So I used to watch lots of anime, but I've seen most of the good stuff and I finally got around to picking up a TV show I'd always meant to watch but didn't. I snagged the first season of Veronica Mars and its not good stuff but its pretty perfect for, back from work, too tired to even play games just want to turn off brain for one hour and hear good story while drinking post work b33rs.
I guess what I'm looking for here are recommendations on other shows. I've literally almost never watched TV. I wasn't allowed to as a young child and outside of ST:TNG I never did. In HS I watched some comedy/sitcom crap and Simpson's in the backround while being a gamer. As an adult. Nothing. Except Entourage, Oz, Buffy, Over There and The Shield + various docs, discovery channel and things I watched with gf's.
So, what have I missed? I don't need anyone saying "everything on HBO" I know I need to watch BSG, I will, someday, I've seen the first 2.5 seasons, but I sort of lost track of it. So I'm stuck in that don't want to watch everything over again, but don't want to pick it up where I left off having forgot some of the key details limbo. What are the sort of fun, sort of corny, but quality entertainment shows that I should have seen?
I'd read the TV thread but fuck me that thing is a monster. Did smallville stay good? The first season was bad but Kristen Kruek (sp?) is so insanely hot and it seems like it could have been cool once it became something more then, random HS student turns into mutant via kryptonite and gets defeated by the end of the ep.
Beyond Smallville, and possibly Firefly which I saw a few episodes of and thought it was meh, good show but god that opening song sucks balls. Also having seen Cowboy Bebop it is up against very stiff competition if its going to try so hard to be a space western. I have no idea where to even start.
Thx f13.
For someone who doesnt think they have watched much TV in thepast two decades....judging by your list you have watched way more than me.
Only show I would recommend outside of Discovery or National Geographic Channel.....by and watch the whole West Wing series.
