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.

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.

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

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

**John83** · 25/06/2008, 6:51 PM

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** · 26/06/2008, 2:36 AM

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

**John83** · 26/06/2008, 10:36 AM

Monk is good fun. Tony Shaloub is fantastic as Monk. I think he's won a bunch of awards for it.

Dexter? Yeah, it got mentioned a couple of pages back. A few of us are fans.

I watched an episode once with a few friends - one of them a big fan of it showing it to the rest of us for the first time. After it finished, one of the guys said, "I can see why it's on BBC 3." It was the kindest thing he could say about it.

The latest show I've got into is Deadliest Catch on Discovery, about fishermen in Alaska. Pretty interesting.

Just finished watching the 1st season of Battlestar Galactica(Made in 2004 and set 40 years after the original series)

I'm a big fan. If you haven't already, watch the miniseries - it takes place just before season 1. I'm very happy that someone is actually making a show with an ending - there's a four season arc to BSG, which will wrap up in the new year. None of the usual limping on as the writers run out of ideas, the characters get stale and the ratings fall before an abrupt cancellation. No Lost-style meandering storylines that go nowhere, get dropped for no reason or are resolved by stupid twists because the writers have written themselves into a corner. No, Ron Moore, like the Cylons, has a plan.

Yeah seen it got it and season 1 off my sister. She has season 2 aswell but has lent it to a friend, I'll get it when the freind is finished with it.

PS Also recently finished season 4 of the Wire Great as usual. Apparently it has over taken soppranos as the most watch TV series in the States.

Just over a week to go before the return of the Wire. Cannot wait.

What ? When, where ? tell me more. (Please don't say its on FX, I don't have that

) I'm waiting (im)patiently for TG4 to show it. BY the way I noticed that Channel 6 in Dublin (available on NTL) seem to be showing it from the start on Thursday nights. So if you haven't seen it and don't want/can't afford to buy the box sets, here is your chance to catch it. I really doubt it will ever be bettered as a drama series. (BTW I notice the legendary Omar pops up in Gone Baby Gone.)
