Same here. The whole series been available on Virgin on demand over the last few months. Currently waiting for episode 5 of season 6 to pop up.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand is what you want to watch JP. It has fighting and nudity. Win.

  • "Louie" - dark 30 min comedy w/Louis CK (my current favorite)
  • "Bored to Death" - great show by writer Jonathan Ames
  • "True Blood" is OK
  • "Entourage" - i should hate this sorta of thing, but i dig it. (plus Emmanuelle Chriqui is smokin hot)
  • "The Sarah Silverman Show" was great (while it lasted)
  • "Justified" - new series.
  • "Curb your Enthusiasm" - still great.

yeah Sopranos and Oz were both great shows.

I second "Louie". Only a few episodes out yet.

"Breaking Bad" is good.

How Not To Live Your Life - pretty good, some classic moments.

Peep Show - awesome - just watched season 6, then the whole lot again from the start.

Curb - Always watch it as soon as episodes are aired. Bit hit or miss. It's no Seinfeld, but it's still got some of the same edge.

Seinfeld - seen every episode about 5-15 times each. Love it, and will never tire of it.

that's funny, because I never was a big seinfeld fan. ive seen many of them, and i don;t dislike it, but i always love Curb way more. but yes some Curb seasons are better than others. i really liked last season w/ the seinfeld reunion.

Yeah, some of the episodes around the Seinfeld reunion were awesome, Larry David is a genius. Not as consistent as Seinfeld for me though. Strange that you're not so keen on Seinfeld. The early ones, even though pretty 'dated' now, are still classic, and the humour still relevant. I think for me Seinfeld is more relateable which makes me like it more.

I second Breaking Bad. I'm on the 3rd series and it's just getting better. Also a 4th series has just been approved.

Deadwood next on my list.

2nded! The lead guy off BB looks and acts just like my Dad (chemistry teacher persona that is. Not when he's making/ dealing drugs and being a psycho hard bastard though! :lol: ). So I really dig the character :)
