Like most of the people here, I rarely find something worth watching on network television. I have no interest in American reality television and I got fed up with procedurals (CSI, NCIS, House, Bones, etc.) a long time ago. The only exception being Castle because of Nathan Fillion (Browncoats!). The "Cable" channels (HBO, Showcase, FX ...) usually make better television because they mostly have shorter seasons. A season with 24 episodes is more often than not 30 to 40% filler.
Sons of Anarchy,
Justified (so underrated), Deadwood,
Lost,
Rubicon, Game of Thrones,
Southland (great cop show), Rescue Me (great cast), The Walking Dead, Fringe, SGU,
Firefly and BSG are all great shows.
The only shows I really watch on a regular basis anymore are Community, ...
I love the show but it has problems. One week it's the greatest thing on TV (Modern Warfare, Contemporary American Poultry and Paradigms of Human Memory ... the mother of flashback episodes.) and the next week it's bland and just ok.
Homeland (Showtime) is about a sergeant who has returned home from Iraq, but is suspected of being "flipped" and plotting an attack on America.
Damien Lewis (Band of Brothers) is the main reason why I watched the pilot but it turned out to be a great show. I'm just wondering where the series will go after they played out the "friend or foe" angle.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand was very good. (HBO).
Spartacus was on Starz. Not really sure what they've done since. :/
Spartacus: Blood and Sand was pretty good and Spartacus: Gods of the Arena was very decent for a rushed "prequel". I hope Liam McIntyre will be able to build on Andy Whitfield's performance and keep the momentum going in season 2.
Camelot was drab but you guys should definitely take a look at
Boss with Kelsey Grammer. The first 3 episodes are worth watching for Grammer's performance alone.
Boss: The series follows Tom Kane, the mayor of Chicago, who has recently been diagnosed with DLB, a degenerative neurological disorder. Determined to remain in charge, Kane conceals the disease from everyone around him.
