I watched Camelot the same time I watched Game of Thrones. Damn it was crap lol. Looking forward to Dexter and Fringe comming out soon
 
boardwalk empire has been one of my favourite shows of the last 12 months - pretty sure it's been renewed for another season...
 
Seriously though it was a bad idea to watch camelot the same time as Game of thrones. If I had watched it separately maybe it wouldn't have seemed so bad.

Game of Thrones is probably the best adaption of a book to tv series I have seen. Great all round.

Anybody got some suggestions for shows?

Some of the newbies look promising. I liked Falling Skies, was a big Lie to Me fan due to the main character. SOA obviously. I did really like The Shield and will be watching it all soon.

Pillars of the Earth was a good mini series (based on the book). I enjoy watching Breaking Bad. Its something though you have watch from the start or you will think its a bit strange. I just recently started to watch Alphas ( cross between heroes and xmen kind of thing). I enjoyed watching Justified it brings out the red neck in me lol. Fringe is probably my favourite though.
 
Pillars of the Earth was a good mini series (based on the book). I enjoy watching Breaking Bad. Its something though you have watch from the start or you will think its a bit strange.

Will try Alphas and Justified. Never got into Fringe but it was ok. Terra Nova is also on my to watch list.
 
the sheild was an awesome show
it was change of pace seeing dirty cops rather then the same old crap of good cop solving all the crimes toeing the line dotting the I's and crossing the t's

the wire was an ok show once you got into it

just starting on Alpha's , not bad a hereo's type show

Does anyone else find using an I as a dot the i's example funny? Or am I just really bored.

really enjoying the wire at the moment. 3 seasons done, 2 to go, disappointed that there aren't anymore.

i'll have to give the shield a chance, but i have difficulting taking "the commish" seriously...
