What shows do you watch?
Ones that will probably get me ridiculed.
Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice
House
Brothers & Sisters

I'm trying to get into Dexter but it's not really happening for me...

LOST and practically any Joss Whedon show rewatch.

Ehhh I'm not sure how much interest I have in LOST. Is there much to it beyond a bunch of people trying to get off an island? And didn't they get off and then go back and get stuck again for some ridiculous reason? Or I might be making that part up.

And I might actually go back and re-watch Buffy. I used to love it. Even had the game for my hot pink game boy - I was a pretty cool kid.

That's the basic premise, but the details are what make it a good show. It's probably the best written show on television in the past X years. There's a lot more to why they're on the island. Give the first season a shot. It's on Hulu. And don't just skip ahead to the middle, it'll make your brain hurt. The show isn't episodic at all and you can't just choose one and enjoy it.

Alright I'll try it. Hopefully I like it, although it just finished for good like this week or last didn't it? I guess I chose the wrong time to pick it up.

The Finale is Sunday. It's never a wrong time to pick up this show. The writers had this whole story planned out more or less when they started it and announced halfway through that the end would be this week for the show. It shows that they've got a story to tell rather than a show to make, if that makes any sense.

Oh and the female lead's name is Kate.

I'm about half way through the first pilot now - it seems alright so far. I didn't find a few good quality video though :(

Definitely enjoying the use of Kate - and this Jack guy is pretty hot.

Are you not watching it on Hulu? 480p isn't amazing but it could be worse.

Edit: Add me on MSN or something? iamco3 ~at~ live.com

Right, like I know how to do that. I'm the only one on here who has little to no technical ability.

Burn Notice
and
Chuck

They're both about secret spy hush-hush stuff. The former is badass. The latter is noobish but funny.

Maybe you can try getting into anime. I really like Code Geass, and I plan on watching Full Metal Alchemist. Everyone tells me to watch it, so it must be good.

Will most certainly give those a try. As it turns out I've got a pile of time on my hands this summer.

Can't say I'm really an anime fan. Just not really something I'm interested in I guess, never have been.

Watch Brotherhood. The original anime can't compare to the manga's story.

Also Kate... have you watched any more Lost?

Nah, no more Lost so far. I'm almost done season 3 of Buffy though!

Breaking Bad I may have to check out. Tried Heroes already when the first few seasons were on and I couldn't really get in to it. And I know HIMYM inside and out.
