Trig 0 Posted January 25, 2007 I'm watching an increasingly large amount of TV from the states now, what with 24 Season 6, Prison Break, Heroes & Lost. Does anyone else find that these ludicrously addictive shows are not only far better than British stuff but better than most Movies as well?! I love it. 24 is so frickin cool this current season looks like it's going to be another cracker. Prison Break is pure genius although I did prefer S1 Heroes is also building up to what promises to be a great climax So does anyone get something not mentoned above that also kicks large amounts of arse? I need more TV! Funny though because I never watch UK stuff. Trig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golfg60 0 Posted January 25, 2007 I hear you there pal. There are some really good and original US drama series at the moment. I also have got into Scrubs recently, i know its a comedy but still pretty good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leavon 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Agreed on the quality US drama. Battlestar Galactica is very good, don't be put off by it's early 80's origins, it's nothing like the old series and has surprising depth, quality cast and production values. Dexter is also worth a look, show about a serial killer who's also a forensics expert working for the police, messed up but cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted January 25, 2007 VERONICA MARS!!! Absolute class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted January 25, 2007 I'm loving Lost, really need it to start back up again. For some reason I'm addicted to Deadliest Catch, American Chopper and Overhaulin too. I think the standard of US programming has gone up recently, ever since 24 raised the bar. At least its not just hundreds of middle of the road sitcoms anymore, ie Everybody Loves Raymond, Home Improvement, etc. On the downside, I get subjected to Sex in the City every bloody night. Its on now, and my headphones are in, the tunes are turned up. Still got to look at those ugly slags though. At least she doesn't watch Desperate Arsewipes any more. Worse still, its my housemate and not g/f so I can't really moan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Neil- 0 Posted January 25, 2007 I watch Supernatural with my GF, i absolutley love it! Downloaded every episode so far! I use to watch Amercian Hot rod on sky, might see if i can download it, i HATE Overhaulin. Altho i LOVE Home improvement! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trig 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Forgot about battlestar galactica, my bro always raves on about that and he was the one that put me on to prison break.... VR6, Veronica Mars? Elaborate please :) And I haven't forgotten that you put me on to Heroes which is also good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReekieVR 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Seinfeld - genius. E:"Why do they call it a wedgie?" J: "Because the underwear is pulled up from the back until... it wedges in." "They also have an Atomic Wedgie. Now the goal there is to actually get the waistband on top of the head. It's very rare." E:"Boys are sick." G: "What do girls do?" E:"We just tease someone until they develop an eating disorder." - Elaine, George and Jerry, in "The Library" "Was he on his death bed?" "No, he was on his regular bed." - George and Jerry, in "The Scofflaw" :lol: :lol: :notworthy: (Oh and Curb of course) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve_16v 0 Posted January 26, 2007 just hundreds of middle of the road sitcoms anymore, ie Everybody Loves Raymond, Home Improvement, etc. pah, both classic shows! At the moment I've mostly been watching Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis), Scrubs, Smallville, Lost, King of Queens, and since I found a website that has every episode of the Simpsons to watch I've been catching up on that recently. (*cough* google alluc *cough*) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is still one of my favourites. The Sopranos rocks, can't wait for that to come back on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReekieVR 0 Posted January 26, 2007 just hundreds of middle of the road sitcoms anymore, ie Everybody Loves Raymond, Home Improvement, etc. pah, both classic shows! How can you put ELR in the same sentence as Home Improvment ? I really find it a struggle to watch ELR at all. HI is defo a classic - the sons have grown up with the show and The Toolman rocks.

steve_16v 0 Posted January 26, 2007 ELR is great, I think it's just one of those shows that you need to watch a few episodes to get into, otherwise it probably does seem middle of the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of a Beesting 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Day break also looks good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Ya see, US comedy is not really my bag. Sooo many people have gone on at me about watching scrubs but I sit down and veiw an episode and I just don't get it! I always liked Friends but other than that i've not given much else a chance. Anyone watch CSI or West Wing? I hear they are both quite good. What's Day Break all about?

Son of a Beesting 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Day break it kinda liek groundhog day. A cop gets the blame for a murder and he keeps reliving the same day until he finds the killer. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0801425/ EDIT: I just found out its got cancelled so maybe it sucked! Prison Break rules though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted January 26, 2007 I love CSI (and CSI:Miami and CSI:NY!!). I also watch Criminal Minds and NCIS. In fact, channel five is probably my most watched channel. I also like Desperate Housewives and ER (but being a women I guess I'm in the minority on here) Oh and I love scrubs, so random at times but v funny :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted January 26, 2007 The Shield is where its at, what ever happened to that?!? Also two and a half men and scrubs, ooooh yeah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Two and Half Men - Yay Scrubs - Meh. Its really gone downhill recently, the first few series were legendary, now they are getting a bit repetitititititititive. Especially Doc Cox, he used to be my fave, but has had no orginal lines for a long time now. The Janitor rules however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted January 26, 2007 -Neil-, I'm with you buddy - supernatural is superb! Checking daily to see when episode 12 gets put on line 8) EDIT: 12 is up - downloading now :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnyman9000 0 Posted January 26, 2007 I've only recently discovered Scrubs, so i dont know what series im at or anything! My rents used to moan about me watching paramount comedy, but now my dad watches scrubs and my mum watches everybody loves raymond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted January 26, 2007 VR6, Veronica Mars? Elaborate please :) And I haven't forgotten that you put me on to Heroes which is also good. Difficult to describe but it's exec producer is Joel Silver. Watch the first 3 episodes or so and see what you think. Might not be your cuppa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
