I didn't watch Broadchurch. Was a bit gutted because everyone was talking about it and it's still mentioned on DS from time to time right now. Seems like I missed out on a quality programme. Oh well.
Twin peaks
The Sopranos
Dexter (OH has it though)
Some white house thing that seemed quite popular.... The West Wing, I think
Game of Thrones
Neighbours
Ooo I forgot about Twin Peaks, I loved that though I was a bit disappointed with the ending. Dexter is good too. As for neighbours :D:D
No I haven't - not even heard of The Americans but Hannibal was on Sky 1 I think?
I don't like scary stuff though
Perhaps you should give Hannibal a miss then Very creative murders but I think the first season lost it's way a bit towards the end. The second season has started off much better imo.
Not seen a single episode of almost all the tv shows mentioned on this thread, despite constantly being told they are excellent.
The same with Curb Your Enthusiasm..... not seen it even once.
There's not enough time in my life to watch everything I've been recommended.
I've not got round to watching Breaking Bad. I keep putting it off. I want to watch it but I just haven't been able to start it. I don't know why.
I didn't actually watch Sopranos when it was on, either. I should have done because I've always loved Mafia stuff.
And while it's not finished, I've not watched any Walking Dead and I may not watch it until it's finished. But then I've never been a big zombie fan so I'm not so eager to start that one.
Spartacus is another that I've never seen, and I love things set in historical time periods. Especially Roman periods.
I don't know, I think it is probably one of the best things I have seen on TV, and I would say that if Game of Thrones doesn't hook you from the start, then I don't think you will get into it.
If anything I'd say that if it doesn't hook you from the start, keep watching for a bit and then go back to the beginning. I have to say it took me a while to get into it...but once I did, and became familiar with the characters and locations, I re-watched the first season it was like watching a whole new show.
Thing that was on in the early 80s called 'The Falklands Conflict'. Going to watch it soon so no spoilers please.
Do you read books on the Falklands Conflict? If so I can recommend this if you're interested, one of the best (from the soldiers perspective) on the subject I have read.
It was kinda cool seeing a Mancunian bint on a prime time US show too ;-)
Yeah hehe she played that rather well did Jane Leeves, I found it amusing she was a Hills angel also, Benny Hill show, hehe!
I think the only series I keep up with is doctor who these days, because the kids watch it, meh not enough hours in the evening...I have still to watch the last programme of the widower too. Missed two weeks of corrie and ee because of that bloomin charmed box set..!
So many, one that springs to mind though is Lost. I started watching the first episode but fell asleep (I was hungover and had been to work!). I never got round to watching it after that, then before long was too far behind to catch up. My friends were all obsessed and had 'Lost nughts' and even dressed up as the characters for one if the season finales. I felt so left out and was so happy when it ended!

I watched the final the other day, loved it.
Couldn't get into Spartacus.
Breaking Bad is still THE best thing I've ever seen though. (apart from Buffy)

I got it as a complete Christmas present last year, lol its worth a go if you get into it. It does get a bit cheesey at points, glad I watched it alone in the comfort of my settee...
Lost Night? Meh it's not as if they had any fancy costumes to make an effort for hehe! Sounds like a facepalm moment, I am one to talk I went to a twin peaks night...

Welcome to DS
I'm glad I gave up on Lost as the finale reviews were awful.
Following on from what I said about Breaking Bad, I desperately want to get into Game of Thrones as practically everyone I know raves about it but I just can't.
Mind you, I've only seen the first few episodes but I found it....boring. And there were so many characters in it that I was losing track of who's who and what was going on.
Perhaps I'll give it another chance.
Pretty much all American dramas as of the last five years or so. I seem to have almost completely given up watching American shows, with the only exception being Law & Order: SVU. I tried watching Hostages for a few episodes but it got so long drawn out, I realised I didn't care what happened to the characters, so I stopped watching it...what's the point?.

I might just do that. It does seem to be very popular.

Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Going further back in time, Bad Girls, Footballers Wives, Cold Feet, The Sopranos, Frasier.

Yeah that was my guilty pleasure when I was younger and didn't have kids, I started watching it as I liked Cheers when I was growing up, hehe!

make that 3, the odd advert I saw, well it didnt seem to me like a must see programme hehe! :eek:
Haven't seen those, even though my mate was in Bad Girls. Frasier was absolutely brilliant though IMO

We used to have Ally McBeal nights

I'm a bundle of laughs, me
Just remembered never seen NCIS.
I didn't have a telly for 7 years in the 90's so probably missed things I didn't even know existed
