so what are some good shows on Netflix streaming, now that i got it. Every damn thing I search for is not available.
pick and choose according to your tastes osrry if the descriptions aren't the best, I'm fairly drunk right now. bold means highly suggested.
Mad Men - if you want a dense, dense character study television. for my money, it's the best show currently on tv
Spartacus - if you want blood and tits and ROAR and cheeseburger cock, watch blood and sand first. Gods of the Arena is a prequel.
Star Trek (original, TNG, Voyager, DS9, Enterprise) - for awesome space opera
Battlestar Galactica 2004 - if you want more great space opera
Battlestar Galactica original - if you want MORE great space opera
Friday Night Lights - great sports drama
Psych - A great sleuth tv series. Watch if you're into detective work.
Dexter - A serial killer kills shit. No one knows he kills. This is his story.
Twlight Zone - if you have any taste at all
Twin Peaks - if you want a badass drama/mystery helmed by none other than david lynch
Samurai Champloo - if you want a high flying, kung pow kicking, samurai anime with hip hop inspiration, slick animation and good music
Married with Children - NOSTALGIA also one of the greatest sit coms ever
Pushing Daisies - if you want a unique comedy with a dark sense of humor. it's about this dude who has the ability to bring things from the dead, but at the expense of taking away someone else's life.
Ugly Betty - ARRIBA ARRIBA TACOS AND BURRITOS! If you want a fun show that has a funny take on the magazine/fashion industry with a colorful cast and Grim Fandango's Manny Calavera playing as the main character's father
X-Files - NOSTALGIA! if you want...well, nostalgia
Prison Break - if you want to watch a prison break and action and drama
Jericho - takes place after a nuclear blast shuts a town off from the rest of the world, great tv, underrated
24 - JACK BAUER
Louie - the best stand up comedian today has his own show. Owns.
Luther - Stringer Bell stars in a detective story! If you haven't noticed I really like mysteries.
Lie To Me - one of the better crime dramas on tv right now
Doctor Who - if you have NEVER watched Doctor Who this is a good place. It starts from the 2005 reboot. 6 seasons, 13 eps per season, all awesome.
Torchwood - Doctor Who spin off show. Great.
Eureka - Dude finds out that every single person in town is secretly a scientist working in a research facility. weird but fun.
Switched At Birth - Name is all you need to know. Two women find out they were switched at birth. Drama ensues!
Sherlock - recent television series adaptation of the classic character and his tales. owns.
South Park - like, almost every season. owns.
Jersey Shore - this shit is fucking hilarious
Parks and Recreation - for my money, this is one of the best comedies on tv. underrated and highly suggested. catch up for the new season.
30 Rock - Great comedy show, a bit uneven, but enough time to catch up for the new season!
The League - Great comedy show about a fantasy football league on the aforementioned (on this page?) FX. Owns. And I don't even play fantasy football.
Archer - Another great FX show, this time a cartoon. Fucking hilarious, highly suggested.
Party Down - Party. Hard.
BUFFY the Vampire Slayer - Hello, my name is Himuro and I'm a Joss Whedonaholic.
Trailer Park Boys -

As you can see my tastes skew towards drama but there's some solid comedy on there. No Simpsons though.
Netflix tv selection is very diverse and is the main thing that has me coming back constantly.
