[quote name='modium']Ah, well it depends on your taste. The Shield is on FX and it's the best show on television right now. The 4th season just ended a couple weeks ago, but you can watch the first 3 on DVD and then download season 4 or wait for the DVD to get caught up with season 5. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to jump right in when season 5 hits next year, but it's the most visceral show on TV, among things, so it'd be a shame not to see it all. 30 Days is brand spanking new, and I think it's great. By Morgan Spurlock, the guy behind Super Size Me, he puts people through 30 days in someone else's shoes. The first episode, he and his girlfriend lived on minimum wage for a month, second episode, he had a guy start shooting steroids and growth hormones and working out outta nowhere..the results weren't too great, as you'd imagine.
It's a great show though.
Rescue Me just started its second season, and it's a very good show as well. Shouldn't be too hard to jump right into, as there's a lot of new elements this season anyway. Nip/Tuck is starting back up in September, so you may want to check that out. Season 1 was good, but I just thought season 2 was dreadful- pretty much everyone slept with everyone, and I couldn't see any justification aside from pushing the envelope with sex on TV, but that's just me. But, ymmv on the shows. Also, they show decent movies quite a bit, if you'd rather watch 'em that way.
Edit: Also, two new shows just started, or will be starting soon, that I haven't paid much attention to. The Inside, which looks like another one of those dark, psychological thrillers with some kind of psychic twist, and Over There which is a drama (I believe) that's about US soldiers serving in Iraq. They're pimping it out quite a bit, but it just seems to me like a chance to strike while the iron's hot, personally.[/QUOTE]
I've heard good things about the Shield but I don't think I will be able to catch up.
Right now that 30 days steriod episode is on. Damn that dude's wife is pissed, they just found out his sperm count went from 75 mil to less than 1 mil with them all dead.
I remember some dude on my football team took steroids, and he still sucked.
