any good tv shows people should be checking out?
If you like 300 type stuff the two spartacus seasons are really good. Didn't care much for the first couple episodes, but it got better and better as the season went on and turned out to be really good.
Just started watching camelot. Saw the first 4 episodes. it's good, but so far doesn't have anything that makes me have to watch the next episode right away like some shows do.
heard walking dead is good. probably check that out next.

I watched the Pillars of the Earth mini-series, it started off really good but kinda tailed off the last few episodes, but worth a watch, its on Netflix instant.
Walking Dead was awesome, I am ready for it to come back on. We had a watch party for it every Sunday night, it included drinking games, so the show may not actually be that good. But I think it was.

watched pillars of earth. it was eh. had its moments, but there were so many parts where you'd be like wtf?
*spoiler*
like when the girl is raped and her brothers ear is cut off, then it cuts to other scenes then comes back to them and the two guys are asleep. you just raped a girl and cut off an ear so you go to sleep? then instead of the girl and guy killing them what do they do? leave them be, escape to the street, and then kill some random guy so he won't be loud.
then the guy that raped also kills all these people, could care less, but then when the builder says he'll go to hell the guy freaks out.

Yeah, like I said, it could have been a lot better. I like the premise of a show like that, maybe somebody will do one that is better.
Since Lost went off most TV has seemed very underwhelming.

I mostly just watch the Giants games, but also watch every new episode of Modern Family and Psych with my wife. Heard Parks & Recreation was pretty good so I watched an episode the other day; it was good but nothing special.

Not to mention, you can pretty much wait and find everything online to watch.

justed started watch the wire. its old school but i never got around to it sirp, the wire might just be the greatest show ever on television. at the very least it is my favorite show ever. 20 years from now, that show will still be relevant.

ya, since Lost went off the air, nothing has been must watch TV
we haven't cancel cable yet (although I fucking hate this new xfinity bullshit with a passion.....fucking stupid how comcast can actual get fuckign worse)....
but we did cancel showtime....just watch weeds, nurse jackie and californication online
as for regular tv, here are some thoughts on shows I currently follow:
--Burn Notice - I'm ready for the new season to start. Probably my favorite hour long show on regular cable. Love Bruce Campbell.
--the Office - The show should have quit with Steve Carrol. Those last 3 episodes with him were fucking gold. I'm not one to get emotional, but the endings of each of the last 3 episodes with him were powerful (wedding proposal, office signing him the rent song, and micheal and pam in the airport). Will Ferrel sucked and the show probably should just shut it down with steve carrol, even if I like the other characters. The writers are going to fuck this up.
--Community - Has took it to another level this year with it's constant meta-on-meta-on-meta layering.
--Parks and Rec - I didn't like the show at first, but it has shown the most steady improvement of the nbc comedies and is now great.
--big bang, HIMYM, modern family....still in constant rotation
--Chuck - just thought I'd throw it in here since it got renewed for 13 final episodes. Happy to hear writers can plan for season finale instead of being in limbo each year not knowing if the season finale cliffhanger was also the series finale.
--good wife - Really like that show in terms of court dramas. My wife was a regular watcher and she slowly got me to see it wasn't just some Law and Order or Boston Legal clone.
I keep trying to watch Breaking Bad, but I just get distracted. Either I never go to that station, or when I do watch it live or dvr, I find something else to take my time.
I haven't seen what the big deal is about Mad Men. Also one that just doesn't capture my attention.
Has anyone went back and watched all the Lost DVD's since the show has went off.

i don't guess anyone here watches supernatural. i watch fringe too. first season was ok, but really started to pick up in season 2. although the last few eps of season 3 were kind of hit or miss
