Think this is in the right section of the forum?

Either way, almost finished catching up with Prison Break and i'm starting to look around for other shows to watch. :o

Lost - Not a huge fan, saw the 1st series.
Heroes - Seems quite dull but i haven't seen any episodes yet.

Spec me. :)
 
Hmm, just seems a bit, i don't know, obvious storylines following people in their normal lives? :)

But sure, i'll give a few episodes a go.
 
You need to narrow it down a bit more.

You mention PB, Lost and Heroes so I guess you mean Drama?

24
BSG
Greys Anatomy
Rescue Me
The Shield
Supernatural
 
The Wire (best TV show ever, and that's a scientific fact)
The Shield
Oz
Dexter
Friday Night Lights
Jericho
Brotherhood
Black Donnellys
Traveler (short but sweet)
The Unit

A selection of the ones I watch.

Edit: to be fair, I'm not that keen on Heroes. I'll still watch it but I don't think it's at the standard others think it is.
 
Give Heroes another chance, the first few episodes are a bit slow (but necessary for the plot) but it really gets going after.

Dexter is also awesome.

I also enjoy a bit of "30rock" for a change.
 
i watch heroes, 24 and lost as well as prison break - i defo recommend heroes to ya. check 24 too if youre willing to watch 6 seasons :)
 
I'll try and be a bit narrower Vai. ;)

I liked PB because it was quite violent, really makes you stop and think "Wow, that's clever", a very unique storyline about escaping prison..um..guess that's it.

And wow quite a list, i'll take a look at all of them! :)

it begins that way to set you up with the characters, it begins to move much faster a little way in. I think the slow setup is worth it, and necessary, once you get past it. If five or six eps in you still don't like it you'll probably never like it, but imo it's definitely worth giving it five or six :)

Also a little bit of The Sopranos and maybe some Heroes. All awesome programs and personally couldn't live without.

I was quick to judge all three of the programs above and but eventually got into them half way through. Give them ago.

Although I emphasized 24 is the best, The Sopranos rapes all.

I think you might like the Shield then. Probably something like Dexter as well.

Sopranos would also fit the bill and is great but not sure you will have the patience for it.
 
This is my must watch Tv list,

Quantum Leap
Babylon 5
Startrek NG/DS9/Voyager
Red Dwarf
Battle Star Galactica
Lost
Heroes
Dexter (omg this is amazing)

Ghost in the Shell
Elfen Lied
Naruto


If you haven't seen the early stuff like Quantum Leap then its definitely worth a watch.
