I've heard Breaking Bad is the best thing on TV right now.

It is very well done.

Now If I could just find a place to watch them online....

Burn Notice (season 4 just started)
CSI Miami
V (the remake, season 1 was aired and it was renewed for season 2, not sure when that will air)

its very good. common, its malcolms (in the middle) father, cooking crystal meth. too funny. this actor really got some talent besides the malcolms-father-comedy. but then again, theres the episode with the fly in the lab  :lol:

ok, now i have to see if i can lay my hands on some of the series you all mentioned. thx again.

I'd say it is.  Admittedly season 3 is being kind of erratic with the writing (WTF episode 10!? :lol:) but overall it's been amazing.

CooperHawkes, your mileage may vary, but I really enjoyed the first season of Eastbound and Down :)

Re: need advice: any good and new tv-series?
breaking bad is a real gem. ok, 3x10 was a bit out of context, but what the heck... it was a funny episode.
just look at 3x12, funny (never saw a man making a sad face like hank schrader after receiving that kind of "treatment") AND dramatic. wtf, the ending... deep down, "heissenberg" really is a bad ass. cant wait for 3x13.

"eastbound and down" looks interessting, too.

Yeah it's utterly horrible. The spontaneity of the doctor has gone from mildly amusing to a cringe-worthy send-up and the cardboard writing seems to have been intensified tenfold.

I just don lieks.


Each to there own i guess, but I've found it superior than anything Tennant and Eccleston did!


I wouldn't say smith is superior to Tennant but he is just as good IMHO

I had my doubts when it was announced that Matt Smith was to be the new Doctor, I thought he looked a little too young, but then I realised that I am getting older! LOL Like when you start to think policemen are getting too young these days!

But after seeing him in action, he reminds me of Tom Baker! Best Doctor Ever!  :yes:

I wouldn't say Matt Smith is the best Doctor but the writing for this season has definitely been way above the level of the shows before. The last episode (Vincent and the Doctor) was amazing.

very recent show that's so-far excellent is FOX's "The Good Guys", which is about a pair of detectives for small property damage in texas, whose cases slip into the realm of standoffs and car chases.
awesome show.
record it.

Re: need advice: any good and new tv-series?
i knew someone that was obsessed with burn notice.  just never could get into it.

I used to watch Heroes, but after forcing myself to watch some of the last season, i finally gave up.  they're trying way, way, WAY too hard.

I watched Lost.  was devastated when it ended, and so i had to take on another series, and i started watching 24 :)

I still watch The Office

I still watch How I Met Your Mother :)

You know what would have been nice?  If Lost had actually answered (see: finished) half of the crap it started.

That's why I prefer to think of the whole thing as the dog's dream.

Why?


That reminds me, another good show that was on a while ago, the 4400

The problem with heroes is that the writers actually figured out that there aren't any problems that can't be solved with proper use of time travel, and that sylar is perfectly capable of killing absolutely everyone.

Burn Notice.  Best thing on TV now that the Stanley Cup is over.  Although, it really should be watched in order, so you have some catching up to do if you haven't been watching it already.  But it's well worth it. 
Srsly?  I caught an episode or two of it, and the dialogue was nothing short of cringe-worthy.  Especially the narration by the main character.  "The most important rule of being a spy is to avoid being seen."  *headdesk*

So you completely missed the humor aspect of the show then I see.

These folks talking about the best shows on now? Ignore them. Go rent The Wire; it's the best thing that's ever been on.
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.
