Since we work really hard all week one of our favorite things to do is to sit down and watch some TV in the evenings.
The Wire- We have been glued to this show since it first came out, awesome writing and you end up really caring for the characters. They hit all your emotions as you become involved in the series. Each season has different characters and stories. Rent it from season one and see if you get hooked.
The Office- I watched this last night and laughed out loud several times. Michael Scott is just the greatest boss ever. Reminds me of an old boss I had at my last company. Just a bumbling trying to be a good guy while offending everyone. Stanley from the show said it best last night. “Michael everyday you do something stupid and I think to myself he will never top this idiotic move and then the next day you do.”
Boston Legal- This show which has a hugely liberal slant skewers topical issues which we hear about but usually ignore in our busy lives. I love the character Alan Shore and watching him in court is amazingly fun. Plus the show has Captain Kirk who has Mad Cow. Watch it.
Survivor- This is a guilty pleasure and slightly embarrassing to say. but I love the dynamics of how it works. Of curse it is obviously toyed around by the producers but I cant look away. The blindsiding of Ozzy in the show recently made me clap and laugh. It was one of those moments that I caught myself and said (Mike you are a boob)
Weeds- Housewife living in a ritzy area selling Pot. Great concept. I love the supporting characters.
Californicaton- David Ducovney is in this crazy show about sex and Los Angeles. Mulder plays a drunken, womanizing writer who is trying to get his life together and then not really trying.
Mad Men- Set in the 50′s it shows the advertising world in New York. Just amazing. Everyone is smoking, cheating on their wives, making mad money hawking soap, cigarettes, anything that needs advertising. Great show to check out.
Rescue Me- Since I was a firefighter for several years. I long to still work in a firehouse. Driving down the road in the truck, having people smile at me. Running into burning buildings, coming to save the day when someone has an emergency. This show has it all. Plus all the real life problems compounded by a star who is an alcoholic womanizer. The writing is really great.
Nature- I love this show. Love the topics they pick and watching it in HD is really fun.
Battlestar Galactica- I am a nerd so I like this. So different from the original. They like Boston Legal take contemporary issues and bring them to space. Not for everybody but rent it from the beginning and see if you like it.
