    I tried Sons of Anarchy and lost interest pretty quick. Also lost interest in Mad Men.

    If you haven't seen LOST, you're missing out.

    Comedies I'd suggest: Obviously Arrested Development, Scrubs, 30 Rock, Futurama. Newer ones I like are Modern Family and New Girl.

    As corny as it is, I do watch, and I hate to admit it, NCIS LA. haha.

    I have seen these all except for Fringe, Supernatural, and True Blood

    What would you rate those?

    I will give Deadwood another shot. I had a hard time connecting with this, for some reason.

    Of the ones you named I will likely add Suits and Happy Endings to my list. Thanks

    Seen all of them except True Blood. I guess I will have to try it. Not a big vampire fan. When did the show go down, for you?

    It takes about a half season to get it, but once you know the characters it gets really good.

    Probably the best written show I've ever seen and they NAILED the casting.

    haven't started watching true blood yet, but i hear good things. Supernatural id rate a solid 8 although it does have a lot of filler episodes and Fringe is 8.5/10 for me.

    Avoid Lost unless you enjoy plot holes, incoherent storytelling, and unanswered questions. One of the more overrated shows out there, in my opinion. Couldn't tell whether it wanted to be sci-fi, drama, or action/thriller. Shame...really did have a lot of potential after the 1st 3 seasons, but then it just got silly.

    Probably season 1. I enjoy the more grounded episodes over the super crazy ones even though there have been some amazing crazy ones.

    +1 on give Deadwood another shot. That one's amazing. Too bad it got discontinued before they could give it a proper ending.

    I assume you've probably seen Six Feet Under? I don't think it's been mentioned but it's easily one of my favorite shows ever.

    +1 on Community. Start with the first season for sure. I've enjoyed them all. The first few of this season started weak, but have gotten a little better.

    New FX series The Americans is worth a look.
