Yes! Loved Tigh's banter with Adama - soft spot in my heart for crusty old "sailors" after that show.

Wow, so many shows I have to add to the list - waiting for Breaking Bad for sure, as Bryan Cranston was my absolute favorite on Malcolm in the Middle. I agree about Game of Thrones... IMO there are not nearly enough episodes in each season, and they are cramming too much plot into too little time. If you haven't read the book, it is very hard to pick up every line of dialogue, and *every single word* seems to be an important plot point... can be exhausting!

EXACTLY. I watch Game of Thrones with three others who have read the books and they have to explain things to me all the time. It's tricky and I have a hard time remembering all the weird names. Although I seldom forget Ghost's name. I also wish that Geoffrey would undergo the very worst torture known to man.

Downton Abbey is brilliant too. So is Band of Brothers (although you have to be in WW2 to appreciate that).

I'm enjoying GOT -- Peter Dinklage is the best! I also love Mad Men and Breaking Bad is excellent.

If you really want to reach back to an old show that was excellent TV and you like The Wire, catch the old Homicide: Life on the Street. I still miss that show! I got to meet some of the cast since they filmed all around my hometown. Melissa Leo, Richard Belzer, et. al... Andre Braugher was amazing in it, and if you like great interaction between characters, the partnership between him and Kyle Secor was absolutely amazing as it developed.

Oh, speaking of Andre Braugher, I enjoyed him in Men of a Certain Age. I liked Ray Romano in it much more than I expected to.

We've gone a bit off topic here, huh? But I love that you all love these shows too!

Band of Brothers was utterly, utterly phenomenal. Angie, don't give up on GOT - the third book/season has some very satisfying and emotional stuff.

Thank you both for the amazing show recs!

I shan't, Rae! I am in it (GoT) for the long haul.

If you liked Band of Brothers, try Pacific - same directors and vibe. My Papa literally lived through the story on Band of Brothers. He recognized so many of the scenes. They were very realistic I believe. Mind blowing.

Yes, Janet! The old Homicide episodes are fab! Not as compelling as the Wire though, but an excellent show nonetheless

We watch reruns of Seinfeld every night. We know all the shows backwards. The most brilliant comedy show on earth. George is MY BEST. (I am not a Sex And The City fan, which might surprise you).

OMG I was gonna say you needed an eye patch, but I see you totally have that handled!

*swoon*

I love this look on you! I can't wait to show my husband and give him the clues, lol. I'm sure he will guess it right away.
