What should I watch?

[hobbitofkobol]

Yes, I'm already bored. Which is ridiculous because I don't usually have anything to watch on this day of the week.

But I actually have quite a lot of shows I got from benelie or downloaded back when I had a very fast internet and plenty of HD space.

As usual it's really hard for me to decide what to watch. I often have a hard time getting into a show, or even finding the motivation to start it at all. Once I'm a few episodes in and it has hooked me, I'm hooked for good. (note: somehow it's different if I start watching the show as it premieres on TV, go figure).

If you could comment with reasons why I should watch a certain show/why I would like it, that'd help too!

You can always suggest me other stuff but my slow internet is annoying when I need to dld entire seasons and I don't have much space left on my hard drives (2 internal and 2 external aaaaaah) so...

Yes, I know, most of these were already in a similar poll I made last year...

[Poll #1572491]


Speaking of polls, remember when I made a True Blood Fantasy Casting Poll? Turns out we were psychic because the guy who won the poll was cast as Alcide for real. So I was thinking of doing one for a ~certain role~ on Chuck (I'm being cryptic because I have at least one friend who's not caught up with season 3 :p). If you've seen the finale, you know whom I mean! So... any suggestions?

PS: stop making me want to cry, Giacchino!

I'd normally say "Mad Men" but if you didn't like season one, I would give it up! Season two is more of the same.

Flight of the Conchords!!

The Mighty Boosh! :D

[thharwood.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[kilted.livejournal.com]

Haha, big surprise that you're behind that suggestion. ;)
And damn it... I need some Boosh icons. :(

[evilblacksheep.livejournal.com]

I'll go for mad men AND misfits if you haven't seen it yet !

[eeriewhisper.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE who is *mildy* interested in pop culture should watch "Spaced". I even go so far to TELL YOU to buy the DVD and watch it with subtitles that tell you which movie or TV show they make a reference to. lol


Btw, did you like The Phantome Menace? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUQfHRfX2o8&playnext_from=TL&videos=rEaVoG9bbhM

Okay, sorry when I'm going over the top here, but I just ADORE Spaced ;D

I AM SO SURPRISED BY YOUR ANSWER.

[mellafe.livejournal.com]

WAS THERE ANY OTHER POSSIBILITY?!

[mialicia.livejournal.com]

I def. recommend Flight of the Conchords. It's a short season, short episodes, and brilliant humor. Every episode I'm lmao, seriously. It's just how they deliver it! So wonderful :)

[sideshowkat.livejournal.com]

LIFE ON MARS. DO IT.

Then you can watch Ashes to Ashes.

:D

[iulieki]

I adore Weeds, the cast is amazing. I love Mary Louise Parker!

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

WATCH SPACED PSKDJFNLDKFJDLFKBFDLJBFDLJH! I CANNOT STRESS IT ENOUGH JUST HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SHOW.

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

I can't remember if you've seen The West Wing, but you should watch that if you haven't, because IT IS AWESOME. :D

As for the Chuck casting poll, I'd just swipe Ausiello's suggestions and add our own to the list, lol. Some people in the comments are also suggesting Michelle Forbes and Cristine Rose. Oh, and Sela Ward! Isabella Rosselini. Oh, and someone had the idea as me!

[space-dementia6.livejournal.com]

life on mars. life on mars. life on mars.

(but spaced is also amazing.)

[thharwood.livejournal.com]

The obvious answers from me are Spaced, The IT Crowd and Life on Mars. All absolutely brilliant for very different reasons.
I'm trying to think of other things to suggest, but it's too early in the morning...

[canadian-turtle.livejournal.com]

LIFE ON MARS!!!

And also State of Play, Blackpool and Hustle if you don't watch those shows yet :D

I'm already read a casting call somewhere (Ausiello? Kristin from EW?) you can possibly take into account :D

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

I would vote for Mad Men, but I don't think you'll like S2 more than S1, so never mind ^^

I've only seen S1 of Life on Mars so far, but I thought that was fantastic.
I also love Farscape, but I've only seen it once and that was ages ago, I've been meaning to watch it again cause I hardly remember anything :D

I almost want to vote Spaced out of guilt because I still haven't seen it either :D

I'm not caught up on Chuck either, but I saw who you're suggesting on Twitter and I wholeheartedly support her being on any show in any role even if I have no idea what happened :D

[superfrayed.livejournal.com]

I'm not caught up on Chuck either I just realized, crap!!! Must fix that ASAP!

I vote you watch The Bridge. It's only a handful of eps and Aaron Douglas is Kick-ass in it <3 It took me a couple of eps to REALLY get into it though, fyi.

Also, Hello.

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

aaaaah you should catch up, it's so awesome!

hey, have you seen the latest pics Aaron tweeted? moar Paul!!! :DDD
I want to tell him sth like "tell Paul to get a Twitter, I can guarantee him at least 2 followers" lol

HELLO!

(I'm being cryptic because I have at least one friend who's not caught up with season 3 :p) Is it me :D? D'awwwww! Promise, I'm catching up real soon!
