Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) 24 The Strain Prison Break (and its coming back in April ) Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul 12 Monkeys honorable mention: Fargo, Vikings, Pawn Stars, Gotham, Blacklist, Blindspot, Rogue, Falling Skies, Grimm, Oak Island, Americans, Sleepy Hollow, American Ninja Warrior, Homeland, the Killings, Rubicon- was the super brainiac version of 24, had to watch every minute of it or you would miss something, no multi-tasking on the computer here. SOOOO pissed they cancelled it after one season, its downfall was it had NO action and relied too much on brain power. If they show just a touch of action it would have one of the best ever. Still mad about it New Shows: Incorporated, Legion, Colony, Taboo, Shades of Blue, Bette and Joan As a derivative of the what to watch thread, what is everyone's top 5 series of all time ?I've got1. Mad Men. (Although less divorced Betty, More Roger Sterling would have been solid)2. The Wire. (I have a Jameson's or 3 in Baltimore for Mcnulty and Bunk often)3. Justified ( Boyd Crowder, Wynn Duffy, Mags Bennett best Villains in the game, https://www.google.com/amp/uproxx.com/tv/from-crowe-to-crowder-the-definitive-ranking-of-justified-villains/amp)4. Curb your Enthusiasm (Larry and Leon forever)5. Fargo. (Two separate seasons, nothing but intrigue)Others receiving votes --- Game of Thrones, Friday Night Lights, The Sopranos, True Detective, Pillars of the Earth never heard of the wire 1. True Detective (season 1)2. The Sopranos3. Breaking Bad4. Game of Thrones5. The Wire True detective season one was fantastic, totally ruined season two, how did they screw up a good show ?? 1. Mad Men (yes the BEST things in life are freeeee)2. 243. Star Trek (original series)4. The Twilight Zone5. House of CardsHonorable mentions to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and LouieLately been watching Legion which is really freakin cool and different from other super hero stuff, Taboo and People of Earth I can't believe there is not one mention of The Walking Dead. I just couldn't get into the whole zombie thing but it seems popular. Edited March 19, 2017 by Buffalo Barbarian

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Love it! I don't know how they can keep it this cool for multiple seasons but that show kicks ass. Taboo rocks too. Incorporated is cool too, a lot of good ideas though I feel like it has potential to be even better than its been so far. The guy's doctor wife is a fox. 24 is legendary, I can't bring myself to watch the new one for some reason. You may like Mad Men. Shockingly good storytelling and characters that breathe.
mead107 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Who is old enough to remember Sky King. Watched it on Saturday late mornings at my gram mothers. 50 plus years ago.
The Poojer Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Surprised Scrubs took so long to make an appearance. Love that Earl got some mentions. I'll throw Psych in the mix. Scrubs, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama... I only watch TV when I'm stoned.
eball Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Seinfeld Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul Game of Thrones The Walking Dead Cheers Yes, three (four) of those are recent/current shows, but that's because TV has gotten so much better. Seinfeld is still relevant today, if you can allow yourself to forget about cell phones and the internet. Cheers was just amazing back in the day.

What in tarnation ? Couldn't get down with Mad Men or Justified but Buffy the Vampire Slayer does it for you ? Different strokes for different folks. The Wire Fargo Battlestar Galactica Peaky Blinders Deadwood I just made it to Tommy Shelbys wedding in peaky blinders. It's getting good. Al Swerigen in deadwood is a hall of famer for sure.
McBeane Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Surprised Scrubs took so long to make an appearance. Love that Earl got some mentions. I'll throw Psych in the mix. Psych has always been underappreciated IMO. Especially when it was running, it never got the hype it deserved. Really good show.
