Get on some TV

I haven't done this a while, but I figured some people might like to hear about some new shows to watch.

Maybe you're at the video store or Big W or sitting at your laptop thinking "I'd like to start a new show. Which one should I pick?"

30 Rock
In case you haven't got on it yet, this is the sharpest comedy on television right now. Season 4 just finished and it's better than ever. Season one is pretty good - better than other sitcoms - but it gets better and better each season. The show has also mastered guest casting.

Community
Another sitcom, this one is really quite clever. Set at a community college, it focuses on a study group. Not entirely consistent, but laughs every episode and it gets a pass because it's season one.

Fringe
Season two just finished and it is freaking getting crazy! The mystery of the week episodes are still great, but the over-arching story is getting huge.

Glee
The show Ryan Murphy wanted to make when he made Popular in the late 90s. A bit inconsistent, and can swing from drama to farce too easily (just like Popular), but it's entertaining.

Big Bang Theory
It might sound like a stupid American sitcom with a laugh track, but it's a lot of fun. Sheldon is a great character with his neuroses, while the Penny and Leonard dynamic works well. Howard and Raj can be hilarious too. Probably helps to watch this if you have some geeky tendencies. Three seasons out so far.

And some old ones you might not have considered, but I can definitely recommend.

The Wire
Kings
Mad Men
The Sopranos
The Office
