jeff_536 3 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Okay, so I'm in Canada and we don't always get all the shows you guys do in the U.S., mainly the cable shows.In the last few weeks/months, I've downloaded and enjoyed the hell out of IASI Philly, Psych and 30 Rock (yes, i know it's NBC, just never saw it on TV before)I see most of the HBO stuff (and some Showtime) on our movie network up here (like Oz, Entourage, Dexter, Trueblood).I've heard good things about Weeds, Burn Notice and The Wire.Any other series I may have missed that are worth checking out?

Suited_Up 2 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't care what anyone says... I like 24 if you haven't seen it yet.Should I assume you've seen The Office?I just this past year or so started watching 2 and a half men, and it's one of the funniest shows ever. I still don't watch the new ones, but I catch the reruns almost every day.I liked Journeyman while it lasted, but now that it's cancelled, why bother?CSI and CSI:Miami are fun for me. David Caruso is the best thing on TV, lol.I can't think of what else right now. I was gonna leave off the more reality type stuff, but lemme just do a quick list if you haven't seen them:Ghost HuntersUltimate FighterInto the UnknownDigging for the TruthBiggest LoserTop ChefHell's KitchenOk, I'm done.

Watched the original for a few years. Not into the ghost stuff.As for The Office, I loved the few episodes of the British original, but I'm not a fan of the comedy style like The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm that plays on awkward and uncomfortable situations. I find CYE unwatchable. Link to post Share on other sites

I find CYE unwatchable.Fair enough. But I do like the office.The other ones, like Into the Unknown and Digging for the truth, are the same show basically, same host, but they apparently cancelled Digging, and moved channels and gave it a new name. But it's kind of an archaeology type show, it's good stuff. PMJ watches them too, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
