TV Show Recommendations?
 

Alright I've finally started The West Wing. I've heard good things about The Wire, but what other "must watch" TV shows do you recommend?

You've got to check out Mad Men (Sundays at 10 on AMC) and Soutland (when it returns in December on TNT).

I'm obsessive about starting shows at the beginning so I'll have to request get the first season of Mad Men first :p

I can't remember if I watched Southland or not, probably means I should try again.

Echo the recommendations for Mad Men and Southland. Add Breaking Bad to the list!

Oh is BB the one with the teacher selling drugs?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is hysterically funny!

He's a chemistry teacher who turned to making (and selling) meth - really, really high quality meth made in steel tanks - as a way of paying for his cancer treatments. You can imagine the side stories from there. The acting is REALLY good and so are the storylines.

Sweet, added to my list. Between the Library, for now, and the Netflix, in the future, I should be good to go :D

Not that I don't want more ideas!

Do you watch Glee?

I do!

TY for the suggestions everyone, please keep them coming. Particularly for shows that are out on DVD now too. My mom's posessive of her DVR so I'm keeping the current stuff to Hulu.

I'm liking The Glades.

Tell me more

It's on A&E. Cop from Chicago who lost his job because he was having an affair with his chief's wife ("well, so was everyone else at the station") ends up in South Florida (the Everglades). Has kind of an Elmore Leonard feel to it, with a great main character. I think there have been 3 episodes so far.

The Wire really is as good as everyone says it is.

And I adore Weeds.

My husband and teenage sons love "Always Sunny" ... pure escapist fare.
