TV Shows You'd Recommend - note not just watch, but recommend to another person

[shadowkat]

Because I'm curious about what tv shows people would recommend ....here's a spontaneous poll.

Keep in mind it is spontaneous, which means...typos abound, and yes, I attempted and failed miserably to do two things: put them all in alphabetical order, because I would remember a tv show half-way down the list (lj makes this very hard to do, by the way, because you can't just insert check-boxes when you forget to include something), and include all scripted sitcoms and dramas. (I did not include daytime programming, sports, news, documentaries, or reality series.)

Suffice it to say there are one too many television shows. Also, you can't edit polls any longer in lj. They changed something. Once you insert the poll - that's it, end of story. (And I'm talking about before you post it. You never could edit after you post it.)

So..if you discover that your favorite tv show, which is still airing new episodes and has not completed it's run (ex. Breaking Bad), then please mark "not listed" and include in the comments. Actually the comments will provide you with the ability to rave about your favorite current or new series and attempt to convince whomever stumbles upon it (most likely just me) to watch it. I'm actually an easy target - I'll watch just about anything once. Since it's long, I'm cut-tagging to protect my flist.

[ETA: Dammit. I forgot The Good Wife. It's my favorite series and I forgot to list it. ARRGH! And I can't edit. Note to self - next time you do a poll - pre-plan it.]

In retrospect, I think this would have worked better if I'd asked for favorite show or show you love the most. That's easier to answer.

And yes, few people can beat me in the tv slut category - although, I tend to DVR/record more tv shows than I actually watch. So there is that.

Yep, seen Orphan Black. Would rec it as well - actually I already did above, I hope it's there. Stupid poll left out half of my favorites. Doing polls in LJ has actually gotten harder in some respects - you used to be able to edit prior to posting...now if you hit the back button - you lose the poll.

Right now the favorite of still-running shows is OUAT, so I can't give you anything new and exciting. I have cut down the shows I watch to a slim number, most of the older shows. When it comes to new stuff, I wait a few seasons to see what my friends like and dislike, and what isn't cancelled.
