View Full Version : TV Ideas for TV series for the holidays
Hi all
Apart from comedies i have never been into many tv series because i find most of them boring and hard to get into. I used to find House enthralling, funny and witty. i loved it (the first 3 series), since then iv never found a show equal to it on tv. Untill about 6 months ago when i acquired and watched all the Bosten Legal then all the Entourage. Both shows were brilliant but now im stumped as to what other show i would find as enjoyable as those three.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Not sure where your tastes lie or whether you're prepared to go back to watch shows from a few years ago.
At the moment I watch Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, In Treatment, True Blood, Californication and Weeds. All different ongoing shows at various seasons.
Past shows I highly recommend would be The Wire, Six Feet Under, Veronica Mars and Freaks and Geeks.
Someone made a thread like this a few weeks ago - which has some good suggestions in it:

Thank You!
this show is epic, first 2 seasons were great anyway, many many characters, no real heros and villains just different sides.
show has serious depth and i encourage anyone with a brain and time to burn to give this show a go, fantastic.

I just got through watching the first three seasons on Mad Men in a few weeks. Go with that.
I've also just ordered the first season of Friday Night Lights on DVD, so we'll see how that goes.
