Bored. Need new TV series.

[lRookiel]

Merlin, the DVD's are out and the third season is drawing to a close soon so that will also be released on DVD aswell soon.

Great series, great characters, and surprisingly easy to get in to.

Others that I HIGHLY recommend are:

Dexter (Murderer working for the police, what can I say its truely brilliant)

Two and a half men (Heck even with charlie sheen gone its still epic)

The inbetweeners, possibly the funniest thing produced on television.

Blackadder is a crown jewel of comedy and is something to behold, WATCH IT NOW LEST I DISEMBOWEL YOU!

 

[Cowabungaa]

Shows I adore that aren't on your list:

- Mad Men

- Boardwalk Empire

- Sons of Anarchy

- Deadwood

- Californication

- Arrested Development

- Community

And some other, minor ones I can't think off. Mostly animes, I'll stick to live action here.

Community for humors funniest show I've seen in a while.

Not just for the humor:

 

[Philol]

Misfits would be my suggestion.

 

[The Funslinger]

Torchwood.

Damn good, sometimes scary fun.

I fucking love Torchwood.

Also, I can't believe nobody has mentioned How I Met Your Mother yet!

 

[AkaDad]

Most of the shows I was going recommend have been mentioned already.

The Wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Community, Archer, and Burn Notice.

British TV:

Luther (Possibly the best police drama I've ever seen)
Skins
Shameless

American TV:

Haven
Nikita
Happy Endings
Revenge

Showtime:

Homeland

Starz:

Spartacus: Blood and Sand

The Wire is the best series in the history of television. And I'm prepared to shout and gesticulate wildly at anyone who claims otherwise.

 

[Vampire cat]

The Wire is kinda cool =3. Also I really enjoy The Mentalist, but I imagine there would be a lot of complaining about that show in the same categories as there is with for example CSI: Miami... "Omfg thats not realistic!" I haven't actually searched for such complaints cause I don't want to know, I just want to enjoy my show X3.

 

[Wintermoot]

have you already seen the old Dr.Who episodes? (from 1963 onwards)
I,m currently watching Intial D (Japanese version the US dub sucks)

 

[w1ndscar]

Misfits would be my suggestion.

I applaud you for your Leo and Satan avatar

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

Also, the I.T. Crowd's a nice show. Lots of computer humor, and the jokes are brilliant even though it's British.

This one, especially if you work as a PC technician or you're just really tech-savvy. The jokes will be right up your alley if that's the case.

Also, OP, if you're bored, I have a solution for your brain: Have you tried turning it off and on again?

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Other than what you've already mentioned, I recommend:

Red Dwarf
Misfits
Samurai Jack
Phineas and Ferb (Yeah, I know it's a kid's show, but it's WAY smarter than much of the crap on now...)
Baccano
Death Note
South Park
Futurama

 

[Toaster Hunter]

My recommendations: Battlestar Galactica, HBO's Rome, Firefly, Game of Thrones, and the Tudors

 

[HHammond]

Buffy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sounds crappy but it's awesome. You might want to skip season 1 though because it's pretty crap. It doesn't become awesome until about halfway through season 2. Buffy is sort of like new Doctor Who but in high school and much much better.

Angel is also really good, but has the same deal.

If you didn't already know it's done by the same guy who did Dollhouse and Firefly.

The IT Crowd if you're looking for something hilarious.

 

[Swyftstar]

Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad and last but not least:

Breaking Bad.

(Seriously, check it out.)

I'm not sure if I understand you. Are you saying he should try Breaking Bad or not?

I will second or third Torchwood. I know you said you've seen classic British stuff but I would be remiss if I didn't mention what I think is the funniest show ever, Ab Fab. Also, a new show this season, Spy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_(2011_TV_series), is really funny.

 

[Buzz Killington_v1legacy]

I came in to say Breaking Bad, but an entire martial arts school of ninjas has been there first. Check it out, though--it takes a little getting into in the first set of episodes, but then it just won't let you go.

 

[Allgoodnamesareused]

Adventure Time.

 

[Tiger Sora]

I hear Boardwalk Empire is pretty good. Mafia stuff.

 

[Gabanuka]

and the jokes are brilliant even though it's British.

You seem to think being British is a bad thing for comedy.

OT: Dont judge because its a cartoon: Avatar the Legend of Aang is pretty good. Granted its is a kids show but that doesn't make it any worse.

 

[doomspore98]

the wire, breaking bad, the walking dead, grim, once upon a time, 30 rock, modern family, the office. These are all shows that I watch and they are amazing

 

[Guffe]

Supernarural is great just finished watching 6th season

I hope you mean Supernatural...

Yeah, Supernatural, Friends, Dexter. Good series, there are of course more but I bet you'll get enough from teh others too
