Hello - I find TV particularly crap so mostly watch dvd boxsets when i need some downtime... I have recently made my way through:
Sex in the city
Desperate Housewives
Brothers and Sisters
The inbetweeners
and am now into The Good Wife.

What else would you recommend given the sort of trash i clearly enjoy!

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

I loved this series

toobusytothink · 06/03/2012 16:25

Mad men!!!!!! fab fab. We missed it first time round and have just watched the first season back to back

BarbieDahl · 06/03/2012 16:27

Another vote for The Sopranos and Mad men
I also enjoyed Damages

StarryEyedMama · 06/03/2012 16:28

These are some of my faves: (apologies if they have been said before!)

Parenthood
Gilmore Girls
The Big C
Mistresses
Drop Dead Diva

I find if you put any of these into Amazon, there will be others that might take your fancy that others have brought too.

Old, but good American trash (which I love!) is The OC.

NCIS - just the BEST ever Navy/Cop show on TV - fact!

Queer as Folk (quite graphic sex scenes - so be careful if you're not into that,but excellent story Russell T Davies at his finest)

I love all the spooky stuff
Being Human
Buffy (10 years of episodes to catch up on - keep you happy for a while!)
Charmed

Oh and, a fantastic series is Dexter. Is very gruesome but really good.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 06/03/2012 16:36

Weeds is brilliant.
Dexter (but it is V grusome)
My So Called Life Grin

JarethTheGoblinKing · 06/03/2012 16:37

Bloody hell - has nobody said West Wing yet? Shock

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 06/03/2012 16:38

I've never fancied West Wing....am I weird? Blush

Are there vampires in it? Wink

flapperghasted · 06/03/2012 16:43

COMEDY

Spaced
The I T Crowd
Black Books
Gavin & Stacey
Big Bang Theory
West Wing

SCIFI/Hokey Stuff

Town called Eureka
Being Human
Misfits
Walking Dead (tho to be fair I haven't watched it, but have it ready)
FireFly

THRILLERS/Detective things

Sherlock (DD (11) and I both love it)
Life on Mars
Dexter

I love US trash, but my program of the moment is Stella on BBC.

flapperghasted · 06/03/2012 16:44

I put West Wing, cos I was reading post above. I meant GREEN Wing, which was hysterical!

Limelight · 06/03/2012 16:45

Thank God someone said The West Wing. Totally brilliant!

FatimaLovesBread · 06/03/2012 16:51

Oooh yeah Green wing!

JarethTheGoblinKing · 06/03/2012 16:53

I really wasn't interested in watching The West Wing at all, quite sceptical of it tbh. DP MADE me watch it Grin and now I've seen the whole thing twice through.

hotdiggitydog · 06/03/2012 16:58

Another poster here who was forced to watch West Wing and fell in love has nothing to do with the fact dp looks just like josh

ooooh thanks for reminding me brian

iloveberries · 06/03/2012 17:07

There's a new one out here called Revenge. Not sure if it's on in the UK. Its got the girl out of Brothers and Sisters in it and Madeline Stowe. A bit trashy and Dynasty like but DH and I are gripped!
