thnaks guys,
I am currently downloading "Lost" since it got a good score. Also I am tying to avoid these cheap teenage series aka smallville, vampire diaries ......
I watched 2 ep of battle star galactica, couldn't get into it for some reason maybe casue of the bad actors acting.

@Waargh "Spartacus: blood and send" and "Prison break" are both comedies => Two and a Half Men
"Rome" is a good series => Mad Men is also good
Won't hurt to try new stuff if he is interested. If not, he won't watch it. What's your problem anyway?

24 S1-S3 were great, and S5 was brilliant - really top of the line. Sadly, the rest ranged from horrible (S6) to meh (S4, S to good (S7). Overall I wouldn't call it quality television, but it was a nice escapism.

24 season 1-4 were great, sadly it went downhill from there.

Didn't know quality shows (and most of them are not "artsy" at all) are now considered "fartsy". I guess lowest common denominator being all time low and all that.  |

Fuck Lost, overrated puke. Fringe is brilliant, so is Breaking Bad.

Neither really, but more to The Shield.
If you know NYPD Blue, the two are very much alike (this is a credit to Detroit, because Blue is one of the best police drams). |

@iNatan
First, please tell me what's so good about Mad Men? I don't get the show apparently (same thing with Bing Bang Theory - just not funny to me).
And what's your gripe with Spartacus? The story is sort of ok and the blood and gore were more than enough to keep me interested  (not enough blood on tv I say!)
