Which season-style TV programme?
 
I just finished watching DH season 4 and have realised I don't really watch any TV series that are longish running. There's a load of popular ones... and I can watch them on sidereel.com

So which should I start on? Opinions and reasons too please. :laugh:

Erm, to give you an idea of what programmes I like... Desperate Housewives, Dexter, err... murdery type things like Taggart and Cracker.

Thanks people of TiBB-World!

House is my last new thing at the moment, I'm just addicted to it. It's so freakin' hilarious. You should watch it. :thumbs:

Lauren 30-05-2008 06:11 AM

Yeah, I've been hearing VERY good things about House on other forums too.
Hmm!! I might :bigsmile:

Prison Break is really good. Its got so many twists and turns and you never know what is going to happen next. All 3 season have been brilliant.

Tom4784 30-05-2008 09:46 AM

At the moment... I'd say it's a tie between Heroes and Desperate housewives...since desperate housewives isn't on till september and isn't on the poll i'll say Heroes.

BigSister 30-05-2008 09:47 AM

Prison break and heroes for me probably more heroes at the moment than PB as its currently showing but both are great

Sam 30-05-2008 09:50 AM

Heroes is the only one I've actually seen, so i'll go with that. I love it too. :wink:

The only problem with House is that it is basically the same thing each week. I have all the dvds and am a fan of the show but after a few you need a break.

I would have voted weeds if I had seen the option just cause it is a very underated show.

ProjectWeirdo 30-05-2008 10:38 AM

I looooove Heroes!!! It's amazing. =D

Btw, what's House? I haven't even heard of that one...

Hugo 30-05-2008 11:04 AM

Why isn't DH up there ? I watch that online anyway. Gossip Girl is the best out of that list.

It's a medical drama about a mean doctor called House. Each week him and his team try and cure a seemingly Incurable illness.

MarkWaldorf 30-05-2008 11:34 AM

Gossip Girl is my favourite on that list, but it definitely isn't your type of show LOL.

Cos my first post states DH is the very reason I posted it :laugh: I just finished watching it all.

I've heard that house is very medical-based and not many twists... so I'm discounting that one for the moment (might watch it some time though - after exams I have a LOT of time on my hands).

Discounting Gossip Girl too, since Mark knows my 'type' and he says thats not it LOL.

I'm considering Prison Break... it definitely looks my type and...Wentworth Miller - YUM!

I only know about the top four but I'd recommend all four of them. House is a very politically incorrect wierd and funny show that's built around an amazing performance from Hugh Laurie. Who'd have thought when he was playing buffoons in Black adder that he would turn out to be such a good actor. However, every episode of House follows more or less the same format so you may get bored with it.

Heroes is, of the four, the show with the most potential. The characters and scenarios are great but to watch it requires huge suspension of disbelief. It's very out there.

Prison Break is an adrenaline fueled pumped up show. The action never really dips. Its very entertaining but sometimes a little difficult to follow exactly who is double crossing whom.

GA is light entertainment. Its a but soppy and whimsical but is probably the easiest to watch of the four. Its a show aimed at teenagers but adults can enjoy it just as much.

The choice is yours.

Lauren 30-05-2008 03:17 PM

I think I am going to go with prison break. GiRTH sold it to me with the fast-paced-ness.

Z 30-05-2008 03:56 PM

Have you ever seen Scrubs, Lauren? I didn't think it would be my kind of thing until I sat down and watched a few episodes, it's actually very good. I've never seen Weeds; I've seen some of the others, and I watch Heroes, so obviously I'd recommend Heroes over the rest. I personally don't like House, because I think it's very samey (every single episode has a disease that nobody in the world has ever solved before, but along comes House, yay, and there's a few other non-medical related storylines thrown in for good measure) whereas with shows such as Heroes, the cast is bigger, so it doesn't get stale as quickly. With Heroes you've got to be able to accept the unreal things and the downright silly things, haha.

MR.K! 30-05-2008 03:57 PM

Lost and Heroes.. best shows ever !

It's really amazing if you can get into. Some people think it is a tad absurd :elephant:

Princess 30-05-2008 08:41 PM

Grey's Anatomy-One of my favourite shows ever.

Yeah, I'm a fan of scrubs but I think thats as far as my medical-humour will take me - House sounds too medial from what I have heard.

Greys is another contender. Laura watches it, which means it must have soppy romantic storylines which would make a nice change from the gritty Prison Break.... oooh, decisions!!

MarkWaldorf 31-05-2008 11:05 AM

Lmao Grey's is well soppy.

xGemmax 31-05-2008 08:15 PM

Gossip Girl definately. It's really good. The second best TV show ever. #1 is The OC.

Prison Break
