    After watching The Walking Dead, I thought I might be missing out on some good tv shows from America.


    I looked at one list of "25 Best TV Shows" (see link) and started downloading Breaking Bad. I watched the first 2 episodes of season 1 last night and it looks pretty awesome.


    Any other suggestions? Just things from the last 5 years or so at the most. Thanks.

    Ur gonna love Breaking Bad. It's awesome.


    Check out "Hell on Wheels" also produced by AMC like Breaking Bad and Walking Dead.


    "The Colony" is pretty cool. It's a reality based experiment. There are 2 seasons of it. From Discovery Channel I think.

    Yeah, some good documentaries would be good also. People are always talking about that Drugs Inc. series. I might have to dwnld some of those as well.

    Californication. David Duchovny is a counter culture author who compulsively bangs hotties while living a drunken stoned out binge. Tits, ass, drugs and an actual plot line to boot.

    TV at its finest


    ALways Sunny in Philadelpia - Pure fucking gold and so many seasons. Laugh a minute


    Deadliest catch is way cool. Most REAL show on television...period.


    Game of Thrones. One of the deepest plots i've ever seen. They even kill off the main character the first season. So badass.


    Curb Your Enthusiasm- Best comedy show ever. Larry David guy who made up Seinfeld is the main character. Mostly improv. Every single character is a comedy improv genius. Mostly everyone on the show is Jewish (in real life), too. Pretty interesting.


    I would list more but those are like top of the barrel and I cannot think of anything else.


    Deadliest catch is not really worth a "top of the barrel" shout-out but I could see myself doing that for a year and I really enjoy seeing something truly reality. It kinda catches a fantasy of mine. Super fucking cool man. Those guys are really hard workers.

    Breaking Bad is the single best TV show I've ever seen, you're gonna love it, it just keeps getting better as the story progresses.


    Game of Thrones is my number 2 favorite TV show, once you start watching, its impossible to stop.


    I also like Justified, it turned out to be a better show than expected.

    Oooh oooh....UK telly...the Misfits or Doc Martin. Doc Martin is a fun trip into dry brit humor. It's become a favorite of mine over the past few months.

    Wilfred is great,whats not to like about a guy who smokes bongs with a dog:thumbsup: Like skuzz says misfits is good bit of fun.I like prisonbreak. Best tv show EVER has to be The Wire:notworthy: I got every episode and it never grows old,quality telly:thumbsup:Boardwalk empires ok too but mainly i watch a lotta UK tv on netflix or on tivo.I dig the old stargate sg1 and atlantis stuff and other dodgy shit but on the whole when i do watch tv i tune into reality stuff like crime channels The first 48 or History channels Storage Wars and American Pickers,anything on discovery or history is what im into and i catch the other stuff online.Peace:jj:

    LOST, Always Sunny, Misfits UK, Being Human UK, Weeds, The Event but it was cancelled too early but I heard it may come back to be picked up by Netflix and Falling Skies also cancelled too early but has been picked up for a season after everybody got all mad about it. Modern Family is very funny and Trueblood is the only vampire show a dude might like...I love it. Downton Abbey if you can get into that sort of thing.


    And a bunch of dudes like Entourage but I don't...I think it's more of a guy's show.
