It's best though if it is watched in order. I don't care what some people say, don't skip anything. Because, other than what you mentioned, there are quite a few episodes that need background from the other episodes, heck, season one needs to be watched before season four, or some things won't be understood.Broken Orange said:
I wouldn't call the stories tying everything together vague. The only one I didn't get what was going on until the end, was season one. After that I understood I needed to pay attention to every little detail in each episode. It's always fun to see at the end of each season, how many episodes I spotted clues in that hinted at the season finale.
Now I've felt bad that I haven't been able to watch as much of the old series (1963-1989) as I would like to. It is actually a must if you truly want to get the relationship between The Doctor and The Master. I really didn't get the whole ending of season 3 until I went back to the old series and watched episodes that involved The Master.
So on top of your no excuse in not watching Doctor Who, I say there is no excuse for not watching the old series along with it. The only excuse that I will let slide is availability on the internet for watching, or money to spend on the DVDs. If I had the money now, I would buy season five of the new series (already have the other 4 and the 10th Doctor specials) and every episode of the old series on DVD that I don't already have.
So if you have the availability to watch it, there is no excuse not to.
In my defense, I am only in season three of the new series. Also, "vague" might be the wrong term to use. "They are loosely tied together but each episode is still great on their own." While it is best to watch it in order, you shouldn't let that get in your way to start watching it. Also, where can I find the original Doctor Who series on the internet? Hulu?Sonic Doctor said:
Sherlock. Sure, there are only three episodes that are ninety minutes long each, but that's two hundred and seventy minutes of awesomeness.
Not on Hulu, I wish somewhere online would pick it up. All I can give you is this:Broken Orange said:

It is a list of the majority of the original/classic episodes. Sidereel use to have links to places where you could watch it online, but ever since the DVDs of the old series have been coming out, it has been disappearing off the internet.
Now I just checked, some of the links that use to be on Sidereel in the past that were to youtube, and some of the episodes are still on youtube.
Now an important note about the old series is that it was a half-hour show, where each story arch was usually made up of at least 4 episodes sometimes more. I know there is one story arch from the 60's that had at least 10-12 episodes.
So just use the list from the link I gave you and search youtube and other sites you can think of. You are bound to stumble on something. For the most part you will find mostly the 5th Doctor's episodes, the ones I saw just recently on youtube are "Kinda" and "The Visitation".
Good Hunting.
Based on your examples, I'd check out Sons of Anarchy. I thought it totally sounded dumb - a show about a biker gang. But I gave it a chance when I saw the lineup of Ron Pearlman, Katey Segal and Henry Rollins. Great freakin' show.dj Facchiano said:I just finished watching season 5 of Dexter and now have nothing to watchsooooooooo I was hoping you fine gentlemen from the lands of escapistmagazine.com would be able to share your T.V wisdom with me. My favorite series have been prison break, dexter, and battle star galatica. I'm not a big fan of anime. THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.
You can pick up Caprica on DVD (cancelled during it's first season). It's harder to get into then BattleStar but it's damned good. And Ronald D. Moore is working on another series in that universe.
If you liked Dexter, you should check out Showtime's other original content. I didn't like The Tudors but I've found United States of Tara, Nurse Jackie and Weeds to be addictive.
If you're looking for comedy, Community is the best damned thing on television right now, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is amazing. How I Met Your Mother is also great (but prepare yourself - it has a laugh track), and I've seen a few episodes of Modern Family - also impressive.
You should watch Archer.
It's crude. It's lowbrow. It's some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen on TV.

Definitely Psych, it's one of my favorites.dj Facchiano said:I just finished watching season 5 of Dexter and now have nothing to watch
Scrubs.
Just... Scrubs. If you haven't watched this glorious show of magnificent people then... I think I might kill someone.
Do it!!

Well,I was going to say Dexter,but...well.
How I met your mother is pretty decent comedy.
And Persons Unknown,definitely that one.
That's all for now.
