Note: I'm canceling my subscription channels (sho/hbo/etc) come Jan so The Wire is out of the question.
Edit: Lost is returning in Jan.... that's something... but I need more. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 12-22-2008 at 07:21 PM.
BSG, even though it's starting in Jan, only has three episodes left of the series, so that doesn't count.

There was much rejoicing when Greenlit said this:
I wish I could justify even watching television anymore.
If I wasn't surrounded by a fortress of cold white powder as tall as I am, I'd substitute TV for countless other things.... taking a canoe out in the water, comedy clubs, hiking, exploring new bike paths, checking out tourist traps in Quincey market, jogging, taking a duck tour, buying a grill, whale watching, reading a book in my back yard facing the woods.... maybe even skydiving or a pathetic attempt at wakeboarding.
The white stuff from the heavens severely limits my options. I want the evil box to entertain me as a form of escapism, but it seems to be failing at its lone simple task as of late. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 12-22-2008 at 07:32 PM.

It's like Scooby Doo, except Shaggy is an asshole addicted to vicodin instead of pot.
Edit: Also- The Office, although it's also a show it would have been better to start watching earlier. Noxhil2 fucked around with this message on 12-23-2008 at 01:50 AM.
I've recently acquired American Gangster, City of God, City of Men, I Am Legend (With the intended ending), Nanking, Resident Evil: Degeneration, Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit on your Grave, all of Metalocalypse, Soylent Green, Pineapple Express, Thriller - A Cruel Picture (Not Michael Jackson; it's what Kill Bill was based on) and Goodbye Uncle Tom. Oh, and several straight days of boxing and MMA fights/events/fighter 'best of' collections.
Yeah, I watch way more US than German TV. Thanks internet!

And this is a problem because...? Seriously, who cares if it's formulaic? All shows are formulaic. Familiarity breeds repeat viewership.

Its a show, where a spy gets a burn notice. Effectively making him a John Doe stuck with no cash and no roof. Hilarious hijinks with his spy buddy Bruce Campbell in finding out who issued the notice.

I use Epguides as my primary source of information for television. I incorrectly assumed that there are only three episodes left of Battlestar Galatica, because only three were listed.

Your response forced me to perform further research into the matter. Posts like this one - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080520035819AAEcWtJ - indicate that it is more likely that there are 13 episodes left.
I have yet to find a solid answer that I trust, but I have enough information to let me question the original assumption of there being only three episodes left.
If anyone has a concrete answer from a legitimate source, I'd love to hear it. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 12-26-2008 at 09:46 AM.

Sounds good. I look into into it.

One show is about an unethical egomaniac of a doctor who routinely treats his patients and staff like crap in order to solve a medical mystery.
The other is about an unlikable doctor with self-esteem problems who is routinely treated like crap by his staff and patients in order to solve a boring medical problem and also there's some cliched insight about relationships afterward.
Burn Notice has a fun plot, likable characters, and occasionally you see Gabrielle Anwar, society's greatest fish-lipped anorexic, in something revealing and ohhhhhh god jism
