Recommend me a tv show (part 2)

I couldn't find the original thread. Please recommend some quality tv since I appear to have watched everything decent + a lot of shite.

I don't watch terrestrial tv other than for Dragons Den and the Apprentice as a rule. I don't like sci-fi or similar (so please no buffy / Angel / Star Trek / Stargate etc)

I have watched a lot of US shows, so let me list what I can remember here:

24
Brotherhood
Californication
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Damages
Desperate Housewives
Dexter
Entourage
Extras
Gavin and Stacey
Heroes
Lost
Max and Paddy
My Name is Earl
Nip Tuck
Peep Show
Prison Break
Rescue Me
Ross Kemp On Gangs
Scrubs
Seinfeld
Sleeper Cell
Standoff
The Corner
The Office US
The Shield
The Sopranos
The Wire
Thief
Weeds

Another one I did that with was deadwood, it just didn't hit me right away so I sacked it off.

Re: Recommend me a tv show (part 2)

Patience my man patience, it's HBO and it's ace.

Once I've been through this I'm gonna check out Homicide.

There's very litte around now that I haven't already plundered, so I'm gonna have to start looking back for inspiration.

EDIT - I see no Band of Brothers in your list either, you need to sort that shit out ASAP!

Arrested Development sounds familiar so I will look in to that.

Yea, I loved dexter and can't wait to see where they take it from here. I have read the first 2 books and the 1st one is pretty poor but the 2nd one is great/gruesome.

Dexter ( Dexter TV Show - Dexter Television Series :: Dexter TV Series :: Summary/Synopsis ) ~ The latest episode 02x12, The British Invasion, aired @ Dec 16 2007, the next episode 03x01, Season 3, Episode 1, will air @ Sep 30 2008

September is going to be great for tv, we have:

Dexter s03
Entourage s05

and...

...

..

.

The mighty Vic Mackey - The Shield Final season 7

Sounds like you've got a good schedule there mate, Trailer Park Boys is just class. GF TV recommendations are great.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

It's excellent. Watched series 1 and 2, just started on series 3. Four-20 somethings plus their 'father' running an Irish bar in Philadelphia. A lower down bunch of self centred backstabbing bastards I've yet to meet. SO funny.
