I need a new series to watch so I thought we could all suggest our 3 favourites or "must see" shows.

. The Walking Dead - I just finished it and it gripped me from start to end, amazing
. Criminal Minds - Easily the best cop/FBI drama IMO
. The Mentalist - Extremely clever and interesting cop drama

Do I dare suggest...?

No.

Archer
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Supernatural

Attack of the Show
Ninja Warrior
COPs

I haven't seen the Mentalist, but I am quite fond of the Walking Dead and Criminal Minds.

Assuming that these must be shows currently on TV:

Breaking Bad - Chemistry teacher with lung cancer starts to cook meth, originally because he believes he is dying and wants to leave some money for his family. Becomes most notorious meth cook in the southwest.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Funniest show in years. A group of self-centered morons own a crappy bar and come up with harebrained schemes to get ahead, or simply get revenge, which always, always blow up in their face

Archer - a spoof on Cold War era spy thrillers, centered on the intelligence agency ISIS, which features a possible former Nazi mad scientist, a nymphomaniac head of HR, an alcoholic egotistical director, who is also the mother of the main character, Sterling Archer, who, while an extremely proficient spy, is actually only in it for the lifestyle; money, women, and power, though this also usually gets him into serious trouble.

EDIT: High-fives for Bromsy. Excellent taste, sir.

**purplefood**

Archer
The Mentalist
Burn Notice
(I would also add Life but that's finished)

**LordofHats**

I also propse Archer. Utterly Hilarious. The cancer episodes are by far the best.

Supernatural I actually think is way past its prime. The series has just became less fun since the end of Season 2.

Life was so amazing, it was such a shame that it got cancelled. It's up there with other greats like The Chicago Code and Lie To Me that got canned for no good reason! You might want to look at Homeland, it has the same bloke in it and it starts soon.

Lana.

LANA!

"Whaaaaaat!?"

"My father was not a Nazi. He was a scientist."

"Oh? I think the Nazi's had those."

"No they didn't! That's why we- Er, they, lost the war! A lack of science!"

We're totally derailing this thread... We should probably stop

**RatBot**

Archer: Whoa, you actually thought I wanted to have sex with y - [starts laughing uncontrollably]
Ramon Limon: And what is so funny about that?
Archer: [still cracking up] No, no, it's Woodhouse! He's all tied up somewhere, sc - Scared and alone!
[laughs] And possibly dehydrated!

EDIT: Yes, yes, enough Archer quotes. Back on topic.

**asimo77**

Maybe it's cheating to only recommend one show, but everyone needs to watch Dexter.

It's hands down my favourite tv show of all time.

**WarOne**

My three favorites as of now:

True Blood (I can't shake how horribly campy this show is, and yet, hard to turn away from)
Thundercats 2011
Pawn Stars

**Chowderhead**

My top 3 shows are:

The Walking Dead
Phineas and Ferb
MLP: FiM

Yes, that third one counts.

I have to back Ahtman on this one...
I do like a good hat.

**WARORK93**

NCIS
Deadliest Catch
Regular show

Yes the last one counts...its decent for a cartoon.

Look at you go, making the first reply relevant : P

**Kanluwen**

Young Justice--I don't need to explain why. It's fantastic, and it's well worth watching. If you enjoyed the Batman: Animated Series or Batman Beyond, you will enjoy this.
Burn Notice--Stellar cast. Stellar shooting. Women in bikinis. Bruce Campbell. It's fantastic.
Psych and Castle(tie)--Fantastic cast with a good synergy on both. Hijinks that amuse me greatly and some fun references abound.

**Coolyo294**

Psych
MLP: FiM
Invader Zim

**LordofHats**

Second Psych and Young Justice. If you miss Teen Titans, Young Justice isn't the same style but its a similar show (its more mature if the lack there of was why you didn't like teen titans).

Is there anywhere you can watch Invader Zim anymore? Other than on DVD? Was a fun show but I don't think it even made it past season one (two?).

Two seasons and a Christmas special...

If you get Nicktoons they play Zim sometimes...

**LordofHats**

I must have just missed the second season. Don't even remember a Christmas special. Which season was that?

**Coolyo294**

Netflix has Invader Zim.
