I am going underway for a longer than average deployment soon, and seeing as how it's a sub, there is not much to do and very little space to stow things. Anyways, I'd like to get at least a couple seasons of something, but I don't know what to get. As of now I have seen every episode of the following: Friends, Survivor, Prison Break, Lost, and Desperate Housewives (yeah my wife has me trained.) I am a big fan of comedy and have watched and like The King of Queens and Scrubs before, but I'm not a religious follower by any means.

So based on the above stuff, is there any shows out there that you think might be something I'd like? Thanks in advance.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

5/12/2007 2:38:46 PM

Married with Children

5/12/2007 2:38:54 PM

If you're going to be locked away on a sub you should read

The shining

5/12/2007 2:41:38 PM

Do you want shows are finished so that you can see the whole run?

5/12/2007 2:44:33 PM

I would highly recommend Arrested Development, Battlestar Galactica, Sports Night, and the first four seasons of The West Wing.

5/12/2007 3:09:47 PM

The whole run would be good, but if there's a good show out there I don't mind being a new addict. I had to watch the whole Season 1 of Lost in like 2 weeks, but I really got hooked. My friends have the BSG seasons.... the other I will definitely consider. Thx for the responses.

i think six feet under is the best show i've ever seen, but it will cost you a lot to get all of the seasons

5/12/2007 3:22:20 PM

Battlestar Galactica

yeah. i was able to find the first season used for 15 dollars.

i think costco has them for fairly cheap (compared to >$60 a season you'll pay elsewhere)

also

I cannot emphasize enough the hilarity that is Arrested Development

24 and wings. if you're into teen drama...one tree hill and the OC get my recommendation as well

5/12/2007 4:15:13 PM

Arrested Devlopment is the best comedy in history and Deadwood is the best drama in at least recent memory

Deadwood is hell of expensive though

5/12/2007 4:15:43 PM

Oh shit, and Deadwood. Deadwood is killer.

5/12/2007 4:18:30 PM

Freaks and Geeks is pretty good also

Seasons 1-3 of 24 are a must to keep yourself pumped.

5/12/2007 10:56:24 PM

The Sopranos, and the Shield

5/12/2007 11:14:16 PM

I second the seasons 1-3 in 24. Best seasons of the show.

Mr. Show

5/13/2007 1:08:27 AM

i rescind shit i have talked to you, and thanks for serving


check out Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia if you can find it

basically any of the comedys from adult swim

check out Rome or The Wire from HBO. Rome is self-explanatory, The Wire is about the drug/crime culture in Baltimore. Really, really, really well done.

The Office and 30 Rock are great comedies.

5/13/2007 1:24:51 AM

have you seen... Everybody Loves Raymond?

5/13/2007 1:46:30 AM

Homicide: Life on the Streets

the best cop show there ever was.

5/13/2007 1:59:48 AM

It's not out officially yet, but you can download and burn Heroes

Also, Rome is a REALLY good show

5/13/2007 2:06:56 AM

Arrested Development. Arrested Development. ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

Not only is it hilarious, but once you watch them all, you can go back to the beginning and there will be a whole set of jokes that you didn't understand the first time through.

5/13/2007 2:12:17 AM

Thanks rwoody, and thanks to everyone who provided suggestions.

I am definitely gonna pick up Arrested Development. How many seasons are there? I think 24 sounds like something I would like too.

5/13/2007 2:33:04 AM

AD is three seasons, though it's really only a little more than two, because Fox cut the second season episode order down to 18 (one of the second season episodes is about that) and they didn't pick up the back nine of the third season, so it's only 13 episodes. Amazon has all three packaged together for $55...dunno if you can find it cheaper around here or not.

I love Freaks & Geeks to death, but it's only 18 episodes and when you run out you're going to be pissed, so I'd avoid it for now.

5/13/2007 2:44:57 AM

king of queens, scrubs, lost, weeds, entourage, nip n tuck

5/13/2007 10:13:54 AM

Quantum Leap - you know you all loved it

5/13/2007 10:18:20 AM

Rome, Arrested Development, Seinfeld(if you haven't already been inundated by it), Nip/Tuck

Oh, and I bet the sub boys would really like Rescue Me. It's very much a guy's show.

5/13/2007 10:25:49 AM

heroes, I just finished catching up with the season the last couple weeks on nbc.com

5/13/2007 11:27:21 AM

I'd also add Sliders (only seasons 1-3), but I have no idea how nerdy you want these show recommendations to be.
