Finished The Wire about a week ago after marathoning it from the very beginning. Absolutely lived up to all the hype, and I feel almost ashamed I waited so long to see it. Season 4 was fantastic. Such a drastic change of pace, but it worked so well.
Last night I finished season 1 of the Shield. Pretty good, but I am curious when the show becomes balls-to-the-wall amazing. I have the rest to watch, but for now I am going to start Rome Bluray tomorrow. So excited as I know nothing about the show.

Ive been watching Angel off and on for about two months now. Currently on season 3... I really hope that
Pretty good show, it has its up and downs but the reason I keep watching is because of the characters. Its a huge difference from Dollhouse where every character sucks.
It starts picking up in the second season. The first season is probably the worst season but its still good.
Darla is dead for good. such a horrible character and the reason season 2 sucked. She wasnt too bad in season 3 though..

Finished Smallville s8 and catching up on s9. I actually enjoyed season 8 quite a bit more than 7 (and possibly 6 the seasons are kinda beginning to blur [har-de-har-har])
Also watched the new V, it was pretty decent but I think the 4/5 month break will kill all momentum.
Also mostly caught up on Friday Night Lights and, let me tell you something, the overall quality of that show is outstanding.
Think that sums up most of it, I might rewatch Supernatural to deal with the fact that most of the airing shows I watch are on mid-season break.

Starting with season 2
I just watched Supernatural season 1 after getting it on the cheap last weekend.
Really enjoyed it. For some reason, I thought the show was supposed to be pretty lame, but I guess I was wrong. Great creepy atmospheres and lots of cool episodes.
Just ordered season 2 and 3 off Amazon too

Thanks. Glad you didn't say "towards the end of season 4" or something. That's 6 seasons of The Shield I have to look forward to with Christmas break a few weeks away. Can't wait!

Dead said:
Honestly, it only goes uphill from there. The season spanning arcs and general mythos get more and more interesting, and they start inserting more (well done) comedic moments eventually culminating (thus far) in a few episodes that had cracking up in s5.
Despite being on The CW and having its fair share of Sam topless to meet the quota demanded of a show on a girl orientated network it is definitely a belt-worth of notchs above pretty much anything else on there and at least on par with heavy hitters from other broadcast channels in my book.
Edits to make it not sound like I'm promoting CW cause I really have no need or want to.
Dead said:
Yeah I thought the same thing. On the CW, two pretty boy leads, crazy fangirls (really crazy) ,etc. But it turned out to be one of my favorite shows. The way the show mixes drama and comedy is just incredible
btw, it gets better each season. Seasons 3 through 5(so far) havent had one bad episode IMO.

I know it's on Netflix but not all of it. Amazon however has the entire series on DVD for $58. It's the new boxset so you don't have to deal with 50 discs but it doesn't include Peacekeeper Wars.

Starting on the 3rd season of Friday Night Lights. Really amazing show, however Lyla, for all her hotness, is incredibly aggravating and always has been.
Started watching Friday Night Lights after reading about it a bunch of times in this thread. I'm on the 3rd episode of Season 1 now, so it's early to start talking about it, but I really love this show. Matt Saracen is probably the most relate-able and likeable character that I've seen in a TV show since Jim Halpert in the first few seasons of The Office. I don't know what it is but I just love that dude. But again, I'm just two episodes in, so things could change.

I just finished a marathon of Arrested Development.
Finished X-files S6. Towards the end it lost some of it's momentum but it was still a good season. I wouldn't say it was among the best seasons but the overall quality was really good. Far better season then the 5th season. I'm probably going to stop watching X-files for good now. I remember not liking the 7th season back in the days and I hated the last two seasons with T-1000 so there isn't really anything left for me.
Also been watching It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Just watched "The Gang Gets Held Hostage" episode and while I wasn't big fan of it I did love the Die Hard spoof parts. And I totally lost it when
:lol
After Philadelphia I'm out of tv shows, yet again Well with good luck I will get my Farscape box in December and it will be my new project.

And Dead Set, a nice english miniseries.
Oh and finished the whole 3 30 rock Season (much better then the first 2) and Curb your.. SE6, maybe my most favorite comedy on TV at the moment, Larry David is just too awesome.

Currently making my way through a (already cancelled) show called "Defying Gravity" I randomly saw it on the BBC iPlayer and the description of it sounded really cool so I quickly looked it up. Despite finding out it had already cancelled I thought I'd watch the first episode at least, it's a nice little sci-fi drama, really enjoying it.
Also watching the recent The Prisoner remake, I never did see the original but this is really good. Some great mystery to it that's keeping me interested, really looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Got first three seasons of Rescue Me:
Such an awesome show. Hillarity with mix of drama, really great show so far and I'm only in episode 6. I have already seen second season but I really don't remember it that well but if my memory servece me correct it's even better than first season so I'm really waiting forward to it. Also I got the 3rd season on BD so kinda expecting to see how good the PQ is.

Well, the first two episodes of the show are the weakest (especially the second with a Paris Hilton cameo, yuck), but if anyone can make it to episode 5 and not be hooked, then that is a person I dont want to know.
Anyone comparing it to 90210 either hasnt really watched the show, or has heightened memories of 90210. VM is much better written and acted than 90210 ever was, and its got a dark undercurrent and noirish tones that 90210 never even approached.

Been getting into Lie To Me. Has me to the point that I walk around looking for micro expresisons/gestures so I can call people liars.
Just finished breaking bad season 1 and watched the first episode of season 2. This show is really great, i'm surprised they have managed to make a rather "silly" premise and make it feel believable with it's fantastic acting and writing.
I also find the show to be intense at times, the way it uses "silence" to increase the sense of tension is really well done. Looking forward to watching more later, especially since episode 1 of season 2 ended on a really intense moment.
One thing to note - i really like the use of chemistry in this show.:lol

How is it geared towards 15-year old girls? are you only saying that because the show's protagonist is a teenage girl? that's incredibly jaded. Since there's much more to the show then that.Defcon said:
picked up the battlestar galactica bluray set a month ago, and finally got around to watching the show in the past week or so, i've finished the first 2 seasons, and have to say that the show is pretty damn good
definately one of the better shows i've watched, i have some minor gripes, i can't really stand the guy who plays the chief, not a big fan of starbuck either
from a bluray standpoint, the show is a mixed bag, some stuff looks great, and other stuff not so nice, pretty sure the heavy grain is intended, but i dont care for it
