Big Bang Theory
Sounds like Evilbore: The Show
MAD MEN
Heroes.
Sounds like Evilbore: The Show
It's more like NeoGaf: The Show but yeah.
I don't see how anyone actively posting on message boards can deride that show (except for those self-loathers which are everywhere,) it's the same thing except condensed and with attractive people.
No TV series will live up to what you've just watched, sorry.
Oz has many similar elements to the Wire though, and an almost astounding amount of crossover in terms of the cast. The show is almost ruined by its patronizing liberal politics, but the drama between some of the characters is pretty gripping.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - fuck Deadwood.
Deadwood is only good for one season - the first one - after that it just becomes incredibly painful. They turn up the Shakespearean dialogue to 11 in seasons 2 and 3 to the point where becomes a complete distraction. It was like the writers became punch drunk with the positive press about the unique delivery in the show that they decided to beat the living shit out it for the remaining two seasons. And speaking of those 2 seasons, so little actually goes on that you'll be better off staring at the wall for 24hrs than waste it on this. Granted, season 3 had all the makings of great television and I was really enjoying it (minus the labored dialogue of course) but the last episode, the climax......holy fucking shit donkey. What a fucking douchebag way to go out. Anyone that actually liked that (and god knows I've seen people online actually trying to defend that BS) should have their testicles stapled to the drool cup that's hanging below their chins. Galactically lame way to end a series. It was like if at the end of Lord of the Rings at the siege of Minas Tirith everyone just shook hands and went home. The End. Roll credits.

CARNIVALE! has only two seasons too, so you'll be done quickly. s1 is mindblowingly awesome. s2 is still great. sadly ends on a sort of cliffhanger, which was inevitable though :/
What's wrong with Big Bang Theory?
If you surf/post message boards you must be equally sick at yourself since that's where all their material comes from.
I think it's a pretty clever show occasionally, Sheldon is great and the blonde is nice to look at.

It's more like what a Hollywood writer thinks we talk about, after catching just enough of the lingo to make it seem superficially accurate. It's also unapologetic about casting them all as irredeemably socially damaged. I've watched three episodes while traveling business class, and even though it seems to be about my peer group, none of them would ever be flying business class, or they'd be complete dorks about riding in business. I dunno it was about as funny and tied to reality as Three's Company. Not exactly Wire follow-up material.
I have far more embarrassing guilty pleasures than Big Bang Theory. Like Scrubs :-\spoiler (click to show/hide)At least I didn't say Friends[close]
I didn't post it as a recommendation, I was just sticking up for it. The fact that it's my favorite live action sitcom on TV currently isn't indicitive of it's overall quality. It's nowhere near my top list of all-time sitcoms.
That said, I find it amusing that someone who would wade through gaf/eb for hours on end would be so vehemently opposed to the show.
If you haven't seen Rome, that should be your next show. Hands down.:bow
Also, it's been a few years, and it's likely tainted with a bit of nostalgia for me, but the old HBO series "From the Earth to the Moon" was a great watch, and never seems to get brought up in these threads. Each episode chronicled a different Apollo mission, in a dramatic fashion. I loved it, and I think it's pretty accessable, even if you're not into space/astronaut-y stuff.$10 from slavemart, i picked it up recently
It's the show where you can stare at these if you've already read all their jokes on gaf and don't like real life people spouting memes:

Boobs+blonde hair sure make you people go blind. smh :yuck
Thats the spirit!
But seriously It's a goddamn shame that maybe with exception of the UK (not even sure about that tough) nobody in good'ol europe even knows about this gem.
And @kafka: Just make sure that you watch till the last season and not quit before that (don't want to spoil anything but the second to last season was kinda boring) because that was one of the strongest one of the whole series.
Which brings me to the question what to watch if you've seen both the sopranos and the wire?
Already saw LOST, Heroes, Breaking Bad, Rome and I'm not remotely interested in Deadwood and Carnivale. Underbelly was not as good as expected (the idea of an australian mafia is rather amusing even if its supposed to be based on a true story ..)
Maybe Oz or the Shield? Is Trueblood any good?spoiler (click to show/hide)Oh and btw. nothing fucks with Buffy or Angel, yeah I'm serious[close]
