    With Lost being over, it's time to for me move on to something else.

    I'm currently watching Breaking Bad, but I'm all caught up and need another series to fill in the week gap between episodes.

    Anyways, I'd prefer if it was a series that is already over, as I wouldn't have to wait each week for a new episode, but either is fine.

    Also, I'm not picky about what type of show it is--just name the series and tell me why you like it.

    Thanks,
    PS

    Prison Break
    24
    Fringe

    -Prison Break: The first 2 seasons are great, then the series jumped the shark.
    -24: Jack Bauer, nuff said
    -Fringe: It's by far the best show I've seen in a while, it's like the XFiles. The storyline is great, and it has overall great characters.

    -Grey's Anatomy: My guilty pleasure
    -Dexter: A murderer that only kills bad people, did I mention that he works for the police?

    I just started Dexter. It is indeed good.

    1: Battlestar Galactica
    2: East Bound and Down
    3: The Wire is dope as shit as well... so funny how many English actors are in that show.
    4: Curb Your Enthusiasm
    5: Weeds
    6: Big Bang Theory I find quite funny. It's actually catered to dorks like us. Howard Walowitz' fashion alone is worth the price of admission.

    None of those are as good as Breaking Bad though. Last night's episdoe -- crazy. Didn't sleep right.

    Do you mean over for good or over for the Season?

    Sorry, I meant one that is over for good.
    That way, I can just watch all the way through it and move on to the next series.

    Big Bang Theory
    seasons 1 & 2 were really good, 3 doesn't quite deliver the same quality but still is very entertaining. As GP said it's actually aiming at us nerds and the characters, esp. extremely neurotic, arrogant and brilliant Sheldon, are quite interesting and original.
    The only downer is the background laughter, but you get used to it.

    30 Rock

    Entertaining, not as sharp maybe as BBT but still quite nice once you got into it. The show takes place in the NBC studios in New York and illustrates the lives of the producing and directing staff.

    And I've been told The Wire & Dexter are great, but I haven't seen a single episode yet. I've got two seasons of Dexter in HD as well as three seasons of Wire ready to grab, so maybe I'll give it a shot once I have finished the three seasons of 30 Rock.

    How I met your Mother is hilarious if you ask me. Really don't understand why so many people like Big Bang Theory, it's just too much imo.

    The Shield, along with The Wire, the best police series ever made. It's unfortunately really underrated now that everyone's too busy getting boners over The Wire.

    Becker - It's kinda like Scrubs' Dr. Cox got its own series.

    The I.T. Crowd (UK version) - Geeky sitcom that's also for non-geeks. Just watch any episode - I can pretty much guarantee you'll be hooked.

    ...and since M*A*S*H's been mentioned already: Hogan's Heroes.

    I only didn't mention Arrested Development b/c if you've not bothered by now, you deserve a swift kick to the cock.

    30 Rock I just forgot, which I should be shot for.
