TV Series Recommendations

I fucking hated Friends when it originally came out. Now I can sort of tolerate it as a kind of 90s curiosity. The Rachel & Ross thing is still painful though.

Friends is hideously shit, guys. Why do Europeans like it so much???

In no real order:

Breaking Bad

Better Call Saul

House of Cards (US version

The X-Files

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

The Office (US Version)

Scrubs

Futurama

South Park

Metalocalypse

With honorable mention to: True Detective season 1

yeah you forgot Airwolf

I don't think I've even watched 10 entire series, maybe I'm forgetting lots too but whatever.

Miami Vice
Blackadder
Police Squad!
Freaks and Geeks

And yeah The Simpsons had a great run.

Does Columbo count as a 'series' in this thread or are they more just a bunch of movies like the Pink Panther or something (what you'd call a 'franchise' these days I guess)? Either way you cannot go wrong with Peter Falk.

I have vague but fond memories of Frasier too, don't know how I ever got into the habit of watching that one but I remember sticking with it for ages, almost to the end probably.

Huh, I never knew Father Ted was a thing in America, nice. Weirdly, despite being Irish and having had Father Ted references as a constant cultural touchpoint for years, I'm only watching through it for the first time now. So good.

No particular order, all equally great. Just typing this list makes me want to revisit all of em

Wonder Showzen (am I really the first to post this?)

Superjail (really recommend this, best adult cartoon ever made imho)

Danger 5 (funny as shit)

Adventure Time (esp later seasons, absolutely brilliant show and lore)

Tim & Eric

King of the Hill

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Shoutout to Matroesjka's as the best show Belgium has ever produced btw.
