I made a post last week about shows we are currently watching or about to try. We also watch a lot of old shows on DVD/Streaming in the interim periods between the new ones. Here’s some shows we’re considering trying out. Anyone have any other recommendations or wish to put a vote on any of these?
Shows We’re Considering
I mentioned before I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and Solasta recently. This has gotten me into finally looking at the official 5E Dungeons and Dragons rules (just in time for the new revised rules Read more…
Recently, the miniatures game X-Wing was officially canceled. I played X-Wing for about a decade and it was my primary subject when I was writing for d20 Radio. So it was a bit of a Read more…
Seraph’s Bind is now available! Serene never trusted anyone before she met Noah. He accepted her and convinced the rest of the crew of Seraph to take her in. But now Noah’s dead, sacrificing himself to save Read more…

Deadwood is awesome. Very vulgar, though.
Big Bang Theory is a great show, especially for a geek like you.
Freaks and Geeks is good. Being an old man, you’ll get the references and enjoy it.
I watched a couple episodes of Parks and Recreation, after a suggestion from my cousin. I found it boring, tried hard to be funny, etc. Though, I think I recall you enjoyed the American Office? You might like it, as it seems to be similar to that humor.
Doctor Who seems to be hit or miss with people. I had a friend who loves Tom Baker and we watched his entire run. I haven’t gotten into the newer episodes, the low budget BBC style turns me off, but if you can get past that, you may like it.
The other shows I have never seen, so can’t comment on.
Suggestions:
Burn Notice – USA off-season show about a burned spy trying to clear his name. The show is formulaic, but its fun, and has Bruce Campbell!
Rome – HBO show, only two seasons. Excellent, though.
Dead Like Me – about a girl who dies and becomes a grim reaper. Despite the idea, it is a funny show, and it has Mandy Patinkin.
Caprica – can’t remember if you are a BSG fan or not. Add that if you haven’t. Anyways, Caprica is a spin-off set in the past of the BSG timeline. I’m sure you know of it, and may have seen it. I just started watching Season 1, so I can’t really say if it is good or bad, but it is interesting.

Oh, there is also Torchwood. It is a spin-off of Doctor Who. I don’t know much about it, though.

I’ve tried to get into Dr. Who. Everyone tells me it’s awesome, but I couldn’t get hooked.
Same thing with Big Bang Theory. Several people tell me to watch it. I’ve watched one, thought it was “okay”, but people keep telling me to that it’s still on the list.
Got into Rome based on Ca’lek’s recommendation during his “Rori” campaign, which he based on the show.
I’ve thought about Burn Notice. I’ll add that one to the list.
Enjoyed Dead Like Me. Watched the pilot of Caprica, just didn’t feel interested in continuing, was waiting to see if it got canceled. Now that it’s complete, might be worth giving another shot.
