I stopped watching Fringe mid-season two because it was sucking major balls, but I was convinced to go back to it and that'd be good a little after where I stopped, and it did. But I'm at the start of season three right now, and the 'infiltration' story line is bad, I want to know about how long it lasts to see if I should bail on the show again.

I still prefer Season 1. But 2 and 3 were golden. Season 5 is not the place to start.Snuggler said:

Doctor Who and Game of Thrones. Unbelievable production quality, both of them.
Late reply I know. I wasn't down on the show. I loved the first season. I thought the second season sucked and I stopped watching it at Snakehead, and I mentioned this a couple of months ago to someone and they told me I stopped right about the time the second season got good, so I decided I'd give it another try, and I loved the remainder of season two.big ander said:
As for season three, I've finished it now. I'm glad the storyline I mentioned didn't last long. I liked the season for the most part, I wasn't really keen on the bizarro world episodes, I didn't like either of the two main male FD agents (nor their 'real world' counterparts). There were two normal episodes I didn't like too, the two with Bell, but other than that I thought it was pretty awesome.
Unlike most of the sci-fi TV shows, every single episode felt like it was progressing the mythology. After Lost that's the kind of pace I welcome in a serialized sci-fi show. If you compared it to something like The X Files in that regard, it's just hugely more satisfying.

Started watching Fringe... which is surprisingly not too bad once you get past the terrible first episode.
Still not all that interested in the "weird shit of the week" type episodes as they dont' seem to get the development they should but its also holding my attention during this otherwise boring week.

Catching up on the second half of Season 3 of Castle. Such a fun show.
I really wish they'd stop the Castle/Beckett relationship teasing. It's something that really annoys me with TV shows, they know that couples getting together isn't as interesting as the tension. Stretching it out though doesn't help matters though, just makes it annoying.
Anyway, that aside I love the chemistry between the cast. Really makes this show.

Okay. Too bad I accidentally ordered (500) Days of Summer first... At least I have 20 television series on my instant queue.
On that note, help me choose between:
Sons of Anarchy
Friday Night Lights
Dexter
Arrested Development
Firefly: The Complete Series
Battlestar Galactica
Pushing Daisies
Twin Peaks
Damages
Jeremiah
Jericho
Brotherhood
Veronica Mars
Party Down
Reaper
My So-Called Life
Luther
Archer
Better Off Ted
Day Break: The Complete Series
The X-Files
I have two weeks until my job starts and I can't watch them anymore. I might be screwed.

Wow, that's a lot of great tv. My personal picks would be the following, though you can't go wrong with most of those shows.
Comedy:
Arrested D, Party Down, Archer
Drama:
FNL, Veronica Mars, Firefly, SoA, BSG
I could also break it down based on seasons if that's what you want. Some of those are pretty short, so you'd (sort of) get more bang for your buck.

Party Down, Arrested Development, Veronica Mars, and BSG are the four best shows in that list. Party Down is 20 30 minute episodes, Arrested Development 53 22 minute episodes, Veronica Mars 64 44 minute episodes (although the first season stands alone fairly well and is the best season, so that could knock it down to a third that length), BSG is 75 44 minute episodes.
Of the four, Arrested Development and BSG are the most important two.
Don't Google, Wiki, or otherwise look up BSG. Major spoilers abound, everywhere, even on the main Wiki article.

I'd finish Firefly first and its movie, Serenity. Short but sweet series.ivysaur12 said:

Never ever put Breaking Bad next to the "The Good Wife" ever again. EVER.
tycoonheart said:
Just because a show is on CBS or is a "mom show" doesn't make it inherently bad. The show was one of two network series that got nominated for the Emmy!*
*Yes, I realize awards such as the Emmy don't really mean that much, but the show has gotten fantastic critical praise.

Yes I have. Used to be my favorite show. Brother Justin, IMO, is one of the most fierce villains to ever grace TV. Would've loved for the show to continue past Season 2.

From what I've seen of these the bold are my recommendations. Start with Arrested Development, Firefly, and Archer

The development of the characters is what makes the show so great and because every episode has it's own story but also does a fine job of developing the main story I never was bored once.
Also in before somebody once again says that everything after SE3 IS THE WORST SEASON EVAAAAR!!!!
From the shows you listed above I'd watch AD for laughs and for drama Veronica Mars or Dexter.
EDIT: Uplifting?
Well then AD for sure, even thinking about Gob and Tobias makes me smile.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I love Carnivale, but Breaking Bad is better.Scythian Empire said:
Carnivale really suffered by having the lead be whiny and unlikeable. The best part of that show was Justin, Samson, Lodz, etc.

Yup. He was on Undeclared, too.ivysaur12 said:
The first season of SoA takes a while to get going, but the back half is great and S2 is superb.

Dude, seriously, watch Firefly. It's only fourteen episodes and a movie. Easily done with in the next two weeks.ivysaur12 said:
