"They're here 4 our entertainment!"
If you're like me, and don't live in the entertainment capital of the world, you probably have a couple of TV shows that you watch regularly and download them every week.
The thing I love the most, is when I start watching a new show and I find out that there are a couple of seasons out already, because I don't have to wait a whole week for a new episode to come out. There are so many good shows out and it's impossible to keep track of all of them. So basically, if you're bored and don't know what to do, here's a short list of my picks:
Oh, Barney. He's the character that makes the whole show so damn funny.
So basically, this show is about 5 friends in NYC in their late 20s/early 30s, pretty much a standard "friends" sitcom, but there's a catch - It's year 2030 and the main character Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) is explaining his kids how he met their mother (thus the title) by telling stories about "adventures" he had with his best friends Marshall (Jason Segel), Lily (Alyson Hannigan), Robyn (Cobie Smulders) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). We still don't know who the mother is, but are enjoying the wittyness of the characters and their growing-up in the "city that never sleeps".
(IMDB 8.8/10)
The character we enjoy here the most, is pretty much Sheldon:
It's a sitcom about 4 geeks and 1 blonde. I was thinking of putting this show on the list for a while, because I'm not so sure what is so intriguing about this sitcom, maybe it's just the fact that it's different. It's worth giving it a shot, because it's hillarious.
(IMDB 8.4/10)
I could go on and on and on and on about this show. But since I'm recommending these shows, I don't want to give away any spoilers. My character pick in this show is definetely Sawyer (is he hot or what?):
However, he's not the main character - I guess I just like "bad boys with a good heart". The storyline starts pretty simple: Plane crashes on the island and there are some survivors. However, here the simplicity ends. Island is full of mysteries. If you have a lot of time on your hand, I highly recommend watching this without any long pauses. If you miss one episode, you won't know what you're watching.
Ok, so I promised not to give away any spoilers, but please (for your own good), if you start watching the show, be more fascinated by the characters than the story itself. Trust me.
(IMDB 8.8/10)
I much prefer this show than any other CSI variations. Great, diverse characters and always interesting plot is a bombastic combination for a successful show.
NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Services. So basically, if a criminal act happens to someone from Marine or Navy personnel or their families, they're there to do their job. As much compelling as every episode's story is, the magic comes from characters: Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is the leader of the team. His "strict, but fair" approach makes movie-quoting womanizer Tony (Michael Weatherly), geeky Timothy (Sean Murray) and ass-kicking Ziva (Cote de Pablo) probably the best special agents in TV shows history. Add brilliant goth forenzic scientist Abby (Pauley Perrette) and story-telling Dr. Donald (David McCallum) and you'll get a mix of thrill, action and comedy that you'll never forget.
(IMDB 7.8/10)
Sex, booze, drugs & LA - all that is a daily part of ever-charming Hank Moody:
Yeah, it's deeper than that. And compelling to watch. And funny. And exciting. And don't get me even started on the second season. Love it. Watch it!
(IMDB 8.7/10)
Another brilliant show from Showtime. I mean, who wouldn't want to have homework like this:
The show is about a mom Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker), her boys Silas (Hunter Parrish) and Shane (Alexander Gould) and her brother Andy (Justin Kirk). However it's not a typical american family show. Here's the catch - Nancy sells drugs. And it leads her to troubles. And just when you think things start unravelling, it gets even more complicated. The suspense and thrill you get while watching this show is unbeliveable.
(IMDB 8.6/10)
Have you ever wondered how it would be, if your doctor was so openly blunt that he tells you the truth every single time?
Add painkiller addiction and loads of sarcasm and you'll get Dr. House (Hugh Laurie). A brilliant diagnostician who, with the help of his team, doesn't leave any case unsolved. Can you say that for your doc?
(IMDB 9.3/10)
Who wouldn't let those two brothers to take them to a fantasy world of monsters?
Outstanding music, hot characters, cool car, mysterious events leads you feeling you're watching some of the greatest 80's shows and not 21st century series. But don't let it trick you. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are very up to date. They know what's "out there" and they're there to stop it. Ghosts, demons, vampires, zombies, angels... leaves you asking yourself Rob who?
(IMDB 9.0/10)
Ok, those are shows that are still airing. But what about some older shows that are still a thrill to watch even by the end of first decade of 21st century? (Also a tip for our younger generations to watch)
Will Smith at his peak of youth:
I still remember when I started watching this sitcom. I was at home, sick and browsing through channels when I stopped at one that had some guy sitting in a chair singing "Now this is a story all about how, my life got twisted, turned upside down..." Since then (which was about 15 years ago) I never missed an episode. I mean, who would want to miss adventures of a simple Philly boy growing up "in the hood" moving to a villa in rich neigbourhood? Fun not to be missed.
(IMDB 8.3/10)
Probably the cheesiest thing on TV I've ever watched, but I'm gonna put it up here.
The most typical family sitcom there is. But let's be honest - who haven't watched it? Three guys, raising up three girls can be funny. And it is. It's also pretty unrealistic, but who cares? It's cheesy, but I know you love it (if not for the show itself, who wouldn't want to have an uncle like uncle Jesse? On the other hand, I'm not sure if I want to be related to him...)
(IMDB 6.1/10)
Not so old as the others, but it delivers every time. Is there anyone who haven't at least once in their childhood dreamed of becoming a doctor? And to be one, you have to go through medical school, so you can re-live your dreams by watching this sitcom:
We witness the process of becoming a doctor through the eyes of day-dreaming J.D. (Zach Braff). There's fun and there's pain. And people you look up to and people that are there for you. But it doesn't always have a happy ending. The show's keeping it real.
(IMDB 9.2/10)
All conspiracy theories answered in one show:
What really went on in Roswell? What's government hiding? Not to worry, there are two very special FBI agents here to answer all our questions. Always believing Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and always sceptical Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) make a perfect duo for objective research. They can explain every unexplainable event. Or can they?
(IMDB 9.0/10)
I grew up watching this show. It has absofuckinglutely every genre there is. And probably the strongest characters you'll ever see. Joss Whedon (director) is a brilliant genius and I bow to him.
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), hot, strong, and ass-kicking chick is a vampire slayer. And handsome, brooding, mysterious Angel (David Boreanaz) is a vampire. But what happens when they fall in love? But the heart of the show is not about vampires. It's about growing up. It's about surviving highschool. Making friends. Going through heartaches. Learning. Losing. Feeling. Loving.
(IMDB 8.5/10)
It's THE funniest sitcom in history of television and I dare you to prove me wrong.
What do you get, when you have insecured-but-hidden-behind-jokes Chandler (Matthew Perry), not-so-smart-but-always-hot-and-charming-aspiring-actor Joey (Matt LeBlanc), tonedeaf-hippie-singer Pheobe (Lisa Kudrow), control-freak Monica (Courteney Cox), spoiled-runaway-bride Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and recently-divorced-paleontologist Ross (David Shwimmer) as best friends living in New York? A comedy of a millenium!
(IMDB 8.9/10)
Wow, this ended up being a really long post. Ok, I've done my part. It's time for you to do your part. What shows are you watching? I need me some summer fantasy world...
