Some good shows there mate. Love IT Crowd, Roy and Moss are great. Starting to get into Big Bang Theory now as well. Loved Eastbound and Down, Kenny Powers rocks. Modern Family is very good, I watched a bit of Raising Hope as the missus likes it and it was very watchable. Really enjoy Tosh.0, great show. Never used to watch Criminal Minds, but the wife is a big fan, and have really enjoyed watching both the early series on DVD recently, as well as watching the later episodes on the box. Sons Of Anarchy is excellent, really enjoying it. Ashes To Ashes is also excellent, I loved Life On Mars(english version), so it wasn't going to be hard to enjoy this series too. I must have been the only one to enjoy Saving Grace, thought it was pretty good. Hoping they put United States Of Tara on again soon. I have been catching up with a few series of Dr Who too, as my young lad is really getting into it. He is also into Walking With Dinosaurs, which I enjoy watching with him, it is very good. Gee I watch too much TV.  Banner by Pooc!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fuk6e5hEeYI
If you want a second opinion, ask me again. Voted 121 Australian Racing Forum best tipster 2009!!! EPL tipping champ 2009!!

Since HD has expanded I watch reruns of Murphy Brown, Just Shoot Me and Green Acres...still get a laugh... My Family Man v Wild Medical shows like RPA (was going to be a Dr until I was 17) Very little else except sports reports and games...have masses of dvd's of old shows I liked if I'm bored. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Vampire Diaries (The wife's fav show too soap operay for me but I still watch it) oh man... Vampire Diaries is like the tv version of Twilight: New Moon you should splice it up one ep of that, one ep of Spartacus to balance it out

30 Rock The Office HIMYM Big Bang Theory Survivor Jersey Shore Dexter Eastbound and Down The Inbetweeners How Not To Live Your Life Always Sunny These are all on my hdd. Gonna need to start to watch some new shows. I'm very skeptical on anything with vampires in it. Is there anything else good out there?  "I'm going to see the horse doctor today.

After the first few episodes we saw of it, my wife and I decided unanimously that it was an inappropriate show to watch during dinner time

If you guys are at all interested in boxing, I'm quite enjoying the new show - "Lights Out" Its about a former Heavyweight champion forced to make a comeback due to bad finances, and all the shit he has to deal with (on the mat and behind the scenes) Im loving "Archer" too recently, its a pisstake of James Bond in cartoon form. One of my fav cartoons now A lot of great shows have already been mentioned in this thread

There is another light house episode where one of them is sitting on a chair then gets up and leaves the room and they leave the video camera in there, about 1 min later the chair he was sitting on slides about 1m across the floor. Youtube the scariest moments its pretty cool.
