Unwatched Shows with Universal Acclaim
It's sunday, my laziest day. The day I flip a coin on continuing the bender or chewing B vitamins to prepare for monday.
Inspired by that bullshit Empire thread, I was thinking about what I should watch for the next 16 hours and it hit me that I should detail an off top list of the shows i've heard nothing but rave reviews, but can't seem to pull the trigger on starting. Perhaps all you Ebert & Roepers (75k, Rip) can point me in the right direction.
Haven't Seen:
Cheers
The West Wing
The Newsroom
House of Cards
Six Feet Under
Shameless
The X-files
Girls
Veep
The Americans
Masters of Sex
Downton Abby
EMPIRE (LOL)
OZ
MASH
The Blacklist
Nip/Tuck
The Tudors
Sex in the City
Nurse Jackie
These shows have all been around a couple seasons or more, which make the investment of catching up pretty difficult. Especially for something like Cheers, where you know it's going to consume a fuck load of your time for a 1980s sitcom, but I hear it might be the best comedy ever.

If Fonzie were gay, black, and homeless, he would be Omar.
And your lack of Ginnifer Godwin's pokies on Big Love leaves me questioning your sexual preference.
Entourage, Band of Brothers, Friday Night Lights. All better than the chick shit on your list. Even if you're homo - there are hot dudes on those shows, too.
Blacklist. Christ.
@haie I'm completely up to date on Vikings, great show.
House of Cards is good. The first season is really good.
Newsroom is OK. They give too much time for sappy office romances and the writers get too cute with the one liners.
I watched a few SexCitys years ago. For a womyn's show, not bad. At the time I had this bi woman roommate that always watched it (would have hit, nice rack). I haven't seen any of the rest.
Six Feet Under - Surprised me, put it off for years but actually liked the show.
Shameless - naked Emmy Rossum
The Americans - cold war espionage, 80's music, & occasionally Keri Russel's naked butt appears.
Masters of Sex - naked Lizzie Caplan
The Tudors - naked Natalie Dormer (and quite a few others)
You know you want to
Scandal is good, until it isn't.
Game of Thrones is good too.
As is Boardwalk Empire.
I've read the GoT books (just had to tell the world) so definitely all over that show.
The Jeremy Irons/Showtime version not the cheap knockoff.
