General Discussion : What show do you recommend me to watch?

[Rufflesack]

How I Met Your Mother has a lot of sex references, I'll admit it. I'll also say it's not at all intelligent humor when it does so, but I enjoy that kind of humor for whatever reason. It is a sitcom that revolves largely around sex, and that's just it's form. That said it's not fair to say it's nothing but sex references, as it has some other seriously hilarious and genuinely well-written content. I think one probably doesn't notice this because Barney is such a prominent character (he pretty much gets all the viewers attention) and he's pretty much all about the sex. The amount of humorous moments between Ted and Marshall on the show are probably what I enjoy the most about it, and that's usually concentrated on other stuff than sexual humor. Also, it's the show that does pop-cultural references the best of any show I've seen, and that's something I enjoy. Not simply referencing it, but subtly working it into jokes.

It should also be mentioned that a huge amount of the content on Seinfeld is sex references. For the time that it aired (I realize the 90s isn't long ago, but it's long in TV years) I'm pretty surprised that the execs actually allowed it. Obviously not as much as on this show, but again, considering the time it was made it was pretty substantial.

I recommend not watching anything anyone in this thread posted besides AD.

Check out HBO, they usually have good shit.

Each character in "Friends" is unique and lovable in their own way

No, just.....no. My god.

Huge amount? Nah.

btw has anyone seen the show Huff? it was one of my fave shows, unfortunately it got canceled after 2 seasons, cos of "low ratings". i haven't met anyone on the internet who's seen it, and that's too bad cos it's brilliant.

[Rufflesack]

Think I'm going to check out Huff.. If only because Hank Azaria is pretty hilarious, and because I've run out of other shows to watch (other than what's currently running on TV). I always feel the need to watch TV shows in huge bulks, this might do fine.

dude, FRIENDS is like the worst shit that has ever ever been on television. ever.

check out:
TWIN PEAKS
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
THE SIMPSONS (prior to season 11)
ON THE AIR
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM
SEINFELD
UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE

prob. in that order or something.

[Rufflesack]

Only watched like 3 episodes of Buffy to see if I would like it, but I couldn't stand that shit. Sarah Michelle Gellar is one of the most annoying people I know of.

Also, saying Friends is the worst thing to be on television ever doesn't really make much sense. What about all those crappy teen sitcoms on the Disney Channel? Friends might be annoying, cliched, silly, whatever, but it's certainly better than, say, Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos.

Good to see someone else has seen On The Air. That show is probably one of the funniest things I've seen in my life.

Ended up watching 4 episodes of Huff last night, absolutely loved it. Thanks for the recommendation.

season 6 of buffy is genuinely excellent methinks, really creative twisted pitch-perfect stuff.

[prowler]

if you liked hank azaria before, you're gonna love him now glad you dig Huff

[Darko]

Huff sounds nice, I´ll check it out.

Does the 2nd season end with a cliffhanger or is it finished?
