So many of us like many other shows -so I think this thread is a great way for us to make recommendations about other shows to watch and connect with other people who love the same shows as you
My Favorite Shows
DRAMAS
SCANDAL-THIS IS A MUST WATCH-people if you watch Scandal and somehow don’t like it then you are a strange person -but if you like Fitz I cannot be friends with you (ABC)
Agents of Shield-Whats not to love? Its a comic book show with a super hot cast(ABC)
Sherlock-Because if you havent seen Sherlock there is absolutely no hope for you-and if you thought OUAT’s hiatus was bad…imagine waiting until 2016 for the next episode… (BBC)
Doctor Who-Because it Doctor effing Who(BBC)
COMEDIES
About A Boy-So this was a very pleasant suprise it has the little boy who played Owen in Welcome to Storybrooke and overall its a really cute funny show(NBC)
Baby Daddy-Okay so this is my absolute favorite comedy it has an amazing cast: Melissa Peterman, Tahj Moray, Chelsea Kane to name a few but the premies of the show is so funny -I love it…(ABC Family)
REALITY
The Voice- As a musican myself The Voice is so much of a respectable tv show because it is strictly singing not drama and I love that (NBC)

I love Reign on the CW. The costumes are gorgeous, I love almost all the characters (except for Francis). It’s a historical drama, not always accurate but what do you expect since it is the CW.
I love my Revenge. Emily and Nolan forever 🙂
I started watching The Borgias on Netflix but I haven’t finished.
Basically, I tend to be very selective with what I watch now a days and then of course, there are my soap operas (which can from time to time, be really crappy writing). And there are a few times, where my soaps actually surprise me with good writing.
Shows I watch Live
Mad Men
Sleepy Hollow
The Big Bang Theory
Doctor Who
Sherlock
Game of Thrones
Penny Dreadful (just started)
Pretty Little Liars
Project Runway
Grimm
Under the DomeI also watch shows on Netflix when their seasons come out
The Walking Dead
Supernatural
House of Cards
Orange is the New Black"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"@Obisgirl, I love Reign too! Except Francis too! I miss Henry already.
Other than Regin, I tend to gravitate more toward the fantastical/paranormal – Supernatural, Sleepy Hollow are favorites. I’m getting into the Originals somewhat. I can’t do Vampire Diaries though.
haha, I’m actually obsessed with shows like Ancient Aliens, Monsters in America, Finding Bigfoot…they are hilariously awesome.
The Mindy Project is probably the only comedy I really watch. It’s fantastic, I’m so glad it got a 3rd season.
True Blood (final season comes on in a few weeks I believe 🙂
American Horror Story
The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama 😛 I dont really watch that much tv"I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe
Keeper Of Tamara's Taser , Jafar's Staff, Kitsis’s Glasses , Ariel’s Tail, Dopey's Hat , Peter Pan’s Shadow, Outfit, & Pied Cloak,Red Queen's Castle, White Rabbit's Power To World Hop, Zelena's BroomStick, & ALL MAGICI’m not a dedicated viewer of TV shows these days like I used to be. Back in the day I’d have something I had to tune in for every single night. These days I barely remember what days shows are on. I haven’t become a dedicated viewer of a new show in quite a while. Back in ’07/’08 I got dedicated to a new show called Moonlight, was a vampire show that hit a bit too early, just before the vampire craze really took off, and it got axed after 16 eps. I’d gotten so attached to it in that short time that I was involved in the campaigns to try and bring the show back, but it didn’t work. OUAT is the only new show I’ve gotten attached to since then, the pilot sucked me in, I couldn’t help myself even though I’d sworn off immediately getting so involved in another new show ever again, lest it end up as another Moonlight situation.
At the moment I’m excited for the new season of 24. The first few eps was like seeing long lost friends again, and I hadn’t realised how much I’d missed them.
The Voice- As a musican myself The Voice is so much of a respectable tv show because it is strictly singing not drama and I love that (NBC)
I love our Aussie version of The Voice, but mainly for more shallow reasons. One of our coaches is Ricky Martin. 😉
Shows I watch more regularly these days tend to be competitive reality stuff involving cooking or home renovation.
out of those shows other people have listed, Ive seen a Little bit of Agents of Shields. I kinda liked it, but it wasnt one that hooked me in for good.
And then Ive watched season one of Under the Dome. That one I loved.. I watched it as a marathon viewing, because they showed the Whole season in one day (reruns) here in Denmark. Im definantly going to Watch second season of that one.
Game of Thrones is also a must (mostly) see. Ive tried to read the books I LOVED the first three volumes, but then for me it just gets a bit repetitive somehow.. but I have to know what happens in the story still, so now its just the tv version for me.
Other American shows. Sometimes I Watch Greys anatomy. But its not as good as it used to be or maybe it has just gone for too long. Im wanting more and more to try to Watch Doctor Who because all you Guys speak of it so warmly, so thats the next thing on netflix for me.
