What TV shows would you recommend? Lately I've been watching Boston Legal, Family Guy, and Doctor Who--All great shows and highly addictive!

i'm one of the masses hooked on 'lost'. other series my wife and i have plowed through have been 'arrested development', 'dexter', the first few seasons of 'law and order' (after which we couldn't find subtitles for them), 'the office' (US version, as that's the only one we could find subtitles for), and 'rome'.

That's still around?

I saw season 1 here on Korean TV and I loved it. Especially the finale....

Do you watch it through torrents or youtube or what?

Hey Clown, I'm a big fan of Law and Order (You can't go wrong with any version but I find Special Victims Unit to be my favorite). The Tudors is a fantastic show with only two seasons. If you like animated madness, you should check out Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Venture Brothers and the Boondocks.

Oh I love Robot Chicken and Curb Your Enthusiasm! Have to check out Ultimate Fighter--I watched it last year but didn't know it was still going. Haven't heard of The Wire but it looks kinda cool. Nowhere Man...that's kind of like Life on Mars or 24, isn't it?

Weeds is good, but the premise (recently widowed upper-middle class woman becomes neighborhood drug dealer to support her two kids) requires a serious suspension of disbelief. Every time I watch that show I ask myself "How many 1/8's would you have to sling to make a mortgage payment on a McMansion?"

Heroes is also good; also requires suspension of disbelief - for obvious reasons.

There was a show on Sci Fi last year called "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" where regular people would vie for a chance to be marketed as a superhero if they could pass a series of challenges, like on The Apprentice. Pretty good, actually.

Is the guy on Dexter the same guy that was the gay dude on Six Feet Under???

Yes, Michael C. Hall was the gay dude on Six Feet Under. Is that show good?
