DH and I have been watching series on box set rather than TV for ages now and are fast running out. So far we have watched:-

Cold Feet
Friends
Sex and the City
24
House
Lost (I liked this and DH tolerated it)
Dexter

Can you suggest anything else we might like?

SPIRAL SPIRAL SPIRAL SPIRAL SPIRAL

WowOoo · 18/05/2011 16:52

Love Spiral and The Killing too. And Wallander (Swedish one not Branagh)
Got Spiral series 1 and 2 to look forward to on boxset.

Seriously, Six Feet Under is fab. Go for it.

csemum · 18/05/2011 16:54

WEST WING!!!! although beware of the Rob Lowe fantasies that will ensue!

Lovedmyheyday · 18/05/2011 17:51

CSI New York/Miami,etc. There are loads of them. If you haven't watched Frasier,I'll second that. It's my alltime favourite comedy show.

arfanarf · 18/05/2011 18:14

Life On Mars
and then Ashes To Ashes

MillieMummy · 18/05/2011 18:16

Wire and Mad Men - fantastic TV.

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 18/05/2011 18:16

House

NormanTebbit · 18/05/2011 18:20

The West Wing - I had Josh Lyman fantasies Blush

The Wire

Mad Men

The Shield
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Six feet Under

queribus · 18/05/2011 18:23

Seinfeld

Happygomummy · 18/05/2011 18:37

Oh, and another "oldie but goodie" is This Life - remember this from circa 96/97?? And it has Jack Davenport, so it's easy on the eye too.

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:39

6 feet under is the best!!

MooMooFarm · 18/05/2011 18:41

Well it's nothing like anything on your list but we're currently working our way through the box set of Green Wing. So funny it makes me pee Grin

hogsback · 18/05/2011 18:42

Spaced - best sitcom ever.

pinkytheshrinky · 18/05/2011 18:43

Sopranos - Six Feet Under - Dexter - Carnivale - Big Love - Mad Men - and would also really really recommend Deadwood

Personally tried really hard with The Wire and just didn't like it - the same with Brotherhood

Crikey we have watched a lot of telly...

WowOoo · 18/05/2011 18:44

MooMoo Green Wing was fab, so surreal and so so funny.

I'm going to keep this thread to get a few things. I just need to stay awake after 9 pm to watch them. z z z

MooMooFarm · 18/05/2011 18:46

Ooh I loved Spaced too Grin

mrsravelstein · 18/05/2011 18:49

another vote for The Wire, i hated the 1st episode as couldn't understand a word they said... went on to watch all the series of it back to back while pregnant with dc3 and it is the best thing ever on tv

Sacharissa · 18/05/2011 18:50

Supernatural.

gegs73 · 18/05/2011 18:52

Spaced
Green Wing
Campus (which has just been on tv and we loved)
Life on Mars
Ashes to Ashes

LiveLong · 18/05/2011 19:00

Spaced
IT Crowd
Frasier
Firefly (then the film, Serenity)
Fringe
Arrested Development
Modern Family

midnightexpress · 18/05/2011 19:04

The Wire is the best thing I've ever seen on TV I think. And I agree with all those who say it takes time to get into. I had three attempts at Series 1 episode 1, but then watched all 5 series back to back. brilliant.

Deadwood is great too - great characters.

Breaking Bad. And the Killing was great too. And Treme?

bigbadbarry · 18/05/2011 19:05

You have to perservere with the wire and my top tip is to turn on subtitles - it was a revelation!
