Best Serial Drama/Comedy to watch

[mark_m]

As some of you may know, we are currently boat less.. in our spare time, we are trying to be good parents, but we watch some television. Perhaps this should be a poll, but.. some of our favorites:

The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
24
Lost
Sons of Anarchy (I started this, but didn't move past few episodes, need to revisit)
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
House of Cards - Frank is an interesting character

Yours??

I loved 6 feet under.

I like Dexter, Nurse Jackie, Californication, and now we are on season 2 of Orange is the New Black.

The Shield
Rescue Me
Sons of Anarchy
The Walking Dead
Deadliest Catch

Boardwalk Empire

Carnivale was a decent one too, but I believe the ending was not satisfying.

One that we got hooked on while my wife was out due to neck surgery was CASTLE. Like it so much that we did marathon sessions of the past seasons.
Always been a fan of Jack (24), but damn, can he speak up once and a while?
Other than that it's baseball, football, softball, racing - sports mostly.

And of course, living in HeLL-A, we get a daily dose of "Death & Destruction"... you guys probably call it the Evening News.

I second Boardwalk Empire

Add in Criminal Minds

 

[GiddYupJoe]

An oldie but goodie is Boston Legal. James Spader and Bill Shatner were phenomenal the way the played off eachother.

We liked Six Feet Under when it was on too...primarily because it was such a surprise at what would happen each week! That is the last series I think we watched until Masters of Sex ran last season. Just watched the first episode of the new season of it last night! The opener was a little boring I admit, but maybe it will spool up again! Something about that Lizzy Caplan!

Much less deep...but "Big Bang Theory"

And I do enjoy "Survivor"....love the human dynamics of it. I keep thinking I'll get bored....but don't.

Heard rave reviews about 24, Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad, but haven't watched any of them....

With a 9 year old daughter, I have seen "America's Funniest Home Videos", "Andy Griffith", "Kicking It", "Pheneas and Ferb", and "The Cosby Show"...to name a few....and occasionally "Who's Line is it Anyway" (which has so many adult references that go over her head) and "Cash Cab"

I used to be in to network crime dramas ... I've grown quite sick of them and have slowly phased them out over the years. The exception is Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy.

I've got to say ... Breaking Bad was probably one of the absolute best shows I've ever watched. I could not get enough of this show and I'm still hoping for some sort of comeback. Everything about that show was well done. I've got similar feelings about Sons of Anarchy.

My favorite shows:
Modern Family
Roseanne (still love the re-runs)
Breaking Bad
Sons of Anarchy
Under the Dome
Suits
Top Gear USA
Big Bang Theory
Two and a Half Men
Pawn Stars
Revolution (recently cancelled)
Fringe
Archer
The Simpsons
The Americans

 

[Speedling]

I watch whatever my wife does.
dexter wasn't for me. Neither was walking dead. In the middle of Scandal which is decent. Also need to watch breaking bad.

dexter,
breaking bad,
how I met your mother,
starting game of thrones now,
trying to get into house of cards:

use to enjoy 24 and sons of anarchy but got a bit "silly"

The only TV we have in our house is Netflix and HBOGO so we are a bit limited..

@Julian: My daughter was on AFV a couple seasons ago (season 22?) with this GEM:

@justason give house of cards a little time, it gets better and better. By episode 3 or 4 you will be hooked.

I forgot to mention but added as edit to original post... Game of thrones

 

[96Pirate]

With a boat now I don't get too much time to watch TV. Have loads of stuff backed up on the DVR and will probably never watch all of it.

Some favorites and absolute musts for me though...(even though I am behind on a few of these)

24
Deadliest Catch
Sons of Anarchy
The Walking Dead
Hawaii 5-0
Falling Skies
Arrow
Survivor
Amazing Race

I have Breaking Bad queued up on Netflix but have not been able to watch yet.

Also like American Ninja Warrior, military shows and HGTV and DIY. Also want to watch Game of Thrones but I don't get HBO.

I have a nice home theater so movies have been more my thing but TV on a 110" screen is also pretty sweet.

My new favorite is "Last Ship"

 

[GiddYupJoe]

For those with netflix or HBO, East Bound and Down is a great watch.

My daughter is going to have to see this.....and try this I'm sure!

For all you SOA (Sons of Anarchy) fans....

What is Jax going to do to Gemma???? I think this season has been phenomenal. It just gets better and more dark and better and more dark. Too bad this is the end!

Homeland was awesome this week!
