NFBR Rec a good TV show for DVR please!

[bimbi284]

H and I have hit a TV show black hole in that most of the shows we watch are no longer "in season".

I would ask the Entertainment board, but I really only post here, so yeah.

What's a good show we can DVR or Netflix or whatever??

We like a lot of comedy (The Office, Parks n Rec, New Girl, etc), but also some drama (Weeds, Mad Men).

We don't do vampires, law shows, or police shows...

Any recs??

We recently got caught up with Happy Endings (thanks for the rec Mav!)....so watcha got for me Fashion Passion?

Have you ever seen Leverage? This summer is season 5 on TNT. It's basically a group of con artists led by Timothy Hutton who have turned themselves around decided their lives to turnong cons on other cons to help the victims take advantage of the con artists. DH likes nothing on TV, but will watch 3 episodes in a row on the DVR. It's got a lot of one liners, stunts, and plot twists. This is their biggest season yet for stunts.

Royal Pains on USA is usually good. It's concierge medicine. They come up with some different ways to treat patients and it's not very soap operaish or big medical drama.

I also loved Entourage right before it went off and have caught several random episodes in syndication and on HBO. A lot of celebrities get to play themselves and it's really funny to see them in ways you wouldn't normally see them on a normal network show. The episode where one of them had to read for The Vagina Monologues is classic.

Boardwalk Empire is another favorite as are any of the Spartacus series/seasons. Dh will even watch these. They both get pretty bloody, but I love to see the sets on Boardwalk. Spartacus gets raunch and gory at times, but it's a trainwreck that I can not look away from.

For comedy, the only thing I've even started liking besides Big Bang and Entourage is Flight of the Conchords and Hung. Flight is just bizarre (but fun) and Thomas Jane taking his clothes off in Hung's opening credits is enough to keep me watching for the other 22 minutes. It's a Detroit school teacher turned male prostitute with a female pimp who opened a feamle wellness center. He also has a crazy ex wife and two of the weirdest tv kids since the Adams Family.

Ha...I watched the new Dallas last night and I now have a new guilty pleasure!

Do you watch Big Bang Theory? So funny. This might be an odd one, but Shark Tank is good too. Technically a reality show, but DH and I find the inventions super interesting/fun and the sharks are hilarious.

Two Broke Girls can be funny sometimes. Don't trust the B can also be funny. Neither are as funny as Happy Endings though, that's my new fav.

[NachoProblem]

Ooh. And Revenge was good, but it's over now. We missed a few episodes and still need to get caught back up.

All the good shows are gone for a while! Boo.

[bimbi284]

Thanks for the recs ladies! I'll have to look into these!

My dad recommended Revenge recently, so we watched the pilot last night. I was confused for 98% and H was so lost I GAD to explain it to him (not unusual in this house, LOL). I think we'll keep watching though, Haha.

FCG, you would like FOTC. That was one of our faves! We were sad when it ended. We like weird, stupid humor, LOL.

Game of Thrones! Boardwalk Empire!

[bimbi284]

I've REALLY wanted to watch boardwalk empire. As a bit of an anti drug war activist, I'm interested in seeing the whole prohibition perspective. Thanks for the reminder to check it out!

[NachoProblem]

Ahhhh the Borgias is amazing! And we liked United States of Tara too!!!! And you've gotta add Rome to that list, Renata!
