Bombadil 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 The 3 Pillars of quality US TV The Sopranos The West Wing The Wire As much as I've enjoyed parts of 24, Heroes, Rome and that, nothing has come close to those three. Battlestar Gallactica is supposed to be up there with them like, but I've not seen it. It is. It's too confusing to know where to start. Do I need to watch the original series? The mini series? The 4 recent series? The TV Movies? The Webisodes? No need to watch the original series. Start with the first movie (which is the pilot for the series), then watch the first three series, then watch the 'Razor' movie, then watch series 4. I wouldn't bother with the mini series or webisodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Cant wait for Series 3 of Brotherhood to start at the end of the month. Other than that, its Dexter, Weeds and Entourage for me. Watched the first series of the Unit which was decidedly average, 3 episodes into Generation Kill which is spot on and I have something called "Sleeper Cell" thats been sitting for ages, might give that a go soon.

sammynb 3342 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Rome 2 - not as many breasts as the first series Try The Tudors, it will more than make up for Rome. Yeah Jimbo the Tudors was great up until episode 5 or 6, then it dried up also. They all do. It's like they make it past six episodes and all of a sudden the female actors decide they are more than the sum of their breasts. Look at Kim Catrall in Sex in the, the first episode she was willing to show all but the money shot, by the end it was a bit of leg and the occassional cunt!

NJS 4355 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Other than that, its Dexter, Weeds I had a persistent cough/bronchitis last month which meant "sleeping" in my armchair with the tv on all night and that meant I caught repeats of Weeds on Sky. You don't want to know how many people I would happily see killed for 5 minutes with Mary Louise Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Lost - Far-fetched now though. Prison Break - Getting better 24 - Jack Bauer, unbeatable. Ross Kemp on Gangs: Good Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30167 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Lost - Far-fetched now though. Aye, because I mistook the first series for a documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Really enjoying the new series of The Sarah Connor Chronicles so far, but I am a huge fan of the Terminator movies and it really does follow on nicely. Fringe is good and I'm enjoying it but I'm not completely hooked. And Heroes is an improvement on series two but that's not saying much. There are a few things I get on DVD like The Shield, Lost and Prison Break but I've still not got the most recent series of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've just watched the first few episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (I know, waaaaay behind the times) and fuck me, it's hilarious I expect 'Merikan TV bods like Jimbo will know the score and seen it a few years back.

Toonraider 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Ive only seen a couple episodes, but I quite like 'By any means' Hardly watched Long way round and Long way down though, think maybe I might. Should I bother? Saw a trailor for a series with Griff Rhys Jones presenting, looked quite interesting. Not sure when it starts or what its called though! Love Dexter. When oh when is Shameless due back?? Edited October 2, 2008 by Toonraider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Channel4’s Shameless is back again, as filming begins on series six of the multi award-winning drama series. The Gallaghers, The Maguires, and all the lawless, loveable characters of the Chatsworth Estate return for 16 new and unpredictable episodes for 2009. This series promises benefit fraud, brothels, stints in jail and stings gone wrong, with fake suicides, cold turkey, joyriding, lesbian romps, lingerie parties, revenge and a trip to the seaside to boot – all life-affirming events in the world of this Manchester estate.
