>>9129899Helfer <3
We have that shit.Not by /tv/ though.Then some individuals passing their preferences as "/tv/'s list".Have a good day, Sir.
Firefly
>>9129913looks like they've just named every decent show.
Wizards
>>9129924Second that
not really a must watch, but i enjoyed it immensely.
>>9129913you really only need to watch that top line of shows. Everything else is pretty ok but not mandatory
>>9129913Most of those don't really deserve to be on there but it does have all the best shows so it's okay.
>>9129998is there a list that only has the best shows thou?
>>9130006Probably not.Sometimes you have to watch terrible shows at least though too, to be a /tv/fag. Lost and Heroes season 1 at least, for instance.
This.
>>9130026/tv/ likes heroes?that shit is well, shit.
>>9130037Better than Lost.
>>9129906thisagain and again this
don't watch the wire
guide to comedy
>>9130079cool optical illusion
>>9130079That's probably the worst list on /tv/Fucking Big Bang Theory? REALLY?!
>>9130093I don't see it.
>>9130089yarr, here be an excellent list.
>>9130079>Big Bang>Heroes>Dark angel>Vampire Diaries >Torchwood>SmallvilleFucking hell
father ted and red dwarf are probably my favorite comedy's
>>9130079>list2post list1 please
Breaking Bad.
>>9129899Is BSG episodic, or does it have a plot? I tried watching Star Trek: TNG but I couldn't finish the first season even though I thought it was interesting. I have a habit of watching several episodes at a time, and episodic stuff just doesn't taste right that way.
The best live-action shows to watch in no particular order: MASH (without the laugh track)Buffy the Vampire SlayerBreaking Bad S1FireflyAngel S2/S5Dexter S1WonderfallsPushing DaisiesVeronica Mars (slow but good)and some okay stuff to watch if you're bored:The X-Files (slow but okay)PsychJericho (slow but okay)But they hardly make you a /tv/fag, only L O S T and Avatar can do that.All the stuff TV tends to talk about the most has some fatal flaw that makes it simply terrible, because that's what causes the most hate and butthurt and the issue becomes articially popular and polarized. You might dismiss some of the shows I mentioned but you might ask WHY I mentioned them. I'm cool for discussion. I'll ignore butthurt though.
>>9130234Yes, but the ending sucks lol "god did it" what a fucking awful end
>>9130234plot
>>9130262This is much like a list I would make, if I was a tiny bit more humorless and a lot more mellodramatic.
>>9130262It's still shit, there's no way to salvage it. Also lol at SK deleting her post in shame.
>>9130257If that's how it really ends, thanks for telling me because I would have been pissed off about wasting so much time.
Spartacus: Blood & SandIt's seriously good, gets better and better with each episode.
Farscape
>>9130373As long as you don't watch the final, it's pretty good. Season 1 and 2 are epic. http://www.filmhobbit.com/television/Why-The-Battlestar-Galactica-Finale-Is-A-Huge-Cop-Out-And-It-Doesn-t-Matter-16337.html
>>9130373It is, although you can see it coming from the start. There's only about 3 great episodes. The rest are sort-of watchable but still crap.Watchable just means they are better than 75% of shows, which is sadly not much.
THE SHIELD.
All the people in this thread TRULY looking for stuff to watch, what sort of things do you consider to be too mellodramatic, too silly, too low budget, too plot-driven, too plotless, etc.
The Thick of It. One of the best shows out there, and it just got a third series green light.
DexterTrue BloodHouse (only season 1-4 though, and the end of season 5)Dr WhoThe WireSix Feet UnderThere's others but those are just the ones I've seen.
>>9129913Now with my own preferences.
>>9130405With such a worthless answer to all of the big questions, how thoughtful and deep could the show really be?>>9130416fuck yea
>>9129932>>9129908>>9129924>>9130392>>9130399>>9130471These. Plus Spaced, Brass Eye, Nathan Barley, The Office (UK) and League of Gentlemen.
>>9130554
>>9130583 >Brass EyeGUNISHMENT MOTHERFUCKER!
>>9130554>>9129913>Gilmore GirlsSeriously? That show is absolute garbage, what redeeming features does it have, because I struggle to see any.
I don't see Star Trek TNG in any of those lists.
>>9130633>Here we see a pedophile disguised as a school.>Yes, we must catch that man, he really is a shit.
>>9130634see above: uncomfortable reaction image

>>9130077Why would you say that?
>You can kill an otter in about a second. Just kick its face off.
>>9130599You know, whedonfag, we can agree to disagree.>>9130634I won't tell you. You seem to only deal in absolutes.
>>9130741I'm not that guy, but it's mellodramatic as fuck, and so slow. I get that it's considered cool if you can subject yourself to a lot of boring shit to allow an interesting story to be told, but there's stuff that can tell those same stories with metaphor instead, which aren't as boring. The Wire is very much for people who don't understand metaphor.

everybody lol at my tatste.
>>9130790
Battlestar Galactica is a great show. probably one of the greatest shows ever. hate on something else more deserving of your hate.
>>9130815I could exactly handle most of them, except terminator.That's just self-absue man.
>>9130781Fucking spot on picThe first four Gilmore Girls seasons are perfect lazy tv
>>9130790Or for people who want something realistic, not lazy symbolism to paste over those pesky conversations.
>>9130850i dont know what it was but i really enjoyed T:TSCCi guess i must have an issue with my taste in television showsor ive become a glaufag without realizing it >:(
>>9130850I think the quality of the TSCC is high but...TSCC is meant to be plot-based and the plot is a giant fucking plothole. It just doesn't work out. Glau was the only reason that show existed, and I don't care for it, despite liking Glau.
>>9130790Why use a metaphor when the actual story is as interesting as it is? And the show is far from melodramatic.
>>9130907If you want something realistic, go outside. Real life is far more interesting than The Wire.
>>9130741Because he's trolling.
>>9130907I'm genuinely curious as to what he watches if he expects everything to be done via metaphors. Seems he should be reading books, not watching tv.
>>9130918Never underestimate the power of the glau.
TSCC is great but it isnt worth watching because there isn't a conclusion to the series.
>>9130943i always wanted to see glau go to the prom with that latin guy or w/e from season 1 when john told her to say yes.
>>9130980I disagree. And honestly, this argument is tired. If you don't find the subject matter of The Wire to be interesting, that's kind of your own problem.
