If we're talking British shows, then top gear has to be mentioned. About as funny as it gets.

If you haven't seen Arrested Development you need to do yourself a favor and watch it. The best collection of characters I've ever seen in a sitcom and the writing is phenomenal. You need to watch more than the first 2 or 3 episodes though as it becomes much better when you are really familiar with the characters. I think they stream it on Netflix.

Scrubs is better than a guilty pleasure, it was a show that has great physical humor and yet can punch you in the face in an emotional context like no other comedy could. Occasionally heartbreaking sad, but always silly. I meet some Germans who said they liked it and that scared me though, so much of the humor is racial and homoerotic with Turk and JD and I am not sure how well that translates. Do others get the context the jokes are coming from?
I liked Scrubs early on, but it got a little tired by the 4th season or so. Got into that sitcom zone where the characters become cartoonish imitations of themselves and the "dramatic" scenes started to get a little heavy handed.

Current: Mad Men, Big Bang Theory

Guilty Pleasure: the”new” Hawaii Five-0

Syndication: Seinfeld, Sopranos, Three’s Company

Oldie: the original “Mission: Impossible”

Gone before it’s time: “Fastlane” – Ran for one season 2002/03 starring Tiffani Thiessen and Bill Bellamy as LA undercover cops who get to use all the cool stuff they confiscate from the bad guys as part of their cover. Muscle cars galore….plus Thiessen….:p

I have no life so I actually decided to read this entire blog explaining how Tony must be dead, and honestly, it's so in depth and I spent so much time reading it that I feel like it must be true. So yeah, Tony is dead.

Hey thanks for that link. I came across that a year or two ago and always wanted to read it over again. That is a great read and after all thats in there i think im also buying into the fact that he is dead.

I've never been more pissed off than watching the Sopranos ending. Though Lost was close.

Looking back on it, i wish David Chase made it more obvious. He had to have known the ending would confuse every person watching it. When a series ends it should be closed out. Dont end with a cliff hanger, make sure the audience knows whats happening instead of having to guess like the Soprano finale.

Some of us, like myself, are just beginning season 2 so it would be nice if you would delete your post or put up a Spoiler warning.

I'm ridiculously pissed off right now. Season 2 was next on my list after wrapping up watching every season of Sons of Anarchy(on season 3 now, can't believe I waited so long to get into this show since I usually like everything FX puts out) and now I get a huge spoiler like that on the boneyard of all places.

Sry. Its been 5 years since the series finale and the seasons have been airing on A&E for the last 3 yrs. Didnt think it was necessary to hide anything
