The first ep was weak...very Abed heavy and the same meta crap that got them cancelled in the first place. Then it got really good. I'm 7 episodes in.
Funny stuff. Recently, I thought Veep was hilarious, esp season 1.
I have a ton of documentaries, including nature ones, in my Netflix Queue, but I'm never in the mood to watch something intelligent after a long work day.
Loved Breaking Bad, Dexter, probably some other stuff I forget about right now. Currently watching, and loving Sons of Anarchy. When I finish that I'll watch The Shield. I don't like the news.
Last night I completed a 2 seiries box set of Hannibal, avoided it for a long while as I figured a TV version of the movies would be awaful, Finally gave it a go and my oh my what a show it is, is possibly the most disturbing thing I've ever watched but compelling at the same time. I'm not usually a fan of horror movies as most seem silly but this is on a whole different level and actually scared me
i seldom watch tv becouse i don't like fiction, but i do enjoy "parts unknown" with Anthony Bourdain. The new season has recently started

Don't even know when it's on (or the channel) but I've seen maybe two or three episodes of it. A really enjoyable, well done show. Doubt I'll go out of my way to see it still (so many shows, so little time) but always pleasantly surprised when I happen onto it.

Even a broken watch shows correct time once or twice a day. I ought to know, I have a few!

I watch these when they come out because they are worth juggling my schedule for:
Supernatural (Sam, Dean, Cas.....yum)
Walking Dead (Andy has come a long way since silenty declaring his love to Keira Knightley)
Justified (which just ended its run)
Teen Wolf (my guilty pleasure: pretty bodies, silly stories, teen angst, adult drama, love, death)
Daredevil (I included this here because I watched it immediately when it came out even though I had to watch it on Netflix)
Duke men's basketball games during the season (don't call me when one is on, I won't answer unless you're my mother and even then I have to think about it)
Longmire (Raza is wrong)
Sherlock (BBC)
Stuff I Netflix because it's entertaining to some degree but not necessarily compelling and / or particularly good:
Suits (Ridiculous premise but the clothes are great and the people so delightfully amoral)
White Collar (I like caper stories)
Bones (She's annoying but I manage to overlook)
Grimm (Stupid but fun and I'm crushing on Cpt Renard)
True Blood (past its sell by, but I feel obligated to see it through to the end if only to watch Bill die)
Glee (enjoy the singing and dancing)
Stuff I discovered way too late but would have re-arranged my schedule for if I had known:
Firefly (http://www.intlwatchleague.com/showt...out-there-****)
Veronica Mars (I'm a Marshmallow)
Buffy (Girl power. One of the best things on television ever)
The Wire (Everything Homicide: Life on the Streets wanted to be but wasn't. Incredible show)
Stuff everyone else loves that you couldn't pay me to watch again:
Game of Thrones (Kill them all. Quickly. Painfully.)
True Detective (Ditto. I turn off Lincoln commercials now.)
Deadwood (wanted to love it. didn't)
Stuff that's in my Netflix queue:
Mentalist
Boardwalk Empire
Luther
Elementary
Gotham
Sleepy Hollow
Stuff that sounds mildly intriguing and may make my queue:
Agent Carter
Agents of Shield
Jeannie, who will probably think of some more

Jeannie, curious about the "even though I had to watch it on Netflix" comment. Does that mean you're watching on your computer? (Probably not, but reading it got me thinking). For anyone who doesn't yet stream online to the main TV, I highly recommend it. A ton of options out there, I started off with a "smart" Blu Ray player for I think $80. It would do Netflix but not Amazon Prime. Then, I got a small Sony BluRay that did do Amazon. Now I'm up to a really big screen LED smart TV in the living room that streams a ton of sources, and about to install one on the wall in my bedroom (what I should be doing now instead of reading/posting here!).
Roku is also a streaming option, as is Google TV and others. For those who don't stream onto your main TV, it is far worth it! Imagine surfing YouTube from the main TV, lots of great stuff there, including now a lot of full length movies, tons of concerts etc. etc.... And you can do your search from your smart phone and play it on the TV!
Brings me to another of my "regular watched" things on TV. YouTube! Okay, not a show, but it's got so much content. Guitar "how to's", welding tutorials, how to install electrical work, concerts and movies are all things I've watched recently on the big screen. For those who like him, I recommend Joe Bonamasa's "Muddy Wolf at Red Rocks". Tribute to Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, the entire show in HD available on YouTube, a great watch!
Oh and Jeannie, definitely watch Agent Carter. It's only 9 episodes, and she rocks! Talk about girl power, she has it all over the men on the show (at first it seems only she knows it). Too cool indeed. Boardwalk Empire also highly recommended.

No. I have Apple TV on both my flat screens so I watched it on one of them. The comment was to clarify why it was in the "watch when it comes out" section instead of the "watched on Netflix" section. It's a watch when it comes out show regardless of venue.
