Shit! House isn't on your list?

Add this immediately.

Spartacus is good, and I enjoyed it a lot, but it is definitely over the top with the violence/sex. If you're going to be offended, that isn't a good call. But if you're fine with that, it is excellent. Particularly the first season.

The first season of Spartacus was awesome. I have like the subsequent two but the first season is a must see IMO. It is super intense and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

AFTER the first episode. The first episode is trash.

Haha. I actually never saw that one. Just whatever flashbacks Spartacus had. I just happened to miss it and never felt compelled to seek it out once I knew what happened in it.

I came in to the show when they were replaying it along with Gods of the Arena so I was really confused on the timelines and everything between the episodes with and without Spartacus.

The Hulk Hogan sex tape.

Television shows that I was REALLY into at one point:

The Office
Prison Break
Supernatural
Spartacus
The Sopranos
Oz
The Walking Dead

Shows that I watched but was never really a fiend for:

Parks and Recreation
Grey's Anatomy
Bones
Weeds (stopped at around season 3)
Nip/Tuck (also stopped around season 3)
Heroes

.. And I'm currently in the process of watching Breaking Bad. I'm only a few episodes in and it seems ok, but it has yet to grip me like I was assuming it would.

(If you really have time, I would also recommend starting from Season 2 of Parks and Rec and The Office)

Yes.

The Walking Dead - maybe the best show of all ****ing time!

Not sure about the last 10 years, but currently The Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire. Both of them are great IMO.

Nip/Tuck was really good up until the 5th season when they moved to LA, then it jumped the shark. Trashy fun the first 4 seasons

Heroes was great that first season, but I never watched it past that.

Breaking Bad takes a few episodes to heat up the first season, but then gets great after that. But the entire show is a slow burn. Methodically paced.

ya Nip/Tuck was great until around the time the son started having sex with the post op tranny who also ****ed her son or whatever.

This. Exactly ****ing this.

The show just got too weird for me at that point so I decided to drop out of that race.

I quit Weeds around season 3 or 4 when the chick went to Guatemala and was pregnant by the president/mob boss or whatever the hell. The drama was no longer as good and the only reason I would even get any enjoyment from an episode was from the brother-in-law's comedic factor..

Yeah, that's been my experience. A great deal of the episodes I've watched so far have been in silence. I guess that's expected though; the dude is dealing with cancer, starting up a meth lab, and his nosey bitch wife. I'm sure ill get more into it pretty soon..
