Good TV shows?

[Stinkum]

Looking for a new good show to watch. Listed above are some I havent seen yet or suggest a good one. As far as my taste my favorites are your standard The Wire/Sopranos/Breaking Bad/Boardwalk Empire/Game of Thrones type of stuff.

[Greegon]

New series came out this past friday called "Dracula", pretty f'in cool man give it a go

[SamwiseRed]

naw tv so bad.

[Greegon]

as far as movies go watch stargate+pumpkinhead hehehe

[Stinkum]

Poll added with some of the options im currently weighing.. Will set the DVR for Dracula. As far as Samwise, most of it, for sure. But plenty of shows that are just amazing storytelling and great characters. Dont think anyone can dawg on the Sopanos for example.

[Com_Truise]

Deadwood is fucking fantastic.

[Fame]

Walking dead, good shit.

[SamwiseRed]

im gonna be a faggot here and recommend fullmetal alchemy, i dont even like anime but better than any show ive watched recently.

best real show ive seen in awhile is definitely Spartacus season 1. warning alot of cocks.

[Bazia]

This spelling dog like dawg shit needs to stop

Shits rustling me reel good

[Bazia]

mystic knights of tier na nog

imo

[Rellapse35]

Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels

all 3 are great will take you a few days to watch them all

[Rellapse35]

Eastbound & Down new season started if you like funny shit.

[Lionfish Roundup]

Jericho

lost

breaking bad

weeds

[Lionfish Roundup]

Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels

all 3 are great will take you a few days to watch them all

you need a fucking job

[Rellapse35]

dum as fuk

[Clark]

Walking Dead

[Fawqueue]

Surprisingly, you're getting some solid suggestions here. If it's on HBO, Showtime, AMC, or FX it's worth a look. Carnivale was an awesome, albeit short-lived (two seasons) series on HBO. Still one of my favorites.

But if you've got a Netflix subscription, you can get on right now and set yourself up with The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, and Hell on Wheels to keep you busy for a while. I think someone even suggested those exact three already.

[myxomatosii]

If you're into SciFi

Star Trek (I've included a recommended starter episode in each series)


Star Trek: The Original Series (not even joking)
for nostalgia, background, and more
-- episode: the city on the edge of forever, shore leave, trouble with tribbles, the corbomite maneuver


Star Trek: The Next Generation
for philosophy, strategy, dialogue, introspection, and idealism
-- episode: lower decks, first contact, the inner light


Star Trek: Deep Space 9
for politics, seediness, backstabbing, reality, camaraderie, and lies (oh and lots of mirror . . heh) - and s38!
-- episode: the visitor, progress [the episode that gave my druid his name!]


Star Trek: Voyager
[precursor: the doctor is the best part of this series]
for technobabble, captain overmanagement, the worst vulcan, and a retarded crew
-- episode: death wish


Star Trek: Enterprise (better than people say it is, especially end of season 1 to the end of season 2)
[ugh time war]
for a crew made of plastic and hollywood, modern sparklies, shiny sets, and a true-to-form imagining of pre-kirk star trek
-- episode: the andorian incident, dear doctor, carbon creek, dead stop

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Firefly (obviously)
-- only 14 eps, extremely immersive, starts up quick


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Battle Star Galactica (all along the watch towers!)
-- one of the most intense and interesting first episodes in a series i've ever seen


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i rank Deadwood right up behind the wire and the sopranos, and i generally am not a fan of the setting, but deadwood ascends above it's genre imo, and HBO did not fail to deliver. show was cut short (and u feel it in season 3) because the stupid ass creator (David Milch) abandoned the show to work on his failure of a dream show called "John from Cincinnati".


also, it wasnt on your list, but check out "Vikings"

Sons of Anarchy is a few seasons deep and may be a pita to catch up on, but its a another show i watch weekly.


and if you havent seen Archer, stop what you're doing and watch it right now

[Smedy]

Walking dead is loosing me quickly from this latest season, nothing of interest is happening, pure garbage atm.

I hope it picks back up cuz it sucks now.

[Something'Witty]

best real show ive seen in awhile is definitely Spartacus season 1. warning alot of cocks.

I agree. Season 1 was great, so was season 2 (prequel). Unfortunately the actor that played Spartacus died at the end of season 1, and the new Spartacus in season 3 & 4 wasn't nearly as good imo. Still a good series.

Also Rome was really good. I liked it more than Spartacus.

If you have netflix The IT Crowd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IT_Crowd), House of Cards, and Come Fly with Me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Fly_with_Me_%282010_TV_series%29) are all pretty good.

Finally, I have a love-hate relationship with the West Wing. At times it is amazing, followed by 1-6 episodes of boring.

[Dirkus]

Attack on Titan - watch it you slack jawed faggots

I had another friend recommend this to me. I really need to watch it.

[Barkingturtle]

Deadwood.

[Gaffin']

This. I wish there was more survival, IE leaving that prison, its just gotten boring being at the same spot for 2 years. I literally cant watch 10 mins of this show anymore. Definately is shit now. All drama about kids and love story. No good action.

^^^

Lost me at the same point for the same reasons.

[Lowlife]

American Horror Story is pretty cool, the latest season is kind of lame though, its about witches or something? idk

[Kergan]

Sherlock (BBC version, with Spock from the new Star Trek movies). It's not setup like a normal show, the seasons are 3 "episodes" that are like 2 hours long. But it's really good.

Weeds is solid, but no Breaking Bad by any stretch of the imagination.

Deadwood was absolutely fantastic, too bad it had to end when it did. Rome solid also, but I liked Spartacus better after season 1.

