Dwain C. Baer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Although there have been several decent televised police shows over the years, Miami Vice will always be the COP show of the 1980's...at least in my opinion As a gift, I recieved the complete collection of Miami Vice episodes on DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underlug Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Firefly Justified (Gotta love a show based in KY) Battlestar Galactica (Old and New) Jericho - Cancelled way before its time! Band of Brothers Justified is just great. Being from KY makes it even better. I hope we get a season 3. Added this link for a promo for the show: Never missed Justified. The first episode really hooked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickster Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 So many really good series. Firefly Band of Brothers Dead Like Me Six Feet Under but one that hasn't been listed yet. It ran for about 14 two hour episodes on PBS. Sharps Rifles When I got the first episode on DVD I thought it was about the Buffalo Gun, The Sharps. Turns out it's about the exciting and romantic adventures of Richard Sharp. He gets a battlefield promotion from Wellington and is put in charge of a rough and tumble, rebellious, motley crew of "the chosen ones", which are the best sharpshooters England has to offer. Not being a "blue blood" he doesn't fit in, get along well, or give a darn about his fellow upper crust officers. Being a British made series about the Napoleonic wars the British accent takes a bit of getting used to, but certainly worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgnoyes Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I may have added to this back when; I didn't go through the whole thread to see. Nonetheless: Battlestar Galactica (SyFy remake) From the Earth to the Moon (HBO) Band of Brothers (HBO - the companion mini-series they did a few years later on the Pacific Theater was no where near as successful) All the Star Treks Doctor Who (modern day continuation on BBC America) Stargate SG-1 Stargate Atlantis Eureka Warehouse 13 Sanctuary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Dead Like Me I liked that one too. Candis and I just finished the Sopranos. She had seen it but I never did. At first I didn't like the ending, but after she explained the "homage-Godfather" factor, then I liked it. Overall I enjoyed it - start to finish. So now we are looking for a new series to watch. I tried her out on Breaking Bad, but overall it was just generally too depressing for her. Tried to get her into The Shield, but she didn't really like it either. She did like Sons of Anarchy, Deadwood, and Justified - we've seen all of those. So we're a little bit stuck. Maybe I'll just fire up the 16 DVD Monty Python collection.

I've never been more hooked then I am on "Persons of interest" Every bad guys gets at least on in the knee. That looks good, but unfortunately it's not available yet in Netflix - so I qued it. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After about 20 seconds of black screen, I just started laughing...... .....while everyone else in the room was asking "what just happened? Really? This is what we get?"

Tiny Warrior Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Nobody watched Homeland?? First season aired last year (right after Dexter). GREAT show, can't wait till this season starts in the fall. Of course Dexter is amazing, although I thought last season was the worst (except for the last scene of the season). We watch House too...only 2 more episodes left Grey's Anatomy Californication House of Lies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COF Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Deadwood Justified Southland Band of Brothers Game of Thrones - may have to stop watching since there hasn't been nearly enough sex or nudity in the last few episodes and my wife says that's the only reason I watch it.

mpolans Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Top 5: Hill Street Blues - Had it all...drama, comedy, action...great characters and well written. Sleeper Cell - Awesome mini-series about a guy infiltrating a terrorist cell on U.S. soil. Dexter - Some parts have been written a little too conveniently for him to keep his secret, but still interesting and has a great bunch of characters. Firefly - Some folks at Fox should be kicked in the nuts for cancelling this one. Original Twilight Zone - Classic. Lots of famous people guest starred before they were really famous; it's fun to try picking them out. Honorable Mentions: Law and Order - Just fun to watch. Shogun - Classic series with great acting. My mom's cousin was in it (Frankie Sakai - played Yabu). Battlestar Galactica (new one) Sherlock (BBC version) GCB The Closer Lie to Me CSI: Las Vegas Edited May 20, 2012 by mpolans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 One I haven't seen mentioned is Brotherhood. It was a Showtime series about 2 brothers in Rhode Island. One is a gangster and the other is a state congresscritter. It was kind of like The Wire crossed with The Sopranos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Geek Shooter Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Mini-Series: Band of Brothers Going to have to watch that again sometime this year. Jesse Stone (if it qualifies) Just watched all of them within a week or so last year. I usualy like major action, but it's nice to have a slow moving show now and again (well I guess since I watched them all within a week my comment doesn't hold water, but you get the idea). Firefly was awesome also, but too short, technically I guess it really was a mini-series really. TV: Battlestar Galactica (new version) The Shield Stargate Series (ALL) Dexter Spartacus (only seen the 2 seasons, watching 3rd soon though) Love action, but they do NOT need to do the over the top blood though. It could use __A LOT__ more nudity and sex though j/k Jericho was very good IIRC, but it's been awhile since seen it so don't remember if it'd knock any others out. Also The Walking Dead could take one of above, but haven't seen S02 yet, maybe next week I'll watch it. I hear Tudors is good and also Deadwood, I have them on my wishlist for this summer or this coming winter. I have Rome but haven't seen it yet (heard good things), now posting this will watch within the next 2 months or so. Also Person of Interest seems to be very good, watched first two and wanted to watch all in a row so waited for season to end and waiting for BR to come out. Honorable Mentions currently watching or haven't seen the last season or final season (if applicable ?): Sons of Anarchy Justitfied Californication Weeds Mad Men Like it since watch too many action ones, nice break sometimes and it's been very good. Know a woman who lived it decades ago (IIRC in NYC) and she said it's very accurate. Breaking Bad NCIS, NCIS LA Blue Bloods only seen first season, but liked it. The Walking Dead Haven't seen S02 yet though, but I assume it's awesome and different. Game of Thrones Only seen S01 so far. Thanks Griz, looking into Brotherhood tonight or this weekend.

McAllyn Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Hmmm,I haven't seen anyone say The X Files. Am I the only one who dug that? Sometimes,I wake up in a cold sweat yelling, "Scuuuullllllllyyyyy!" Ooops, TMI. Sorry. ETA: Just read through posts and saw X Files already mentioned. Sorry. Other than that, in no particular order: Modern Entourage Californication (I catch myself saying "Church" frequently, because of this show) Breaking Bad Spartacus (only saw the first season, but it was awesome) Top Gear (UK only, the US clowns are ruining it) Big Bang Theory Not so Modern Dukes of Hazzard Miami Vice M*A*S*H Star Trek: TNG I'm sure there's others, but these are what came to mind.
