mattmav45 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Here's the situation: I just finished up Arrested Development, and am now just waiting for the next season on May 26th. I'm going to leave it open to the board to pick my next show. It needs to be a show that can be streamed on Netflix, and preferably one that has already concluded. I was kind of leaning towards the likes of 30 Rock or Trailer Park Boys, but I'm open for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmav45 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Tell me every show you've ever seen and I can direct you to something you haven't. I'm just now getting into shows, so I have a pitiful list of what I've seen thus far. Wonder Years Twin Peaks Arrested Development And that's about it. I'm really down for any kind of show in terms of genre, although I'd prefer a 30-min show for now. Want to save the hour-long shows for when my fiancee finishes up nursing school and moves in with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Louie. 30 minutes and unique and awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Movie Man Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) As you mentioned 30 Rock > Rules of Engagement if you want a lighter comedy staring Patrick Warburton, who was Puddy from Seinfeld. Here is one episode to watch on Netflix to decide if you are interested.... as this is one show in the middle when the show has developed.

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted May 8, 2013 Community Manager Share Posted May 8, 2013 As you mentioned 30 Rock > Rules of Engagement if you want a lighter comedy staring Patrick Warburton, who was Puddy from Seinfeld. Rules of Engagement? Eh, I've been watching it on Netflix and it's basically what I watch when I want to turn my brain off. It's not that good and I would never recommend. If you liked the Wonder Years, I hear Freaks and Geeks is pretty amazing. From the shows I've watched: Cheers The Office 30 Rock Futurama Archer It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia That 70's Show Malcolm in the Middle (also good if you liked the Wonder Years) Raising Hope are all amongst the shows i would recommend.

Well, you are still watching it, so is it really bad, as I would never watch something that I hated? Which is why I gave him an episode to look at. As I said it was a lighter comedy series. And with only 87 episodes on Netflix, it is a pretty short series to watch. As with everything, some like, some don't like....and some Love Rules like a Cult Classic.

Dementeleus Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Parks and Rec or the earlier seasons of 30 Rock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Water Bottle Posted May 9, 2013 Community Manager Share Posted May 9, 2013 Parks and Rec or the earlier seasons of 30 Rock. A word of caution on Parks and Rec. The first season is atrocious but it dramatically improves as soon as season two starts. Goes fron being a D-series to an A-series and is currently the best comedy on the air right now (although New Girl is giving it a run of it's money). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmav45 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks for the advice guys. At this point I've narrowed it down to Louie or 30 Rock. Does anyone have preferences between these? As for Parks and Recreation, it's been on my list for a long time. However, it's one that we're both wanting to watch together. Ron Swanson is a character I want to get to know ASAP, seems epic from what I've heard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