Grimm, I’ve no idea which seasons of Dr Who are available on Netflix or how far back you intend to watch, but be sure to not skip Tennant’s years, because his incarnation of the Doctor is simply wonderful in every way. If Tennant’s Doctor doesn’t get you to appreciate Dr Who, then nothing will.
There is something outside Once? 😉
And guess it is about more recent and still airing shows…
Drama
The Good Wife – it’s just good drama, and Julianna Margulies makes it all worth while. Additionally Alan Cumming is always a joy and who wouldn’t fall for Archie Panjabi, especially when she plays such a dashing, fierce, inscrutable complicate character.The Fosters – usually not much into family and teenager drama shows, but gave this one a try because of the family set up with lesbian mothers and foster kids, and still am curious how they go on telling the story of this colorful family. And what is not to love about Judicorn?
Elementary – like it way more than UK series Sherlock, and yes has something to do with women being more respected in this show, and not just because they made Watson a woman.
Scott&Bailey – UK crime show with two, one could say actually three female detectives in the focus. It’s more about them handling life and work, than about the crimes. If that reminds anyone of Cagney&Lacey that’s okay, it should, but it has Manchester charm, and frankly, I find that more attractive.
The Fall – another UK crime show, and one some might have heard of in this forum as well, because, Jamie Dornan is in it, as the bad guy. And Gillian Anderson and Archie Panjabi (guess though she will not be back for 2nd season)
Orange Is The New Black – I love Red. So good to see Kate Mulgrew on screen again and as such a great character. And Laverne Cox and Uzo Aduba. Pretty much love all the women on this show. There a some interesting characters and stories and they know to tell them.
Sci-fi
Orphan Black – of course. Anyone not watching this show and Tatiana Maslany (who got my attention already guest staring in Flashpoint a while ago) misses out. It’s more than just a brilliant one woman show (although that would be enough reason to watch).Dr. Who – tempted to put that under comedy though 😉 And a show I watch only sporadic, because can’t care less about continuity or story making sense if it comes to this show, it’s just geek fun to me. And British.
Supernatural/Fantasy
Grimm – monster crime noir with some Grimm fairy tales and sagas touch. Would be more surprising if I wouldn’t watch it.Haven – because Emily Rose. But this fictional town of freaks is a lovely place to visit, even though nothing might make much sense, but that’s maybe the point, is it.
Lost Girl – campy, flashy, dark, noir and crazy. There are shows I want to make sense of and there are shows like this one for pleasure inlcuding some hot cast, male and female and human and fae. Although I enjoy as well the crazy ride into mythology.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D – not sure if I like this show or like to hate it. Guess it would be easier if they would just be more goofy, but people take it serious. Looking forward though to Agent Carter.
Comedy
not quite my genre. or more, there haven’t been that many shows attracting me called comedy, though there are shows I would call perhaps comedic in other genres (like Lost Girl, Dr. Who). Love me some warped Monthy Python humor, and doubt that many outside of the UK (funny enough I am from outside the UK, but am pretty sure by now, must have been a Brit in one of my former lives) know a show like ‘Allo’ Allo! (but that was a show first airing in the 80s, long time ago)But there is one “series” (well, not sure if I really want to call it a series)
A Touch of Cloth – very British, that means some sexual inuendo and NSFW and probably should rate it PG17 (NSFW = not safe for work, as if anyone would watch videos at work). Comedy police procedural, playing every cop or crime show trope and some more screen trope – down to the detail (it’s great to take a closer look at the props, you can find some stuff on Tumblr). A rapid fire of jokes, not a second to take a breath, will make major sore abs. The kind of show people hate or like. Fun: Suranne Jones staring here as bisexual DC Anne Oldman (pronounced old man) plays one of the leads in Scott&Bailey.
(Jack Cloth is the main character, Asap Qureshi on of the other DCs, they’re talking about that Jack conveniently had some drugs at hand right in time to pretend to be a bad guy, and it was a break of narrative continuity)
Asap Qureshi: So… It’s against all established rules of narrative.
Jack Cloth: I don’t have time for rules of narrative
Asap Qureshi: But in terms of continuity alone…
Jack Cloth: Forget continuity!
some gifsReality TV
I watch the news and otherwise go down on the street, sit in one of the cafes around and watch what’s happening there in real – that it the best reality show I can get, better than anything on screen (well, one has to live in an interesting, colorful place for that).¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
The Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother (final season showing here)
Family Guy
American Dad
Ice Road Truckers
Sherlock
Doctor Who
Downton AbbeyDid used to watch The Walking Dead until Channel 5 dropped it alongside Once. Damn you Channel 5!
@Myril, ‘Allo ‘Allo was a good sitcom. You should also check out Keeping Up Appearances.All magic comes with a price!
