Tried looking for a TV thread and couldn't find one so here i am.
Addicted to Game of Thrones, only midway through season two and i'm hooked!
Worst show ever, Marvels Agents of Shield. Should be retitled to Marvels Agents of This Show Is F!@#$NG Crap!
My nomination for the most potentially socially damaging show is "Home and Away". Last week I rock up to my finance's house, sitting at the table was her parents and aunty having an in depth serious discussion about the plight of some poor unfortunate individual. 15 mins into the discussion, feeling sympathy for the subject of their discussion , I asked who he was. FMD I almost fell off my chair when they answered with a serious tone, that it was one of the characters in Home and Away.

Gold mate. I would have thought about getting a refund for that ring you bought. One of the crapest shows ever. Aweful stuff >:D
Some of my favourite shows in recent years
Game of Thrones - excellent. Read the books first if you can. Well worth it.
Walking Dead - it's back!!
Vikings - think Elwood was appreciative of this one too. Good show.
Masters of Sex - excellent start to a new, well made show. Give it a go.
Sons of Anarchy - dragging on a bit now, but worth it
Breaking Bad - fantastic show. Classic, like Sopranos
Australian shows: ABCs Rake. I enjoyed that. Loved the lead character.
Breaking Bad is brilliant, up there with another favorite in Deadwood
Just started watching Boardwalk Empire, story line set in prohibition times in the states.

Thanks for reminding me. Need to look into Boardwalk again.
Also forgot to mention another excellent show : House of Cards
As mentioned above, Vikings is amazing, and Master's of Sex looks like it will be quite good.
The ABC series "It's a Date" was really good. Wasn't expecting too much given it was written by Pete Hillier, but it was really well written and some very memorable performances.
I am an absolute nut for Parks and Recreation. I just love that show, my absolute favourite.
Also check out Justified
Well made series, with 4 seasons completed so far
Season 5 due early next year

Dude, Parks and Rec is awesome!! Just watched the first 3 seasons and awaiting either the comedy channel to play 4 and 5 or i'm going to buy them. Season 6 should be out soon too! Archer seasons 3 and 4 are absolute classics also.
Im so disgusted with my prospective inlaws seemingly trance like dependence on TV, and the negative impact it's had on their ability to and willingness to engage in discussion, that I've devised an intervention plan. I've researched and found a digital TV signal remote controller disguised as a Car Key on a key chain. I would have purchased a digital signal scrambler but that's illegal so I'll stick with remote controller. I've decided to covertly turn off the TV and or change channel so as to encourage my GF's mother to exercise by having to constantly get up to turn it back on. I'm sure after 20 mins of constantly turning off the TV remotely, they'll quickly revert to interaction and discussion.

Season 6 of Parks and Rec is being aired in the States at the moment. Bout 4 eps in I think. Absolutely love that show. Ron Swanson is my 2nd favourite tv character of all time, behind Karen Walker from Will & Grace (interestingly Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are married in real life).
Another great shows that was on NetFlix this year is Orange Is The New Black. Veep is another good comedy. And as far as Australian shows go, Wentworth is one of the best new dramas I've seen since season 1 of Underbelly.
Ron Swanson is just about my favourite character of all time.
I send my wife a Swanson quote at 7am every morning when I am on night shift to wake her up.

Lol...What response did you get Gozza?
Well, I was expecting to cop a slap and walk away with nothing. A bit of an anti-climax.
The sheila serving didn't understand the reference. Mustn't have remembered the commercial or been too young to remember or something. :'( So she served me five cougars. A pain in the arse to carry and a pain in the arse to pay for. Serves me right for trying to be a hot shot. ;D
Talking of Cougar, remember Barry "the Cougar" Dawson?

South Park are having a great season - their 3 parter based on GoT is pretty good
Gentlemen. Been a while since this thread saw some light, so I thought I would update the shows I've been watching the last few months and that I'm looking forward to in the near future.
Vikings Season 2 = This one I'm REALLY looking forward to. Starts this Month again Elwood. 8)
Game of Thrones Season 4 = No need to explain. >:D
House of Lies Season 3 = Filthy Management Consultants. The language in this show is something else. Funny and Don Cheadle is very funny.
Suits Season 3 = Enjoyable Legal Comedy/Drama
House of Cards Season 2 = Wow. That is all. Few shows keep up with a great first Season. This one does it in spades.
Hinterland = 4 part BBC Crime Drama. I went to University in Wales back in the 90's, so the odd sub titles a few times in each episode as the characters talk Welsh is nostalgic. Anyway, I normally cannot abide crime dramas but this one is really well made.
The Returned Season 1 = French undead drama. Actually on SBS on Demand right now. Well recommended. Beautifully shot. Great acting and great sound. Highly recommended. Season 2 on the way in 2014.
Luther = UK Crime Drama - Just watched the first 2 episodes, but boy this Actor Idris Elba is VERY good. Will keep watching.
Hatufim - Prisoners of War = Seasons 1 and 2 - Sweet Jesus this is good TV drama. It is actually the show that Homeland is based on. This is more of the journey the characters travel, not the US explosion fest of it's US version. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Borgen = Danish Political Drama. I really want to get the time to give this show justice. Watched 2 episodes on SBS and was mightily impressed. Well made.
Over to you....
Man you have a lot of time on your hands that's all I got to say. The best I can do is EPL highlights on Fox Sports 1 and a bit if Sky Channel. :))

Kids go to bed between 7pm and 7:30pm every night mate. Plenty of hours left after that O0.
True Detective is the best show for a long time!! Brilliantly written and superb performances. Little wonder why Mathew Mcconaughey won an Oscar.

Season finale next week!!!
Only watched 1 episode of TD, it did look pretty good.
Is it worth the investment?
