These are shows that i've been on the fence about watching and still haven't been "pushed over the edge" to get around seeing at least one of them.

Battlestar Galactica
Friday Night Lights
The Wire
Deadwood
Mad Men

Cheebs · « **Reply #1 on:** February 03, 2009, 05:42:09 PM »

All of them. Seriously, all worth watching. Pick any of them and you'll be good.

I'm guessing The Wire will win, I've only seen Mad Men and can recommend that.

Dude, The Wire.

Mad Men, I started it yesterday and love it so far, the only bad thing is that I was out of cigarretes yestarday while watching it

MMaRsu · « **Reply #8 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:40:29 PM »

The Wire is fucking awesome..but I voted Deadwood cause Season 1 was better than Season 1 from The Wire imo.

Beezy · « **Reply #9 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:44:44 PM »

I have to go with The Wire.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2009, 07:21:12 PM »

Of those shows, I've only seen a few minutes of Mad Men so I recommend that.

BSG might either be totally awesome, or totally gay depending on these last few episodes.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2009, 07:24:52 PM »

Watch them all, but try to marathon BSG right now so you can start watching season 4.5 with the rest of us.

Mad Men is brilliant, but you've got until July before season three starts.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2009, 08:15:52 PM »

The Wire is the best show on that list

great show but that's a horrible promo pic

etiolate · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2009, 08:23:48 PM »

Mad Men, followed by Deadwood. Fuck the rest.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2009, 08:55:13 PM »

For those recommending Deadwood, have you even seen seasons 2 and 3? I mean, yeah, season 1 is fucking awesome but season 2 and 3 (especially season 3!) are a complete trainwreck. The Shakespearean dialogue goes into hyperdrive and by the end of the series nothing has happened. I've never seen a more anticlimactic end to anything in my entire life. The last episode in season 3 is like one gigantic "fuck you!" to the viewer.

The only way I could ever recommend Deadwood to anyone is if they stop at the end of season 1 and just forget that there's a season 2 and 3 out there.

Season 3 was the best season. SMH

I got towards the middle of season 3 of Deadwood before I needed a break. Season 2 does have a rough spot, but it does get going in a nice way. The problem the show has is that it wants its protagonist and antagonist to be on friendly terms far too much.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #21 on:** February 03, 2009, 11:30:34 PM »

Ya season two has a really really slow spot in it.

Yeah I thought Season 1 was the best...seasons 2 and 3 are mediocre.

If something would've happened at the end then I'd agree but I just can't look past that ending. The whole season was building to, or at least hinting at, a major confrontation but what do we get? Nothing. It was like someone just pulled the plug and everyone walked away. And what the fuck was the deal with the theater troupe? I mean they added absolutely no point to anything other than to pad out some of the epsiodes. What a waste.

They fucked up that series which is a shame 'cause I still think season 1 is brilliant, I just can't accept what happened afterwards.

If he hasn't seen this than I agree. But everyone watches it, or at least I'd hope so. House is the best tv drama in the last 10 years.

That photo has three hot women in it, yet it somehow manages to be the gayest thing I've ever seen. wow

But, yeah, House is awesome.