If you like comedy I enjoy Parks and Rec, Community, South Park, Eastbound and Down.

True Blood was pretty good last season and the first couple, middle seasons sucked.

I'm starting to find Walking Dead a little too bleak. It's like you're just waiting for every character to die in some horrific fashion, which I guess is kind of the point of the show but it wears on you after awhile.

It's kind of the same reason I got sick of 24 after awhile, it was just constantly too intense like staring at a bright light for too long...just gave me a headache.

Lost was awesome season 1 and took a dump from there, and had one of the most retarded endings/plot twists ever. Same deal with Heroes - awesome first season and shit the bed afterwards.

[Lammy]

Strike Back and Banshee on the MAX!

[pharmakos]

i used to be into serious shows, but now i pretty much only watch comedies

Family Guy
Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Futurama
Trailer Park Boys

etc

[Zade]

Firefly is good, but they cancelled it right as you get involved. Loved the chick from V in it.

Tanked is a good show if you like fish tanks. The 2 dudes are pretty funny too. Remind me of my RL pals.

Ghost Hunters (since its halloween)

Doctor Who, ofc.

Terra Nova ( same case as firefly)

some out of the box ideas :P

[Retti_]

Zade...

[Mingo]

Pras lord jesus, i have been waiting my entire life for a show about fish tanks and it appears my prayers have been answered.

[Zade]

if you like fish tanks.

if not, stfu and dont watch it <3

[Mingo]

just joshing pal. i thought the prerequisite "if you like fish tanks" was a phrase possibly never posted on project 1999 before. i wanted to be a part of this novel territory.

[Zade]

i break ground

[Agatha]

no shit you like fish tanks too? I just moved and i decided to upgrade to a bigger tank. check it out.

[Heisenberg]

Twin Peaks :)

hands down weird shit... as the season goes on the script writing goes downhill like hell,
but all in all I really enjoyed it :) in kind of a "it's so bad it's actually awesome" way

Also I really like David Lynch :D

[pharmakos]

Homeland

[Terpuntine]

re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.. do it

[Grubbz]

best tv show i have ever watched was Persons Unknown, it ran for 1 season but it was the shit!

Welcome to Level 2!

[Greegon]

Star Trek: Voyager
[precursor: the doctor is the best part of this series]


lol every time they run out of ideas the doctor goes berserk
personally I hated DS9 couldn't get into it

again tho gotta recommend the new dracula show to everyone

[Pitborn]

Eastbound and Down.

The League.

The Wire.

Wilfred.

Archer - Best animated series in the history of television.

[Greegon]

wilfred is amazing as hell

[mwllowyellow2]

Married with Children best show ever

[Lojik]

Misfits...at least the first couple of seasons

[Auchae]

Remember The Riches

[Aprisle]

Breaking Bad and House!

[susvain0362]

mad men son

[Kergan]

House and The League were two others mentioned that are worth checking out! Sherlock from the BBC is in the same vein as house, but I think better written. The League is A+ if you are into fantasy football and B+ if you're not. I know it's campy as hell but I actually enjoyed Merlin (another BBC show) especially the last season.

[Rhuobhe]

Uncle Grandpa

[HippoNipple]

The Golden Girls

[Darksinga]

For Sci Fy/Fantasy I like: Supernatural, Merlin, Continuum, and Arrow.

Another good one you may enjoy on Netflix is Legend of the Seeker. Absolutely horrible TV show if you've read the books, but if you haven't read the Sword of Truth series the shows pretty good on action.

PS to the Zade haters, Tanked has it's funny moments xD

[pharmakos]

if you guys like cheesy shit, check out Todd and the Book of Pure Evil on netflix

its like Buffy the Vampire Slayer with dick jokes

[FoxxHound]

I like Being Human, and Walking Dead. Some animamamamames too. (For currents)

[Chronoburn]

The League.

Not sure how I forgot this ... this show is hilarious

[Isic]

Boardwalk Empire, enough said ....

[Zade]

PS to the Zade haters, Tanked has it's funny moments xD

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

[Kergan]

Boardwalk Empire, enough said ....

I actually like Boardwalk Empire better than the Sopranos. Sort of a similar underlying theme (crime family drama) but in a lot of ways this is a story about the origins of organized crime - like nationally organized. If you don't mind some slight spoilers, reading about some of the characters who were real people and how things went for them in real life gives you a new perspective to a lot of the interactions in the show.

Just the whole prohibition era is more interesting for a show like this than modern day like The Sopranos.

[mugien]

Phineas & Furb

[Rhuobhe]

http://www.toysandcartoons.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Uncle-Grandpa.jpg

[Stinkum]

Hands down, Gyp Rosetti from Boardwalk was one of the coolest villain characters in a show ever. As far as comparing it to the Sopranos, I dunno. The Sopranos had a completely different intent as a show than Boardwalk. Both are brilliant in my book.

[Eslade]

No Supernatural? I am disappoint.
Grubbz and Darksinga are now my forever friends. pras the forever friends.

[Stinkum]

You know those shows where you wish you could go back in time so you could watch it for the first time again? That's the feel I'm lookin for bros.

[Retti_]

Phineas & Furb

Lold

[Kergan]

Sherlock from BBC man, I'm tellin' you. It's on Netflix too if you have that. The final episode of the 2nd season was epic.

Exactly!

Here's a sweet hour and a half movie called "Battle of Chernobyl" on youtube, obviously covering the chernobyl accident:

Will post more videos of people throwing crap off of the building only to die couple weeks later soon hehehe
