I need a new tv show to get into! Recommend one plz?

post #1 of 32
Thread Starter 
I really need a new tv show to get into! I'm currently watching 2 but they are on the same night, so the rest of the week I got no shows to watch I was watching a 3rd show but it is on a break before the new season starts (and who knows when that will be!), another 2 shows I had been watching, haven't been renewed for a new season, which is fine as they had had several seasons anyway.

Any tv shows you would recommend I take a look at? fwiw I don't like sci-fi much

Which shows do you currently watch? That might help to know. Here's what I usually watch, by night, if I am home!

Monday: How I Met Your Mother (CBS 8:00)
Tuesday: Biggest Loser (NBC 8:00)
Wednesday: The Middle (ABC 8:30); Glee (Fox 9:00)
Thursday: Community; Parks & Rec; The Office; 30 Rock (NBC from 8-10)
Sunday: Next Iron Chef (Food Network, 9:00)

I can't stay up late enough to watch the following shows, so I watch them "On Demand":

Wednesday: Top Chef (Bravo, 10:00)
Thursday: Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX, 10:00)

modern family!
Always Sunny takes a particular brand of humor (i love it, but many find it offensive)

Do you have netflix?
you can watch online- lots of shows from the beginning of the series- I'm watching the tudors and dexter now. weeds is on the watch instant, too.

all 3 seasons of arrested development are on hulu.com (my favorite show)

i love top chef, but no bravo here..

DH and I are lucky enough to have DVR, so we follow quite a few shows.

Right now we're watching:
Tuesday: So You think you can dance & The visitors (V) V is si-fi though
Wednesday: So you think you can dance, Glee and I watch Modern family online - Modern family is hilarious! Definitely recommend it. I think Nip/tuck comes on wednesday too, we tape that as well.
Thursday - the office
Friday - Say yes to the dress, I may be slighly addicted to this show. Although most of the show I'm doing this >> Because these girls go in there with wedding dress budgets of $5,000!

I was watching Mercy, but I think I forgot to tape it after we moved a couple weeks ago. I really liked it as well!

I just wanted to say that I feel your pain, Wed. is DH's night here too, he also watches UFC. I hate it!



I like cheesy shows. I could be a teenage girl at heart.

Mon - Gossip Girl
Tues - the new 90210. I hated it at first because it's nothing like the original, but then I somehow got addicted.
Wed - DH's UFC night, but I sometimes get to watch Nip/Tuck. If not then I watch it online
Thurs - Project Runway

Then during the day sometimes I watch stuff while DS is asleep like Say Yes To The Dress, the Duggars, What Not To Wear, and HGTV

Brothers and Sisters
Heroes
House
So you think you can dance
The biggest loser
Glee
Grey's Anatomy

I wish I had time to watch TV...I DVR most of these show and they end up getting deleted before I get to watch them because i just never have time. Except for Grey's Anatomy...I ALWAYS make time for Grey's! <3

I'm not normally a big tv fan, but I'm lazy due to late pregnancy and I love knitting and watching my shows after the kids are in bed.

Monday: House, Big Bang Theory
Wednesday: Glee
Thursday: Bones, Fringe

I love all of those, I am totally sucked in to them

I have no idea why, but I am also addicted to this show. $5K always sounds cheapo to me now. I love for them to pick out insane dresses! This show has made me crazy.

I have to tell you, DH and I married at home, and my dress was around $400, I think. I have never seen it, but I think I would love Platinum Babies -- about people with wild, unbelieveable nursery budgets. Also funny, b/c of course we co-sleep, cloth diaper, and so forth. I just like to marvel and be irritained by this kind of thing.

I like ABC's new show Flashback, which I watch on hulu.com. I think it comes on Thursday at 8. My favorite show is House, MD -- especially if you like good acting and interesting medical stuff like Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery. Glee is WONDERFUL. Also available on hulu (Fox Wed 9 pm, I think).

If you enjoy the supernatural: Ghost Whisperer is hands-down my fave show (CBS Fri at 8) and Medium is on right after on the same network. I record them both and then get up *early* on Saturday to watch alone!

Sunday - Amazing Race, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters
Monday - Big Bang Theory
Tuesday - Biggest Loser
Wednesday - used to be Hell's Kitchen
Thursday - Survivor
Friday - I don't think I watch anything

I also have the DVR set up to record all new Mythbusters, Good Eats, Law & Order regular and SVU and those are the shows I watch during the summer or when I can't find anything else interesting.
