What series to watch?

So far, I have watched:

Angel (All Eps)
Buffy (All Eps)
Charmed (All Eps)
Numbers (All Eps)
Bones (All Eps)
Xena (All Eps)
Andromeda (All Eps)
StarGate SG-1 (All Eps)
StarGate Atlantis (All Eps)
House MD (All Eps)
Hercules (All Eps)
BattleStar Galactica (All Eps/Reimagined AND Original)
Lois and Clark (All Eps)
Smallville (All Eps)
Weeds (All Eps)
Doctor Who (All Eps)
The O.C. (All Eps)
Eureka (All Eps)

That is my current repertoire.
You understand my problem.. I am out of good series.
Point me to series I will like! I like series with long story arcs, a bit of romance (but I watched a few of Joss Whedon's series so I can take bitter endings to all relations.. not that I like that, but that's another story), much thinking on my part to be able to follow the story, and multiple characters which I can relate to.



For crying out loud! GIVE ME A NEW SERIES TO WATCH!
;)

Re: What series to watch?

X Files?
Though it doesn't have long stories, it's more of an episode by episode story.


Hmm I get one.

Lost.
For the suspens and mysteries learnt each episodes to build up new answers but create new questions, best I've seen yet in that.
This serie is just awesome.

UGH! I hate "Lost"... :-D

You should watch "Band of Brothers" though I highly doubt you would like it, but its the best thing ever on TV :D. Its like "Saving Private Ryan" but... 100x better... (Yes its even better than Stargate SG-1)

Re: What series to watch?

She looking for shows that have a plot where each episode is kinda like "To be continued...", not where each episode kinda has nothing to do with the last... Right Lois? At least that is what I inferred from the other shows she has watched.

Like Caprilla said Firefly was good, but just one season...
WOW, I really can't think of anything else...

Well said. ;) You've figured me out there.

I'm one for lengthy story arcs, indeed.

But keep in mind that for example Xena and Buffy have not that much of an overlaying story, (well.. not in the beginning of Xena and not halfway Buffy anyway) so there is a genre I like.
I guess I sympathise with Anya in Buffy and both Xena and Gabrielle in Xena. :o


Who wants to be Joxer? :lol: Sorry. I derail my own thread. >_<



I'm trying a few lost episodes now to see whether it catches me, if it does I'll watch all of that. :) Semper's suggestions are great for having a laugh. :D

But he doesn't seem to be very smart...not a bad person yes, but not really smart as I said.
And for that reason, I wouldn't want to be him, he doesn't realize much what he does sometimes..

Re: What series to watch?

Fail..

Lost drags the shows out WAY to long, I dunno if they think people like it but.. I definitely hate how everyone takes 10x longer that it should to happen.
