    Graciano - you need to look on YTMND for "in a nutshell". You'll get things like The Graduate in a brief (and funny) storyboard. You could do the same on Youtube, probably.

    Oh, didn't someone do similar using some kinda stuffed toys or something?

    *EDIT*

    Ahh, just watched the 100 spoilers in under 5 mins thing on Youtube (see link). That was pretty good, lol!

    If you only watch one YTMND, watch The Graduate in a Nutshell ;-)

    It's always a nurological problem...and House is never wrong. The Best episodes are when House isn't himself.

    I have one season of Arrested Development left...so I'll finish that (but can you REALLY *FINISH* that show? It's worth repeating many times...)

    For those Wire fans out there, don't forget to check out The Corner, which is a six-part miniseries that preceded The Wire, but is very similar in content and features many of the same actors (albeit often in VERY different roles).

    "OK, so the only shows I am currently watching are: The Office, South Park, The Sopranos, and Arrested Development. I just finished The Sopranos (loved the ending by the way, despite what many people thought) but now I'm stuck on what to get into next. I'm really not interested in Heroes or Lost quite yet..."

    Well, you've hit on all of the shows I downloaded and enjoyed so we probably have the same interests. If that's the case, then seriously, check out LOST. It's amazing, in my opinion, much different from the "stranded on a desert island and gotta get off" plot that I was expecting. It took me a long time to actually get around to sitting down and watching it but once you do you'll be hooked pretty quickly. I tried getting into Heroes twice but couldn't make it through the 1st season, and everyone says the first season is the best...so...

    You might also want to check out Entourage and Californication. Both are easy to find and you can get through a season pretty quickly. Good shows to watch while you're doing PC work...they don't need 100% of your attention like 24 or Lost.

    People say The Wire is really good as well. If you like the Office you should check out the UK version. It's only 2 seasons and all of the shows are good.

    By the way, Arrested Development falls apart after Season 2. I think they were flirting with cancellation so they changed the writing quite a bit for Season 3 and dumbed down the show a lot. They went from "quirky" to "over the top."

    Family Guy isn't bad, but it's hit and miss sometimes. And....I'm giving away my age here.....you might like Moonlighting which is an 80s show, especially if you like quirky writing like you find in Arrested Development. But if you're too young it will look a bit dated...heh.

    Firefly is just so complete that you can't go wrong with that... only downside is that you're going to shit in your pants once you're at the end of season one and understand how foolish fox was to cancel that show.

    Breaking Bad is a not so well-known show that deserve more people to give it a try. It's a dark-comedy with drama about a high-school chemistry professor turning dark and doing crystal meth once they announced him he had terminal lung cancer. Good acting, captivating developement.

    If you're a bit into anime, and even if you're not (believe it, baby) you gotta watch Death Note.

    And here's one you may not have heard of: Underbelly.

    It's the true story of gangland wars in Melbourne, Australia, between
    1995 and 2004. Something like 30 or 40 murders happened in the struggle for power.

    Obviously I would never do such a thing, but I believe the series may be available for download on Mininova...

    Ive only seen 3 or maybe even 4 episodes, but from what I have seen Breaking Bad is an amazing show.

    Also worth noting is the book/film "Clockers" that heavily influenced the series.

    In fact, the author of the book (Richard Price) was asked to write several episodes of The Wire.

    He did a great interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR which is worth looking up as a podcast...

    Yeah I already own and have watched the UK Office many times. Good stuff.

    I liked Family Guy in its first 2 or 3 seasons, then it just got too random and full of itself.

    If you liked the UK Office, you should watch Extras, another creation of Ricky Gervais.
