The Kill Point was really cool & Day Break wasn't bad either thinking of less acclaimed US shows.
My favorite current shows in no paticular order are.
Entourage
Dexter
Friday Night Lights
Locked Up Abroad
The Deadliest Catch
Greys Anatomy
Top Chef
Older Shows
Wonder Years
Sopranos
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Cheers
Seinfeld
I got bored with 24 after a while but its an ok show.
And I'm totally with Jaz on the main character of Prison Break.
Anyway I've found out in the last few years that TV is really underrated, there is some amazing TV.
I would recommend highly
The Wire-greatest cop show ever and so much better than that piece of shit The Sopranos.
Lost-yeah ok its silly but very addictive.
Arrested Development-only three seasons before it got cancelled and you can get them cheap, maybe the greatest comedy show ever.
House is great one of the best shows i ever seen,Quote:

What diane said, you HAVE TO watch true blood, its starting on FX tonight though... but if you want to download them coz u cant be arsed to wait i have a megaupload account you can borrow if you haven't got one to dl them mate.
The Wire is brilliant. It's a must watch. Sooo many good characters..................fuck it I'm gonna watch it all again ;D
I only found out recently that in real life, the guy that plays McNulty went to Eaton and that Stringer Bell is a cockney ;D
Big H, make this your next one :cool:
Yeah, Tommy Carcetti is an Irishman as well.Quote:

Guess I'll have to take a look
WHAT?! Someone lied to you realllyyy bad..
if you miss an EPISODE of Lost, then you are.. well.. LOST!
Thinking back to the first season, there was some essential character development, and of course VERY important back story. The great thing about Lost is that you always have to remember things in past seasons.. That's the only way you can put things together.. it really may as well be one long season, as it's not like other shows where they change from season to season.. Lost is one long continuous, in depth, crazy ass story.
Come to think of it, the first season was one of my favorites, and i couldn't wait to watch the finale for that one.. if i watched the first and last episode only, i would have missed out on a great ride.
I only watch American shows too, hate British tv, where everything takes place in housing estates with chavs.
My fave programmes are Dexter, Lost and True Blood.
Dexter is probably the best of all them because they really push the boundaries sometimes. the conclusion to season one was insane, can't wait for this to come back on tv again!
I cannot watch television shows unless they are commercial free.
Dexter
Trueblood
The Tudors
Rome
Curb Your Enthusiasm
All watchable.
I have never watched a single episode of Lost, 24, Prison Break, etc.
My girlfriend sometimes watches House while I am sitting at the computer. I can hear the show but not see it... what I hear his a bunch of horse shit.
I can watch shows like Monster Quest and UFO Hunters that have commercial breaks. When there is no plotline to follow I'm fine with a quick pause for bathroom buisness.
American shows stink anymore...
The best shows we've ever had were based on British programs.
Sandford and Son = Steptoe and Son
Three's Company = Man About The House
All In The Family = Till Death Do Us Part
To Close For Comfort = Keep It In The Family
Then there are the ones with basicallly the same name
Cash In The Attic
Dog Eat Dog
American Idol
America's Got Talent
Who Wants To Be A Millionare
The Office
Kitchen Nightmares
Dancing With The Stars
Weakest Link
I think my all-time favorite BBC program is
All Creatures Great And Small
If you do not like this show you have serious mental problems. ;D
Anyone remember 'Homicide:Life on the street' ? Best cop show EVER...oh and Hill street Blues;D
Oh yeah, Dollhouse is pretty cool too.
I highly recommend Heroes and Dexter. those are really the only 2 shows I look forward too.
its weird though because besides those 2 I watch all UK shows like X Factor and Britains got Talent
