I recently bingewatched The Wire, after hearing about it for 10 years. I have made it through 4 seasons, which are supposeabley the best seasons.If Fonzie were gay, black, and homeless, he would be Omar.
House of Cards - Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are badasses. Usually.Six Feet Under - Surprised me, put it off for years but actually liked the show.Shameless - naked Emmy RossumThe Americans - cold war espionage, 80's music, & occasionally Keri Russel's naked butt appears.Masters of Sex - naked Lizzie CaplanThe Tudors - naked Natalie Dormer (and quite a few others)
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 - Not an investment, but worth watching as you do shit like laundry foldingThe West Wing - Fuck ... serious?The Newsroom - No ideaHouse of Cards - Kick ass ... It's like crack once you start, you can't stopSix Feet Under - Good show, great endingShameless - no clueThe X-files - WeirdGirls - Odd, but like a train wreck ... you watch but not sure whyVeep - Never sawThe Americans - Great showMasters of Sex - Hear it is goodDownton Abby - If you're a chicEMPIRE (LOL) - BlacksOZ - Male prison rape, lots of violence, but a good show, until it isn't. Jumps the shark real quickMASH - 70'sThe Blacklist - Really?Nip/Tuck - TerribleThe Tudors - BoringSex in the City - for gays and womenNurse Jackie - huh?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.

I'm currently vested in NYPD Blue and Scandal.Scandal is good, until it isn't.Game of Thrones is good too.As is Boardwalk Empire.
