<p>^^It’s like watching Idris Elba (Stringer Bell) in Luther.</p>
<p>One of my favorite things about The Wire, other than the writing and acting, is seeing the actors in other roles. It’s fun to see Wendell Pierce (Bunk), Jim True-Frost (Prez) and Clark Peters (Lester) in Treme; Amy Ryan (Beadie) in In Treatment and The Office; Michael Williams (Omar) on Boardwalk Empire; Pablo Schreiber (Nick Sobotka) on Weeds, L&O, A Gifted Man; Michael B. Jordan (Wallace) on Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, to name just a few. So many of the actors were also in Homicide: Life on the Streets and OZ. Such a talented cast.</p>
<p>Dollhouse - by joss whedon - Everyone in the family loved it, great story, characters and actors.</p>
<p>NCIS - Not sure why, but I just love the characters. My son wants to know since they kill off a petty officer a week, who is left in the navy.</p>
<p>The good wife and scandal, weekly must watch.</p>
<p>I’m still looking for a favorite comedy, so I’m lookling for rec’s in this list. I miss having
a goto comedy that can make me laugh out loud.</p>
<p>
South Park did that for me for a while after I started watching it. I used to watch 2-3 episodes in bed every night to laugh and chill out after a long day.</p>
<p>Cartoons have a way of cheering me up.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to “Episodes” returning to Showtime and hoping for another season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” I would rather watch reruns of Larry David than any of the new stuff on television.</p>
<p>LoremIpsum, I am watching Hannibal, and I watched The Following. In truth, I enjoy them, but I dread them at the same time. Excellent writing and directing, but I end an episode feeling drained. </p>
<p>I finally watched Sherlock, and loved it. I am a fan of Elementary as well so it is an interesting contrast on two modern takes. </p>
<p>And for those that love Arrested Development. New season is available exclusively through Netflix. I am guilty of watching all 15 episodes in one day.</p>
<p>

<p><em>fans self</em></p>
<p>He is so good (and gorgeous) in that show.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Python, I recommend The Middle and Modern Family.</p>
<p>[For</a> those who haven’t had the pleasure of watching Idris Elba’s acting](<a href=“Stringer's 'product' meeting - YouTube”>Stringer's 'product' meeting - YouTube)</p>
<p>Gilmore Girls and Wonder Years for watching with kids. </p>
<p>West Wing I just got on DVD to watch when I expect to be recovering from surgery (looking forward to watching again). House of Cards is on my “expected to be loved must get” list. </p>
<p>Love lots of Masterpiece theater…which cracks me up because my parents used to watch it and (eyeroll).</p>
<p>alwaysamom - Thanks for the math correction!! I made the same mistake a few days ago and someone at the house redirected me. That makes it even worse. :o I’m not sure why that’s stuck in my mind…</p>
<p>Python - we are big fans of Scandal also.</p>
<p>I recently re-discovered Skippy the Bush Kangaroo after 45 years. It’s pretty much an Australian version of Flipper, complete with widowed park ranger dad and two sons, but with a kangaroo instead of a dolphin. There’s also a hot, hot, hot helicopter pilot (at least he was in 1968 -IRL he’s pushing 70 and still looks pretty good) and a teenage girl who’s a friend of the family and staying with them for a while. Nowadays, if you put a gorgeous girl in a house in the middle of nowhere with three unrelated men it would be the raunchiest thing on TV but this show is cheesy and fun and perfect escapism - what a difference almost half a century makes!</p>
<p>Outnumbered; a British comedy series; semi-improv with amazing repartee between the kids in the family and the parents…and a very accurate rendition of life with small kids. On Amazon Instant Video and I tunes.</p>
<p>The Big Brain Theory. As a former engineer, I love this show. I wish they included more math and physics discussions.</p>
<p>SCANDAL!!! Just watched the first season on Netflix last week. On Demand has an incomplete roster of season 2 so I am going to have to find a source for the whole season.</p>
<p>The Good Wife is another show that I started watching last fall and have come to really enjoy.</p>
<p>^ I binged on Scandal a few weeks ago and got caught up to date. Loved it! You can buy them on Amazon as soon as they air. So worth it.</p>
<p>Thanks, MomLive. I will check Amazon for the Scandal episodes. It is addicting!</p>
<p>We watched first episode of Scandal. Didn’t love it yet, but liked it enough to finish one show and consider watching more.</p>
<p>I watched “Scandal” 3 or 4 times but just didn’t love it. I’ve tried over and over to watch “The Good Wife” and just can’t love that either. </p>
<p>I’m happy that “Veep” is back - enjoying the second season.</p>
