favorite television show.

I heard Judd Apatow on NPR a few weeks ago. Both Undeclared and Freaks & Geeks should have lasted more than a season. They were far from perfect; however, characters, casting, and story ideas were well thought-out and some of the jokes were really funny and original. I think one or the other could really have developed into something great.
 
Undeclared came out just after I graduated from college, so it really appealed to me. I bought it on DVD and was glad to see that I still enjoy it just as much.
 
Entourage is worth watching just for the banter.

Mad Men is a well-written and produced drama; however, its pace can occasionally be sleep-inducing.

I dream of being on that show, not that I'd win the million, but right when they vote me off, I'd walk away about 10 feet, drop my pants to moon everyone, and say, "THANKS FOR VOTING ME OFF JERKS!!!" Years later, no one would remember my name, but they'd all remember my exit. :D

It has gotten kind of ridiculous in these last few episodes, but I'm weirdly enjoying its daffiness. My one big issue with this show is that I never liked that actor playing Vampire Bill. I just don't think he has the charisma to pull off the role and he's overshadowed by what is otherwise a great cast.
 
I must be a reincarnated Brit because it is almost all I watch.

Sorry, but American TV sucks so badly in comparison...Our system is setup to ensure that almost nothing innovative, inventive or avant garde ever makes it onto American television (basic cable or the networks), other than programs from other countries. A lot of glossy, over-budgeted, over conceptualized programming over here although some pay or artier fare like Breaking Bad, Dexter and few others give me an ounce of hope.

As an aspiring TV producer, it is probably a bad attitude to have but every time I deal with the studios and networks, these beliefs are reinforced by my conversations with them. American networks just don't get it as far as what a powerful medium it is, to them, it is strictly a ratings whore business.

If you have Netflix, order it. You have a perverse sense of humor and an imagination, you will possibly dig it. It's not very pornographic although it is scatalogical at times. It is also on Cartoon Network on Sunday mornings at 1:00 AM. Guess it doesn't pull big ratings in that time slot ;-)

Great stuff, those guys are so creative. It is kind of like live London avant garde performance art combined with a comedy adventure show core. You just have to see it.
