I love 30 Rock so much, I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant!

I’ll soundly second bill p.’s advocacy for 30 Rock. Seriously, television hasn’t been so absurdly crazy-ass funny in as long as I can remember. It’s kind of different than The Office or Arrested Development, because it’s low-brow and obvious but still insanely clever. I’ll just say, there was one episode toward the end of the season with an Alec Baldwin bit that made me laugh so hard I nearly blacked out.

I highly recommend Friday Night Lights..DVDs come out this summer. It was the best new show this year.

As well, you could always go on a Lost binge if you get the urge. It's one of the more rewarding shows in the long term. I know we have roughly the same taste in TV and Lost is my second favorite show (next to The Wire)

Dexter is a must, when its season one DVDs come out. I doubt they'll be HBO priced..if memory serves me right Showtime shows are usually cheaper.

well there’s the small matter of my having never watched an episode of Lost in my life.

I’m kindof surprised you didn’t review the Lost season finale. The last half of season 3 I think was the best run of episodes on any TV show ever.

So do you think Amanda Peet will die in the final Studio 60? I’m actually sad to see the go now, as it has definitely come around in recent episodes…

I’m pretty obsessed with Big Love and Dexter..both are starting their second seasons in the US. And I totally agree with you all with regards to the Wire, its great!

After the Wire, you may want to check out The Corner, a six ep mini series by the same creators of The Wire, and many of the same actors as well. Like The Wire, it’s set in Baltimore (but in 1993) – but the tone is different and the focus is on the "consumer" end of the drug chain. Devastating, but well worth your time, especially if you liked The Wire.
