Anyone catch Rake on Fox this week??? wanted to see it but forgot it started and I didn't record......wondering if I have time for another show........

First time ever in the TV Thread.

 

Just looking for new shows to check out, I'm stuck in the apartment for two weeks over Chinese New Year's before I can fly to Indonesia.

 

Here's my current list.

 

Elementary

Sons of Anarchy

Breaking Bad

NCIS

NCIS/LA

CSI/Las Vegas

Modern Family

Big Bang Theory

Scandal

House of Cards

Hostages

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD

Entourage

Larry David/Curb Your Enthusiasm

 

I've heard some recommendations for Homefront, Boss (Kelsey Grammar), The Newsroom, The Blacklist and Betrayal. Someone else mentioned The Good Wife but I'm not much of a Juliana Margulies fan. Person of Interest, too.

 

Any other great shows out there that are reminiscent of the ones on my list?

Thanks for the head's up. I don't think anyone here knew that.

Boss was really good, but they killed the show after two seasons.

I have to imagine that at some point in this season of Shameless they're killing Frank off.

Unless this is the final season, that would be a terrible mistake

person of interest and/or chicago fire are also good shows to watch

Well, House of Cards, Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy are probably my 3 favorites.

 

Police investigation shows are fine, but I like to mix in a little political intrigue as well, with Scandal being another example, as well as Hostages (I always liked Dylan McDermott on The Practice before it got too crazy there at the end).

It just seems like they've been gradually made Frank less and less prominent as the series goes on. But hey, maybe Carl will scrounge up a liver in an alley somewhere. Knowing Shameless, I'm not sure if I'm joking or not.

I could see one if Franks siblings dying and giving the liver to Frank. Lol, maybe the gay one that fathered Ian

Orphan Black is one worth watching

Shameless, Homeland, and Sherlock are the big 3 I see missing from your list.

I was also gonna say Homeland.

Game of Thrones

Justified

I enjoyed the first season of Orange is the New Black.

Just watched the first 4 episodes of Veep. I must say I am underwhelmed.......hope the next few get better or I'll be bailing and looking for something else to start......

I saw it...it's good...kind of like House for the legal field.

I like the Blacklist, but it's almost entirely just because of James Spader.

True Detective is an extremely well written and acted show with an engaging story. 2 weeks for the next episode...

I really hope Fiona isn't turning into Nancy Botwin from Weeds where she starts to repulse me.

A bounceback episode for True Detective. I managed to not fall asleep during this one.

 

Shameless was solid, but I still get confused every time I read "Chicago Polytechnic" on everything. They can't be making this mistake every single episode. I guess he just turned down his full ride to MIT and decided to go to some other school that was never mentioned previously?
