Ok,
I picked up Family Guy from here :) (and liking it a lot!)

And,
I have just started with:
Initial D: (too early, but) 8.5/10
Just 3 episodes done, but, I see - it has a nice story line to start with!
Some very basic things about driving, that seem to have built a fastest downhill/mountain drift driver - Takumi!

The graphic is pretty simple! (and Japanese kinda - DuH! It is Japanese!)

but, I am liking it!

Finished:
Everybody Loves Raymond: 9/10
Even though, I felt it was pretty predictable at the end season, still I was always happy to see the antics of Ray and Frank :)
Its definitely a good watch!

Care,

Ace.

I've started watching those reality shows on the Discovery Channel and National Geographic, like 'I Shouldn't Be Alive' and 'Jailed Abroad'. Fantastic, is what I'd say. They are quite thought provoking.

Other than Modern family whose Season 2 has ended, i follow these shows:

1. Community (Seasons 1 & 2)
2. The Borgias (Season 1) - Jeremy Irons is awesome in it
3. Game of Thrones (Season 1 just concluded; HBO Series)
4. Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Seasons 1 to 4)
5. Californication (Seasons 1 to 4)
6. The Big Bang Theory (Seasons 1-4)
7. Boardwalk Empire (Season 1)
8. The Walking Dead (Season 1)
(more but i can't recall at present)

Short series seen recently:
Band of Brothers (saw it a 2nd time; worth watching again)
The Pacific
Sherlock (BBC Series)
Luther
Spartacus: Blood & Sand
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
Shogun (1980 TV Series)

Waiting for:
Falling Skies (A Spielberg Production; Just started yesterday in the US)

and three more Spielberg productions due:
Smash, The River & the biggie Terra Nova.

Anybody here likes Rocky and Mayur's Jai Hind ? (NDTV Good Times).
I do, and gives a pretty good layman's view of our armed forces, peppered with Rocky and Mayur's light hearted banter.

Started watching MTV Coke Studio. The first episode was aired last Friday. It's a nice program which have music and only music. Basically they are trying to gather different artists from different region/culture of India in one single platform and showcasing the talent. They are mostly trying to create a fusion of different types of music Although the first episode was not that great as expected but they are evolving and will gonna be a great program to watch for music lovers. There were some great moments though and I feel that they'll become better as time goes by. And the best thing I like about it that there is no voting, no fake emotions/drama, no judge and nor even any anchor. It just music and that's what I like about it.

I loved this. :thumbs up

Can't wait for the next season to start.

Watching Castle Season 1 these days. Nice :)

Sherlock was awesome. It got so popular even though it was just 3 episodes, that they actually thought of the second season only after public demand. Wonder when we will have their sense of fabulous scripts, slick storytelling & production values. We have to make do with such utter garbage on our Television channels. Sigh.

have seen many but the best ones are...

1) The Wonder years (loved it as a kid. had a huge crush on winnie cooper played by Danica McKellar :D)
2) Doogie Houser MD
3) Friends
4) Seinfeld
5) Joey
6) 24 (probably the best TV series ever!)
7) how I met your mother
8) Music reality shows (indian shows and american idol)
9) Car shows (autocar, overdrive, cnb, street customs, top gear, fifth gear)

I have been watching a TV Series - THE OFFICE & am into Season 6. Its one of the funniest shows i have watched & am dreading what i am going to do after the series gets over.

We (Wifey & me) like it so much that we'll really miss all the characters once we're done with the 7th season. The next season in the US starts in Fall, 4th week of September.




He is the principal character, Michael Scott, Manager at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Scranton Branch, PA


He is Dwight, the eccentric but best salesman at the Scranton branch


This is Andy. If you remember, he was in The Hangover too.

My Rating: 9.75/10

Where do you watch it?

Bigflix has videos of the first 2 seasons, so I have watched those, but not watched the future seasons.

Wifey's cousin is an AD in films & is an aspiring independent filmmaker. He has a good connect with established as well as newbie Bolly directors, scriptwriters, etc. Most of the time we get rare english movie dvd's/tv series, etc. We watch & return as & when we're done & what's available.

I would recommend the following series which i love (apart from friends, etc that everyone watched)
1) Dexter (5 seasons till now). Was shown on start world but was highly cut.
2) Two and a half men
3) Flash Forward
4) Big bang
5) Californication

Recently watched and absolutely loved the following:

1. Spartacus: Blood & Sand
2. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
3. Game Of Thrones (season 1)
4. Breaking Bad (season 1, 2 & 3) - Strange that nobody mentioned this (unless I am blind and didn't see the post). Its critically acclaimed and one of the top hits on HBO in States. I assume most of you guys are following what's on TV and no channel is airing this one at the moment. But if you rely on internet for your favorite series then you might wanna give this one a go. For those who never heard of this series: Its a story of a struggling high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with terminal illness and doesn't have much time left to live. He turns towards criminal life and starts manufacturing methamphetamine in assistance with one of his former students with the aim of securing his family's financial future before he kicks the bucket. Once you start watching it, I bet you'll be glued to it.

Currently watching:
1 Breaking Bad (Season 4)
2 No Ordinary Family (Following this on TV)

There are tonnes of other shows on my hard drive which I yet to watch.

These are the ones I regularly watched.. 1 day after it aired in the US.
1. How I Met Your Mother
