Breaking Bad (waiting, still waiting!)

Deadwood (don't watch the last episode)

Spartacus: Blood And Sand (violence, blood, and nudity)

The Wire (still great)

Curb Your Enthusiasm (funny)

Arrested Development (funny)

Can't believe Rescue Me hasn't been mentioned! That's the best show I have ever seen.

Samcro was good but remember someone here bad-mouthing it - I thought it was good though.

Finished season 1 of Walking Dead this week which wasn't bad. THe lead guy is a United supporter too.

Game of Thrones is worth a watch for the head-chopping and naked wench action. It's doing wonders for the employment opportunities of Brit-actors if nothing else...

Unnecessarily harsh. Spartacus is tits and violence, it is what it is. Rome was ok, but they pulled the plug, instead of the planned 5 seasons there is only two with the story for the 3rd and 4th crammed into the last few episodes of season two. Shame as this award winning project ended up a hurried mess, there was a lot of disappointment because of this over here. Why not watch both eh?

Californication. (Loosely) Based on a weird combination of the lives of Hank Chinaski (from Bukowski's Factotum) and Warren Zevon, with a healthy dose of modern hipster (can't believe I just used that term, never again) humor. Should incite much laughter, or disgust, depending on what you're looking for in a show. But if diggum Samcro, may well diggum Californication.

Reruns of "The Rifleman" (1958-1963) and "Combat!" (1962-1967).

Oh...and anytime a PBS (Public Broadcasting Service/USA) affiliate puts Brit-coms, such as "Fawlty Towers (John Cleese) and "Black Adder" (Rowan Atkinson), into heavy rotation.

We've recently taken on a boarder who happens to be a 21 yr old female. This has tipped the voting balance in the house to the estrogen side and I now get to watch such thrilling shows as "The Batchlorette", and "The Kardashians", as well as the Enews! channel and anything with a red carpet in it. If I didn't have beer I would hang myself from the satellite dish to mess up the signal.
