thatgirl1985 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Can anyone recommend some decent TV shows and movies? It doesn't have to be kid-friendly. I'm a single girl in my 20s. I can overlook mild foul language and violence as long as the violence is good guys vs. bad guys. I like Burn Notice and all of the cop shows. Also enjoyed LOST even thought it was CRAZY! I like sci-fi shows, too, and have seen most of them. Maybe you have an obscure one to suggest? Thanks so much! I'm stuck in Korea until April. Been here 10 months and am running out of entertainment options. ~Meghan~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospectmom Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Oh it just slipped my mind the new show about Dr's in South America working at a small clinic.... love it . I love the History channel find a lot of interesting shows on it and the Discovery channel and of course the Biography channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelPAGuy Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The tv show you are thinking about the doctors in South America is called Off The Map. I absolutely love the show too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTown Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Some fun, good shows: Chuck - Start with season one. This is a fun, church-friendly show with little to no cursing, but a brilliant cast and incredible writing. Supernatural - Season one is a bit slow-going - It's pretty mindless 'Monster of the Week' style fighting. The ending of season one is great, though, and Season 2 builds to the overarching story of the whole show in Season 3, where it hits its stride. Glee - I'm sure you've watched it. Start with season 1. It's entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 If you want to see some of those Korea-produced tv drama series that have English subtitles, there is a site called mysoju.com. Never mind that the name is of a strong alcoholic beverage, it has those dramas for online viewing and is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatgirl1985 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thank you for the suggestions! I will check them all out! PrisonChaplain, I've been watching a few Korean dramas on mysoju. I like The Coffee Shop Prince. I find that Korean TV shows are VERY tame and full of DRAMA. There is even a Korean drama that is a lot like 24 in the U.S. It involves a South Korean secret agent being sought by North Korean spies. I've heard good things about Off The Map. I'll try to watch it this weekend. I really appreciate the recommendations! Have a great weekend, guys! ~Meghan~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Movies (my favorites this year): Tangled How to Train Your Dragon Toy Story 3 Yeah, they're all animation. But, the non-animated ones are blah this year. Okay, non-animated ones: Inception Ironman 2 Alice in Wonderland And for TV Shows - this one has been from a few years back - so you're probably gonna catch this on DVD or reruns in Nickelodeon: Avatar the Last Airbender (ok, it's animation too - but it's really cool). A good one still running: Clone Wars (ok, another animation) Top Shot (reality show about multi-weapon sharp shooters - I really liked this for some reason) Dancing With The Stars - I was soo on my feet about Jennifer Gray (Baby in Dirty Dancing) And if you're into Martial Arts: Grandmaster Ip Man - this one has some broken bone violence and world war 2 violence (it's a mostly-true story about Bruce Lee's mentor).

Maureen Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 TV shows I recommend:Supernatural, The Good Wife, Fringe (S3 is really good so far), Bones, Masterpiece Classics (if you like period pieces, MC has some really good choices, a recent one is Downton Abbey, there's also Cranford and Return to Cranford). The really good sitcoms are The Big Bang Theory and Outsourced.Movies I recommend are:Stranger than Fiction, Lars and the real Girl, District 9, Star Trek (the newest one).Have fun watching!M.

My favs are: Sanctuary, Eureka, Warehouse 13 & Caprica. They are very well done, excellent action scenes, & very captivating. I don't watch regular TV very much as there is not much that I find worthwhile to watch. I have found that cable channels offer better shows than regular TV.

thatgirl1985 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Thank you everyone! I've got a great list going : ) I love all those sci-fi shows. Good stuff.

UrbanFool Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 If you can get Netflix, it is totally worth it to get the entire X-Files series, Buffy & Angel, Stargate Atlantis, and many others. I know Lost is unavailable for streaming video, and some others I'd like to see, but I think it's a matter of time before everything is available for streaming.

Jason_J Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Shows I've been watching recently: Fringe, Glee, Nikita, Hawaii Five-O, Rizzoli and Isles, Eureka, Merlin, V, Legend of the Seeker (canceled, but I like it, and you can watch on Hulu), Bones, The Event, and Human Target.

findingmyway Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 So many shows to watch...... you wont have time to watch them all. Just focus on the important things i.e Bones, Eureka and also Mentalist. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Second "Big Bang Theory" (but I was an undergrad at CalTech and am therefore biased).One I've been enjoying lately is "The Guild", which you can also catch at YouTube and Netflix.

UrbanFool Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Lost 1-6 is available for internet streaming or network (DVD player streaming for Netflix capable DVD machines)Awesome. It must have recently become available. I just finished Season 2 of Dollhouse, Pillars of the Earth, and I'm watching Season 1 of Heroes now. I've missed all kinds of stuff in the past several years. I think Joss Whedon is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I've heard good things about The Guild. If I recall correctly, it's a web series, so it's only available online, right?Nope. You can get the earlier seasons as DVDs from Netflix. (Let's see if I can come up with a link.) In fact, you can get all four seasons on DVD. First three seasons you can stream on Netflix (one stream per season; no repeating titles or credits). Fourth season is "Very long wait" for the DVD, so I watched it on-line at the official site.So, I'm a fan. Where were the Felicia Days (double major in Math and Violin Performance) when I was getting my degree in English with double minors in Math and Physics? Fifty years too late.
