Which TV show should I watch first?

 I'm in a bit of a situation here as i have two good shows i want to watch but i cant pick which one. I go on these kicks where i will find TV shows that have been over for a while and sit down over a weekend or a week and just watch nothing but them from start to finish. Over the last two months i have done it with:

• The Shield - Entire Show 
• The Endurance run from where i left off 15-today
• Xena - Season 4
• Hercules - Seasons 2
• The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy - Season 4

dont know either one. sorry!

Call me crazy, but I didn't think The Wire was that good.
 
 
Oh, and watch Dexter.

Battlestar Galactica

" Call me crazy, but I didn't think The Wire was that good.   Oh, and watch Dexter. "

Both are fine, but The Wire is one of the most realistic portrayals ever and one of the best TV shows that ever was. Period. Excellent casting and writing.
 
Dexter is a fun ride, but it's really terrible and bad in the same campy and sloppy way that True Blood is (that is, not the greatest TV, not great writing, not great acting... but still a fun watch anyway).

i have watched all of Dexter and BSG all ready. Right now I'm just going over shows i always heard where good but never looked into.

I've only heard of The Wire, but never watched it. So I voted that :P

I'm in the process of...ummm "getting" OZ right now.  Has anyone seen it and is it good?

" Lost. "

• Burn Notice   S03    E10
• Eureka           S03    E17
• Fringe            S02    E01
• Heroes          S04    E01
• Hung             S01    E10
• Rescue Me   S05    E23
• Weeds          S05    E14
• Dexter           S04    E01
• 30 Rock         S04    E01
• The Office      S06    E01
• Star Wars The Clone Wars    S02    E01
• Criminal Minds    s05    E01

" Lost. "

Deadwood. It's shorter and is a little easier to get into than the Wire. 
 
Not Lost.

Wire in the Blood.

" Lost. "

I haven't watched Deadwood, but have heard many good things about it. I absolutely loved The Wire, I would (and do) recommend it to anyone, I would say however I found it much easier to watch with subtitles as following the Baltimore accents was quite difficult at times.

Why punish them, If he enjoys people staring at each other for unnatural amounts of time and never have your questions answered, by all means watch lost. "

Yes, by all means.  Why watch a critically acclaimed and immensely popular television show that has been nominated for literally over 100 awards including around 30 emmy nominations over the past five years?   I noticed he watched Fringe, so I recommended Lost.  "

I have never watched either, but I heard The Wire is epic.

I'm sorry to have to break this too you, but lost is BORING.  Whylostsucks.com said this and I found it very true.  "   Nothing ever really happens. Oh, you think something is going to happen.  The previews show that something is going to happen.   Sadly though, in the end nothing really happens.  It’s amazing that you can watch a whole season of the show and end up pretty much where you started.  Yep, still on the island. Nope, still don’t know what all the crazy stuff happening is about…"  That pretty much sums up the entire show. "

There can be no other. "

*Sigh*  Alas, there is simply no accounting for taste.   You have every right to not enjoy the show; in fact, I used to hate it before I became more open minded and gave it a better chance.  Just know however, that you are in the vast minority. "

" @DarkFlow83: I watch Lost. I get what's going on.  It entertains me. And it's funny you quote a website to form an opinion for you which is flawed. A show is on the air for years, yet nothing ever happens. That makes sense. I take it you've watched every episode. "

My apologies to crusader for turning this into a "Lost sucks!"  "No it doesn't!"  thread.  However....
 
@DarkFlow83:  The show has been nominated for an "Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series"  every freaking year!  And I personally think it is one of the best written shows on television.  People critical of lost such as yourself  are often only casual viewers, which is unfortunate because lost demands you watch every episode to truly understand what is going on.
 
For some people, it is a major turn off.  I can understand that.  But for those who want more cognitively stimulating television, (such as myself) it is a godsend.   
 
I'll stop ruining this thread now.

DEXTER

Man I hate polls that don't offer an acceptable choice.
 
/raises a toast to 'hatred'

i never watched any of those shows but i think deadwood seems like a good title for a show. idk what it's about but it seems like an interesting show.

" Lost. "

I've seen both of them but they just didn't interest me.

" Lost. "

I'd recommend adding Breaking Bad to that list. "

For me the ones you put are both rubbish, I just don't like them. So I'm suggesting ones you've probably seen. (And I apologise if you have, but I can only recommend what I think is good.)
Heroes, 24 and Band of Brothers. Oh! There's a series here in the UK called Survivors. It's surprisingly good. You could probably find it online and if you're american you'll find it extra fun since our accents generally sound funny to you guys, lol.

 @Bombs_Away: I Face palmed.
Wow! I hadn't noticed the comments were that old, I usually pay attention to this stuff as well, lol.
 
Also I actually looked at it from the home page so I saw it at as a newly made topic and forgot to check when the last post had been made.
 
Anyway your aggression was unwarrented. I may have been a dumbass, as we all are occasionally, but your attitude is plain rude.
