I've just finished watching all 4 series' of Prison Break.  I hadn't bothered watching when they were on TV as I missed the first two eps and if I don't see something from the start I won't bother with it.  My mate kept banging on about it so I decided to give it a go and was glad I did.  Only problem is, now that it's over, I've nothing to watch!  I've heard 24 is good and maybe Heros?  Anyone got anything else they would recommend?

I loved:

 

Six Feet Under, ER, The X-Files and Lost.

Six Feet Under is an incredible TV show, the only series that had me in floods of tears at the finale.......it's so well done.

I also cried buckets at Dr Greene's exit in ER, it affected me so badly!!

 

I stopped watching ER before the final series though, and felt like it should have ended a few years before it bowed out.

 

Dexter is also excellent, but I have yet to see the third and fourth seasons.

 

Heroes' first season is very good, but I didn't enjoy the way the storyline developed after that.

Katerina.... I loved LOST and was a bit too fanatical about it   kept up with everything online and was a member of a few LOST forums.  ER was another fav but like you I missed the last series and also felt it should have finished long before.

 

I've heard Dexter might be good to watch, I did watch one ep but didn't get hooked.  But if you haven;t watched Prison Break I think you'd like it....quite a few LOST actors in it so that's always good

Does anyone else remember it?

I don;t remember it but looking at it i'm sure it would have been on in our house cos my dad wasa western a fanatic,.

I saw the first two series of Prison Break but missed it after it went to Sky, must try and catch up with the later episodes. I was totally hooked on the first series, the cliffhanger endings were brilliant weren't they.

T-Bag is one of the best characters ever

I watched The Waltons tonight...its on 189 on VIrgin,....and it was one from right near the start!

 

We tried to set it up to record the series but the option wasn't there.

Katerina T-Bag is a brilliant character, which sounds a bit weird considering how evil he is!  I loved his mannerisms and even tho he's a creepy killer there was something about him   I think a mix of Michaels brain, Lincs brawn and Sucre's look is a recipe for a perfect man, for me anyway  

 

Kaffy LOST was phenomenal for those who stuck it out, I was pissed off with the ending but apart from that it's been the best series on TV in a long time.  The Good Wife sounds good....I like the promos for it so might hunt that down.

Going some way back, strangely I can mostly only remember comedies

 

Cheers back in the day, The Cosby Show, also back in the day but I'd get the feeling that's probably not stood the test of time.

 

A Bit of Fry and Laurie

 

Our Friends in the North

 

Star Trek (The original series)

 

70s comedies that they still show like Steptoe and Son, Rising Damp, Poridge

 

Father Ted I can watch again and again

Oh the Cosby Show was a classic!  I must have been pretty young when I was watching though lol.  I remember my dad watching Poridge so I've seen a few of those, again probably not suitable for me at the time but I watched anyway!  Only Fools & Horses is another that I loved when I lived in my parents house but don;t care much for these days.

 

I've decided to download Dexter and Law & Order SVU series 9-12 so far.  I'm still considering 24 but might wait a few weeks otherwise I'll never be off my laptop!
