My brother got me season 1 of Arrested Development for Christmas and I immediately bought the 2nd and 3rd seasons after watching the first episode. Just finished up the very last episode last night. 
So funny. And I've been watching the old X-men cartoons from the 90's because for some reason my cousin bought all of them recently. :lol Good times.

3 seasons, what should have been Showtime's big hit. Great acting from the cast, particularly Jason Isaacs as the fucking mean and brutal Michael Caffee.
It's like The Wire meets the Irish Sopranos in Rhode Island. Tommy Caffee represents the political side and Michael belongs to the criminals. And the ending was really good and reminded me a bit of The Godfather part 2.

Me too and agreed. I watched the first two seasons in about 4 days. Not gonna do this again soon because the second day I dreamed about the show. :lol One thing that annoys me thoughthreenote said:
is the Sarah/Chuck relationship. They've been in the same place for two seasons already which I wouldn't care about if there weren't those annoying moments at the end of most episodes (it looks like they will kiss but they don't). It would really help the show if they either became a real couple or just stopped with all that.

Just started Supernatural, I'm about 6 episodes into the first season. Cheesy at times but I'm having fun watching it.

Tried watching the pilot of The Deep End, primarily because the showrunner was/is involved with HIMYM, and I had to stop within ten minutes. It's no dramedy version of Damages or twin of Grey's Anatomy, as it is so painfully intended to be - both of those shows entail a heightened reality or illusory conceit maintained by fine acting and a certain air of believability. The Deep End, however, is a brand of falsity readily apparent to anyone with tangible knowledge of the workaday life in the profession and, furthermore, its overly-bombastic quality is marked enough to break the suspension of belief even for the layman viewer. Quite the failure.

Started watching Band of Brothers after seeing the behind the scenes of The Pacific in theaters. 2 episodes in, don't know why I didn't watch it sooner.

Happened to come across the first episode on TV the other day. Found it surprisingly good.
Now a few episodes in and I'm hooked!

That's S3. S4 is okay but the Nancy Botwin story and character go downhill pretty quickly. The various sub plots and other characters are still interesting enough to watch though, and it's still pretty funny. S5 is a soap opera, and if you don't mind putting up with the shittyness of Nancy's story, the supporting cast still delivers for the most part.
They also scrapped the opening theme, which pissed me off a bit.

Isn't he now on Grey's Anatomy though? Maybe it only works for good shows.
Kevin, please move on. You're better than that shit. He could make a good Stannis for A Game of Thrones if the series gets that far. Hopefully that Rome movie becomes a reality.

Keep with it! I have 2 episodes left of Season 2 and it just gets better and better. So much so I bought Season 3&4 pretty sure they would be great. I almost quit around where you were too, but I am so glad I stayed.
Started re-watching Lost Season 5 again for obvious reasons. Its amazing how much you can miss and forget in this show.

Right now I'm doing a Simpsons S3 run. Whenever I'm eating, this is one of the main shows I have to watch.

I'm not sure why exactly, but I stayed away from Chuck for the longest time. Maybe because the show came across as cheesy, which isn't what I generally like to watch. Many, many people here and critics elsewhere kept saying the show was not just good, but great, though, so I picked it up. I still had reservations, but I watched the first three episodes last night, and it. was. awesome. I can't believe I didn't give this a shot earlier. Any doubts about this show flew out the window the moment the words "...not an accountant." were uttered. Just a great show. Action that puts television's other "hero" shows to shame, and laughs that trump the majority of comedies on network tv. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the episodes to come, so thanks to Cornballer, Solo, and all the other people that recommended this show.
I watch mostly cartoon, so I am always on cartoon network: Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, King of The Hill, Frisky Dingo...whatever they decide to change there schedule to. xD I also like Chowder, Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Flap Jack, Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers and Robot Chicken. <_<>_>

Yeah, in the sense that random shows I come across while flipping channels usually don't hold my interest, much less make me want to watch the whole series!
Spooks. Not sure if it's well known in America, but its one of the best crime/action drama's in the UK.
It's better than 24.
I love both though. But Spooks is just fucking fantastic. I'm watching Season 7 at the moment. I only really began watching it now after being surprised at one very good episode. Need to buy the other seasons.

Are you smarter then a 5th grader? First time I watched it.
And no, I'm not smarter then a 5th grader
I feel like I'm in that area where I've "seen everything worth seeing", so finding a new show has been really hard lately.
I'm an absolute rabid Lost fan, so I've been re-watching season 5 to get it fresh in my head.
I'm coming up to season 3 of Six Feet Under. Once I finish that show, I think it's time to begin The Wire. Most people can't believe I haven't seen that yet, but I've kind of kept it for that day when I really have seen everything.

That's how I was. I tried to take as long as I possibly could to stretch out the goodness. But rewatching is awesome for AD too, so don't be sad

I've been watching The Big Bang Theory. I'm zipping through season two right now. Is there any particular reason why the episodes are not around 24 mins long? Are there more commercials on CBS?

Been watching Recess off my DVR. Maybe my childhood nostalgia is clouding my judgment, but it holds up very well.
Also, my brother got me into 24, and I'm up to the beginning of season 5. Can't believe I never got into this show before; I love it!

Yep, same here. Just finished S2 and I'm already sad. I almost died laughing at the
Gob and Lindsay chicken dance and at Gob's video for George-Michael election
Contemplating rewatching the Wire.

Yeah, it was one of my favourite 90s cartoons as well. Nothing on Darkwing Duck and Daria, though. (I also want to say Hey Arnold! but I've forgotten most of the things I liked about it; which probably isn't a good sign.)

personally, i watched the first two seasons at their release, got tired of it, and never looked back.
as far as what i've heard, coupled with my experience with the first two seasons, to your question i would say no. it does not get better. it just is what it is, and you either like it or don't.
