Need suggestions on TV shows to DL and watch...

[tRidiot 10+ year member]

As I noted yesterday, it looks like I've got a ton of time at work this month to kill... so I am going to DL TV shows to watch on my Cowon A2 video player.

No pron allowed, it is a professional setting, and while I will be in an out of the way corner, I don't want to take any chances.

Some stuff I like:

MASH

Law & Order (original and SVU, not CI)

CSI

Seinfeld

Fawlty Towers

Heroes

umm.....

hmmm....

Right. So as you can see, I don't find alot of stuff on TV very valuable today.

I'm currently downloading the movie Serenity and the series Firefly, as I heard good things about them. Also DLing all the Fawlty episodes. Already have MASH.

So.... suggestions? I'm not too into "pop culture" stuff, so I've missed out on the Entourage and Nip/Tuck craze.... I just don't know what's out there that's any good, since I haven't watched much TV at all for probably the last 6 years. I hate Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives, where everyone just seems to be ****ing everyone else and the whole show is about how stupid they all are. Maybe that'll help.

Thanks!

Yeah, seen most of those, but in the later stages, it got way too out of wack with Stewie... gay shit and all. Didn't like it. Used to, but not so much anymore. Hate Southpark, BTW.

I can do that, but I'm looking more for stuff I haven't seen...

And before anyone says Lost, that shit is just wack.

Reno 9-11 is good for comedy. The Universe off the History Channel is intersting.

For a series, Band of Brothers is good. John Adams is also good if you like history.

Entourage, Deadwood, 24, The Wire, The Shield, The Unit, Weeds, Californication, Mad Men I have watched all of these and every season while at work.

Remember most of the HBO/Showtime shows will show a little ***** every once in a while. Also Sopranos was good but got a bit old about season 5.

I should get Deadwood... that looked kinda interesting. I loved Carnivale, was disappointed they only did one season.

And ditto on the Sopranos. Some options up there... not sure I'm into most of 'em, but I need to learn more about 'em, I guess.

House fvcking irritates me -- the main character is too much of a charicture.

I think I would like Deadwood if they did not go out of their way to drop the f-bomb every three seconds. Profanity doesn't bother me that much, but on that show it's just distracting.
