows I believe but they were quality!:o

[sligoman]

King of Queens is class. Doug and Arthur are just comical geniuses together in it. Becker(not being made anymore), with Ted Danson, is also very good.

Arthur is the best. I like Doug too but not as much.

Becker(not being made anymore), with Ted Danson, is also very good.
Becker's ok. Just as long as the scenes don't include Becker.

I cried last nite coz Veronica Mars is finished. Not sure if there is another series on the way either. What will I do! Am watching the re-runs too but I need some more Mars!!!

Nope, its finished for good.

And :rolleyes: at people thinking "King of Queens" is class. passable comedy with the odd laugh, but there's no way people could make it appointment TV

[Magicme]

Nope, its finished for good.

I know. :mad: Just spent last 10 mins when should be working googling to see what can find out and it seems that is over for good. Rob Thomas is apparently planning on doing a movie in a few years though based on Veronica in the FBI. That would be great!

[anto1208]

My new best friend , same guy that did High spirits with shirly Ghostman a spoof Phychic ( like all the others but this guy is a comedian taking the **** ) also a very good show .

Anyone that believes in Phychics should watch this :p

My new best fried is kind of reality TV this person has to pass off an actor ( mark wootton) as his long lost best friend to all his friends and family for the weekend and they will win 10 grand if they do it , they have to go along with everything he says so when he tells one blokes friends that he is gay he has to agree, the stuff he comes out with is hillarious and seeing the contestant nearly brought to tears .He is a different charactor each week .

Here is the first episode

[Magicme]

They had that on Channel 4 years ago!

[Risteard]

Forensic Detectives and another one on Discovery Crime at about half five with a fella who tells stories of the murders in a ridiculous slurred voice with funny anecdotes.

[biscuit]

i love Deadliest Catch, Ray Mears extreme survival is another great docu-series. Csi las vegas is cool. anyone else like "the Unit" on bravo, thought it was a cracker ,only the occasional "heart warming - america is great" ****€ annoys me sometimes.Only fools n horses , Royale Family (hilarious) , simpsons, FAMILY GUY loads more but im having a brain freeze!!

[DIFChick]

"Tribe" on BBC is one of my favourite programmes at the moment.
Himself is obsessed with UFC on Bravo. I've watched a few episodes and it's growing on me!

[SligoBrewer]

the young ones.

classic comedy

Anybody watching Flight of the Conchords on HBO

Flight of the Conchords is on BBC3 Tuesday nights now. I did not get episode 1 but watched episode 2 & was very funny. The Pet Shop video priceless. One of the strangest shows in a while. I am sure I will miss some of the musical references but best suited to music buffs you like intelligent comedy :D

Someone recommended Dexter. Seen some of that too & good show.

[2legged tackle]

Skins , Scrubs & Heroes.
New series of heroes is out in the US but is online now.
Most of these programmes can be seen *at the usual places

The new Heroes looks worth watching if you've seen the first series.

*(Edited by Dodge - Don't be putting up "iffy" links to copyrighted stuff here)

[pete]

Watched the first series of Dexter & great show.

Was sick for few days so on marathon of 30 Rock (pretty good) & The Office US (quality dropping in later series.

[Wolfie]

The Late Late Show

[Reddladd]

OZ...........the HBO prison drama. Quality storylines and acting!

[placid casual]

its always sunny in philadelphia

[Aberdonian Stu]

Came across a newish one (released in the summer) called Burn Notice which USA Network airs in the states. Bruce Campbell plays a supporting role which is all some of us need from a TV show.

[lionelhutz]

Sorry meant to say "in its current guise". Talk of his best mate leaving, which would destroy it IMO

Not turk is it?? That cant happen - its the chemistry between turk and jd that makes the programme a classic

[superfrank]

Shows that I watch now and still enjoy:

Mythbusters - Discovery Channel, fascinating show
South Park
Scrubs
How I Met Your Mother - Channel 6
CSI's

All very good.

[Aberdonian Stu]

I remember seeing an interview with the guy that plays Turk on the morning that the current season was starting. He said this was the last season, as opposed to just his. I was under the impression that this has been considered the case for some time.

[tricky_colour]

The Mighty Boosh.

It's already been mentioned and it's a bit 'weird' but I caught an episode last night which was pretty good. I saw one a while back which was even weirder.

It's again in 20 minutes on BBC 3 if you can get that.

This is a clip from last nights show.

I've been taping the excellent but short-lived Andy Barker, P.I. (http://www.nbc.com/Andy_Barker_PI/) on RTE2 (late Sunday night/early Monday morning). Funny show with a proper (but comedic) detective story running through each episode. Like the earlier Andy Richter Controls the Universe you can only catch it at the kind of timeslot that the eircom League Weekly repeat usually airs. Dumped after six episodes that nobody watched (NBC released the series online before it aired on TV) :( You can see the show starting to hit its stride and the potential for greatness was there if they'd given it enough time to find itself.

Sadly, Andy Richter will now always be known as successful sitcom Kryptonite and that guy who was Conan O'Brien's sidekick.

And Ali G's husband in talladega nights.

Scrubs was offcially in its last series (even having a farwell tour) but creator Bill lawrence said he wwouldn't let the WGA strike ruin his plans for a finale to the show so they may be back next year.

And I disagree with Pete, the last season of the US office was as close to comedy gold as anybody has got in years (honourable mention to series two of Arrested Development)

I have only seen up to the end of series 3.

"Tribe" on BBC is one of my favourite programmes at the moment.


Good show that. Yer mans a bit of a hero.
Did anyone see that 'Equator' programme where the presenter went nuts with jublilation every time they crossed the equator, at a point according to his GPS gadget. Hugging and hi-fiving with dudes who havent a clue why hes randomly exploded into joy on some meaningless journey they make every single day.

Since that whenever we cross a border,eg Slovakia into Czech Rep.,Ireland to Wales ye gotta hi-five and cheer randomly in the name of that bloke who loves the equator.

[ramsfan]

cant beat the classics like

only fools and horses
open all hours
porridge

and of course father ted


great new shows are

IT CROWD

Ramsays kitchen nightmares

[Neish]

God a new one for ya all

Dexter http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/

Got the first season recently of my sister, decent show IMO. Nowhere near as good as my top 3 Sopranos, The Wire and OZ but it good and gave me something to watch untill Season 5 of OZ is released at end of the month.

[John83]

I watched Dexter. The first season's just finished here. I like it a lot.

The premise is odd. The title character is a forensics specialist on blood for the Miami police, who is also a serial killer who only kills other serial killers. The first season (13 episodes) is going reasonably cheap on amazon, I think.

[Dodge]

Dunno if i've mentioned it on this thread but chuck is excellent. Really light and fluffy but funny enough to keep me entertained throughout

[John83]

When's that on, and what channel? I've been meaning to catch an episode.

[Norm]

Jake and the Fatman

[DmanDmythDledge]

8 out of 10 Cats.

I recommended above. Series 2 is also very good as different plot to series 1 & writers like to finish with conclusion. Still find it strange it shown on ITV.

Series two isn't over here yet though?

July 6th of FX AFAIK

[Neish]

Scrubs s my favourite show on tv at the moment but series seven is poor so far

IMO Scrubs was funny for 2 or 3 seasons, got very predictable and repetitive after that

[Razors left peg]

Some that havent been mentioned yet....
The Unit
Criminal Minds
Chuck
Reaper

[John83]

Reaper had an interesting pilot but quickly ran out of steam after that.

Its not the greatest show ever made but its good light viewing and worth a few laughs

[Boo_Boy]

Chuck, Burn Notice, Monk & Psych are the one's i mainly watch.
