people seem to be talking about Game of Thrones a fair bit. Personally haven't seen it yet or read the books, but definitely on my to watch list once i have some time!

Also:
Community and 30 rock, which have just finished their seasons.

Yes. Yes you should. The ending to the second-to-last episode of season three made me literally jump out of my seat and shout "HOLY ****!" And I was home alone.

I have seen one episode of Community, where they play a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Was pretty fuckin funny

My God, that was one of the funniest episodes of television I've ever seen.

The day that episode was on TV, I'd just got my home cinema installed. 55" 1080p with surround sound (I'd spent most of my life with small TV's, so I just wasn't prepared).

The episode itself was pretty damn great, but from the moment the final scene began (with the tension-building music) I was blown away. Then, as it came to the very end, the surround sound system started roaring really loudly, but I couldn't quite place the sound...it sounds like, is that a...SMASH

Like you, I shouted "OH FUUCKKK" and my heart was racing for ages afterward.

Actually, the day after that episode aired, I posted about my reaction, and several other guys said they did the exact same thing. My brother doesn't have cable, so he has to Netflix everything, and Season 3 hasn't come out quite yet. I told him about my reaction to that episode but didn't spoil it for him, and he's been dying to see it for nearly a year now. Poor bastard.

Is that the episode where Walt has the "hit and run"?

 

[JLM84]

Human Planet (BBC) -- if you like planet earth then you'll be obsessed with this.. Such good footage.. unbelievable. Seriously missing out if you don't watch at least one episode

Locked Up Abroad -- (National Geographic) -- Just like the title says, people get locked up abroad and return to tell their stories. Insane.

Repo Games / Cash Cab (I just like trivia..)

A couple more thoughts:

Red Dwarf
Lexx (weird but good)
Cheers

For animated shows, I love Duckman, The Venture Brothers, and Invader Zim.

 

[NeedMoney]

Dexter (Seasons 1 & 2)
Weeds (Seasons 1&2)

The Wire (All seasons)

 

[ShaunHWright]

You should definitely watch Modern Family and see if you can track down seasons of Whose Line Is It Anyway. That show was the BOMB !
