American TV

Oh how I miss thee... Not having American TV is the one thing that I just can't get over. I have recently found a few sites here in the UK that allows me to watch some shows, but I am missing out on all of the new seasons and most of what I have, I have seen before.

So let’s discuss this article I came across, The Best TV Shows of the 00’s:

  1. The Wire: never saw it
  2. The Sopranos: fair enough
  3. Arrested Development: such a shame it only lasted 3 seasons
  4. Freaks and Geeks: again, short lived - but awesome
  5. Mad Men: can't wait to see the new season, I got to see the first couple of episodes before leaving
  6. Breaking Bad: need to see it, heard it is awesome (loved him on MITM)
  7. The Office UK: yes, yes, yes
  8. Lost: at least for the first few seasons, unfortunately I let this die off last season
  9. Deadwood: didn't get around to this one
  10. The Shield: no interest
  11. The Office US: yes and yes. Kelly Kapoor. And Nard Dog.
  12. Battlestar Galactica: uh.... No
  13. 30 Rock: hells yes
  14. Futurama: most underrated cartoon out there, glad to see it on the list
  15. Veronica Mars: are you serious?
  16. Friday Night Lights: sorry Jenna - never got this one
  17. Firefly: nope
  18. How I Met Your Mother: why the hell is this all the way down at #18!!!!!!
  19. Big Love: yes, I enjoyed this on and off
  20. Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!: need to see this
  21. Curb Your Enthusiasm: yes, a bit dry though
  22. Six Feet Under: good
  23. Undeclared: damn - they should have made more seasons of this one too!
  24. Dexter: awesome, awesome, awesome
  25. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: no, never, not for me
  26. The Venture Bros.: who?
  27. Flight of the Conchords: Murray and Mel are amazing
  28. Eastbound & Down: good, but I need to give a few seasons
  29. Wonder Showzen: no clue
  30. The West Wing: NO.

Notable absences? I say Californication, Weeds, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Gossip Girl, Scrubs, Family Guy, Season 1 of Gray’s Anatomy and not sure if these fit on this list, but Project Runway and Top Chef

Anything else they are missing? or I am wrong about?

    I think Weeds and Californication are a HUGE miss on this. Mary Stuart Masterson and David Duchovny are the most likable disfunctional characters ever.
    New to the list should be Glee! LOVE this show. It's so tongue in cheek, it's great. Defintely something you'll need to catch up on when it comes your way HO.
    Finally, It's Always Sunny...how in the world did this not make the list? Hands down my favorite show right now. Kitten Mittons, Dick-towel, Dayman, Nightman, Green Man...pure awesome.
