The Rochdale hooligans thread seemed to be heading this way, so I thought I'd begin a thread on it.
It's all about Game of Thrones for me, simply the best thing on TV. Modern Family and Brooklyn 99 are close seconds. And the recently-finished series about Bear Grylls seeing how a group of 'ordinary' men on a deserted island would cope was quite interesting.
Just to echo what others have said about dragging things out...
I was really into The Mentalist up to the point where he met Red John.
Not sure what the point is anymore, and stopped watching.
that Revolution was like that (not the one down the road).
Decent premise to the first series, but second series started going on about all these green floating nanobots which could pretty much do anything. It became very painful viewing.
Remember Scully well. Monday nights with an Elvis Costello soundtrack. Think Dalglish was in it at one point. Great show from memory, though am sure it would look dated.
I think Sky occasionally repeat Dream Team on one of their many channels during the day. Always worth keeping an eye out for them.
The mental head keeper who they were all scared of was my favourite.
The one who went on to be the gaffer for a bit? Think his name was Viv.
True Detective is one of the finest things I've seen on TV - series, film or otherwise.
Other than that, The Shield, The Wire and Breaking Bad get honorable mentions. Comedy - wise, the Office (both versions), Parks and Rec and Modern Family are all great. But Alan Partridge has never been beaten.
Scully was awesome. Love The Big Bang Theory. Lost was superb. Tend to have a short attention span and don't get into many long series'. Quite enjoy some of the dramas that run for 3 weeks. The one with John Simm as a police officer accused of killing his wife was excellent, as was the one with a fella who liked to kill his wives. Sadly don't know what either was called. Sherlock is ace, Merlin was wonderful and anything with Karl Pilkington in is fantastic. Outnumbered was one of the funniest things I've seen and Ripper Street was brilliant. Gutted they've dropped it
And finally can't believe no-one has mentioned Corrie yet.
Seems like I only like comedies. Can't think of any dramas I've watched lately that made me want to watch more. I would rate Phoenix Nights, Outnumbered, Extras, Episodes, Spaced and The Wrong Mans. The last dramas I was into were things like Danger Man, The Invaders and erm .....
The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

The John Simm programme was 'Prey'.
Corrie will get a mention if R17ALE reads this thread.

Revolution was great in the first series, but the second went downhill rapidly and it's just been cancelled so we'll be spared the third.
I'm glad I'm not the only one taking advantage of Prison Break being on box set on Sky at the minute. Can't wait to rewatch that. And House of Cards seems to be getting a lot of mentions. I'll have to put that to the top of my 'to watch' list along with Walking Dead.

Revolution had the potential to be absolutely brilliant but it's been a big let down really. Had it's moments but it's no surprise at all that it's been binned after two series.
If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor

Was it about bury?
