TV Programmes You'd Recommend To A Friend

The League of Gentlemen

[kingdom hoop]

Anyone watch Bodies ever?

Absolutely fuking brilliantly superb tension-filled drama set in a gynaecology hospital with Keith Allen to add Everest-sized mountains of humour for reprieve. Favourite line has got to be 'gynaecologist at your cervix'; an all-time classic.

Its second, and mucho malheuresement final, series concluded a few months ago on RTE (formerly BBC) but is available to order on DVD from a store near you.

The Blue Riband, or, ahem, maybe pink, of hospital dramas.

edit; I should add that your friend should not be pregnant

[Neish]

Well I did say stuff that was still going, otherwise Arrested Development is my clear favourite

[Dodge]

Doubt that as its not really a ratings winner and didn't even feature on NBC's autumn line up. Only coming in whe others failed, opening up its slot again.

Scrubs has been signed for another season by NBC, reverting to prime location on Thursday evenings. Only 18 episodes though (compared with 25 for My Name is Earl and 20 half hour and 5 hour long episodes of the Office )

Did anyone mention Brotherhood yet?

They're showing it on channel 6 and it's been good so far. I'd also mention Studio 60 on the sunset strip but it's been cancelled

Saw the first couple of episodes of that. Had high hopes after the West Wing, (same writers/producers) but I didin't think it was a patch on it. Very disappointing.

[Anto McC]

Well i never actually saw a full episode of the West Wing so i couldn't draw a comparision but i was/am really enjoying Studio 60.

Studio 60 is ok but not a patch on the West Wing - tv show doesn't have the gravitas as President of the US. Lot of well know n actors in Studio 60 plus doesn't look like they skimping on production costs so tv ratings in the US probably don't justify it continuing.

[RogerMilla]

mostly all have been mentioned

west wing is numero uno for me , have the whole lot on DVD
also the X-files , absolute genius likewise full DVD collection
love the sopranos , red dwarf , hill street blues

I love "the Shield" and cannot recommend it highly enough

i know its schlock but i enjoyed prison break

really need to get "the wire"

Started watching Entourage on RTE2 recently (don't have the extra ITV channels) & looks good.

Got into this big time recently. Great great show. Jeremy Piven as manic agent Ari Gold steals pretty much every scene he's in.

[Block G Raptor]

Heroes is a must. my self and mrs Raptor love curling up on monday nights to watch. we've even had the symbol tatooed on our shoulders

Our Friends in The North .

Jaysus I'd forgotten all about that show! that was class

True. The good thing is there is at least 4 series & RTE just started number two.

Heroes has taken a while to get going but very good episode on Sci-Fi earlier this week.

For any of the kids out there the X-Files was great at the start but rubbish after maybe 5 series. Other good oldies include Twin Peaks which I wouldn't mind watching again to see if as watchable as first showing. used to be a few good shows around the X-Files days such as Millennium & Dark Skies.

totally hooked on prison break
