We have just finished watching 24 and I am so sad that Jack Bauer will no longer be in my life [:'(] so I need something to fill the hole - I have the Sopranos lined up from my brother, I also fancy West Wing and Six feet under has anyone seen these? or have any other recommendations have done House already.

    Six Feet Under is brilliant!

    I'd also recommend Dexter. Just on series 2 now and it's amazing.

    Sopranos is amazing Willow! You will love it, I want to see it all over again and like you with 24, am in mourning a bit now we've finished it!

    I also like six feet under, we are trudging through it atm though I have to be in the mood for it, I enjoy it when it's on.

    My current favourites are Mad Men and The Wire, would really recommend them both - brilliant. We also love a bit of Southpark or Friends in bed (saucy!)

    Oh and we have also started watching Dexter, to fill The Sopranos void - really like so far!

    Thanks guys, Have heard a few people say Dexter is good so might try that, Big Bang we love but kind of seen them all a few times thanks to E4, EB I watched a few of true blood when it was first on and couldn't really get into it, Love Red Dwarf too but again seen loads. There are a few there I might try. I missed the wire on TV lamby so will look at that too thanks, why is it you seem to go into morning when it's over?! (sad icon!)

    Everyone is talking about this Game of Thrones what is it about?

    Dexter is a must (I luffs Michael C Hall!)

    Chuck is quite good too.

    I need to catch up on Cougar Town, am only part way through Season 2!

    West wing is great, I didn't fancy it at first tbh as I'm not that interested in American politics, but I'm so glad I gave it a go. We got totally addicted to it and some night were up far too late watching episodes as I didn't want to got to sleep. Also likes the wire, but found the middle series a bit dull.

    Nutella - Used to LOVE Ally Mcbeal but does it seem a bit dated now?

    Thanks all some good suggestions there!

    OH and I are currently working our way through the Sopranos...I didn't think I would like it as I don't like violence but it's really well done. The West Wing is also really good, although make sure to turn the subtitles on because they talk so fast! Prison Break is another good one if you like 24, very addictive!

    Lately I've also been forcing OH to watch my old Dawson's Creek DVDs with me, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're also a nostalgic child of the 90s ?

    Game of Thrones is brilliant - gutted that Virgin dont have Sky Atlantic so will have to wait for it to come out on DVD before we can watch the 2nd series

    Prison Break i thought was amazing - about a brother getting sent to prison so he can rescue his brother

    Lie to Me - about a guy who can read peoples body language so well that he can help solve police cases or find out where missing people are etc

    Mmmm ?

    Me and the OH are currently watching Friday Night Lights. I didn't think I'd get into it but I love it! It reminds a bit of the O.C, but this lot aren't loaded!

    Also would agree with Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. Another option.. The Office: USA!

    I just finished watching The Wire. First and two series were the best, I'd agree the middle was a bit dull but the rest made up for it.

    I'd second the recommendation for Breaking Bad.

    30 Rock is one of my favs too.

    Game of throne gets my vote too + Secret diary of a call girl and Desperate Housewives do love a bit of sex in the city too.

    Total girly ones for me, SATC. Friends. Mistresses. Cold feet. Downton Abbey.

    H is watching Breaking bad at the moment and seems to like it, its far too violent for me though.

    ETA and desperate housewives of course!!

    I'm going to second a bunch that have already been said:

    Fringe

    Cougar Town

    Modern Family

    Chuck

    And just for kicks, Revenge! It's a new show from this past season in the states, it finished a couple weeks ago, and I think it might just be starting to air in the UK, but I'm not sure when the box set will come out. It's my new favourite show!
