Empire
You know you want to -
It's important to have a working knowledge of Cheers ... even though it took place in the 80s I've never felt that the show was per se a period piece that you couldn't watch today and feel like you were missing too many inside jokes as long as you have a bit of a working knowledge of the 80s.

Veep is hilarious.

I'm currently vested in NYPD Blue and Scandal.Doogles said: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 folding
The West Wing - Fuck ... serious?
The Newsroom - No idea
House of Cards - Kick ass ... It's like crack once you start, you can't stop
Six Feet Under - Good show, great ending
Shameless - no clue
The X-files - Weird
Girls - Odd, but like a train wreck ... you watch but not sure why
Veep - Never saw
The Americans - Great show
Masters of Sex - Hear it is good
Downton Abby - If you're a chic
EMPIRE (LOL) - Blacks
OZ - Male prison rape, lots of violence, but a good show, until it isn't. Jumps the shark real quick
MASH - 70's
The Blacklist - Really?
Nip/Tuck - Terrible
The Tudors - Boring
Sex in the City - for gays and women
Nurse 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.
Scandal is good, until it isn't.
Game of Thrones is good too.
As is Boardwalk Empire. -
Finished Boardwalk, it was good but a little overrated. Super Bleak and it was one of those historical fictions where the most interesting characters were the fake ones and there bloodshed was ultimately expected and predictable because it was so by the book.topdawgnc said:

I've read the GoT books (just had to tell the world) so definitely all over that show. -
My girlfriend loves scandal, but won't watch it with me in the room anymore because I can't stop laughing.topdawgnc said:

Boardwalk is good. I watched the pilot for Scandal but nothing in it convinced me to watch the second episode.

This group should watch In Therapy.

Borgias delivers murder, deceit and tittays.
The Jeremy Irons/Showtime version not the cheap knockoff.
