@sheliathetank I love call the midwife... I think that belongs in the hidden gems category... I like bad drama aimed at teenage girls (Vampire Diaries, PLL, even Gilmore Girls although I think that's not "bad" the way the others are, cartoon comedies (South Park, Bob's Rick and Morty), and Sci fi type drama... I also really don't like This is Us. I really hate Sex in the City, like so so much... that's probably the most popular show I can't stand... Hidden gems: if you like sci fi; bitten (although the first season is by far the best then it eats kinda weird). Being Human, I prefer the US version but there is a British version too... I think this is probably the greatest show to ever air on the SyFy channel. Both are on Netflix and Being Human has like 6 seasons so it will take awhile! Doesn't help @sheliathetank but Rick and Morty is amazing. Have you seen Degrassi? Now that is a bad drama aimed at teens. Fucked up cartoon comedies: Aqua Teen Hunger Force and all it's spin offs, Shin Chan, Oblongs, Morel Orel. I just finished bingewatching F is for Family. That's on Netflix and is along the lines of BoJack Horseman. I haven't seen Bitten but it reminds me of True Blood. I hate watched that show after season 1. I could use a good hate watch.

4) Any show you just can't stand/could not get into? Most comedies on TV don't interest me. I don't get the love for This Is Us either. Do you like emotional shows? That's why I love This is Us so much, and shows like Parenthood. I love feeling lots of emotions. +1 to not liking This is Us. I saw the 1st episode and it was depressing. I don't like shows that are too sad.

sheilathetank, Judd Apatow had a couple of shows that never made it past 1 season, but I still really enjoyed them - Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared. I also like Children's Hospital on Adult Swim.

I remember watching f&g when it originally aired on what I think was the WB back then. I've watched Children's hospital a couple of times and couldn't get into it.

Oh and if you have ever been a fan of metal, metalcore, nu metal, rock or heck even just listed to mainstream alternative you NEED to watch Metalocalypse. That show KILLS me.

littleliverpill, See. I knew I liked you. Seconding Broadchurch. So freaking good. sheilathetank, Hidden Gems: Better Off Ted- Older, only one season, but hilarious. Trial and Error- I don't hear anyone talk about this. DH and I came across it and John Lithgow is great in it. Freaks and Geeks- One of my faves. Also, I haven't seen Metalocalypse in forever! DH and I "saw" them in concert several years ago. It was the characters on a giant screen with the band on the stage below. Super fun!

I watched that when I was young. Lol Drake... when I was on Birth Right (free trip to Israel for Jewish late teens/early 20s) I ran into Paige and my friends and I like chased her around a night club and were real awkward. Lol. She was nice though.

Does anyone else get excited when they find out:see ppl you liked from old shows on new ones?
Last night H told me that Red from OITNB is Captain Janeway (how did I not see that!?) and then today I realized Logan from Veronica Mars (which everyone should watch) is now in izombie (another good show to watch)

The best is that the lead singer Brendan Small looks like a normal dude ready to drop his kids off at school. It was one of the best concerts. I saw them in Florida in 2009.

jewel Logan is in izombie?!?!?! I've watched the first season and liked it but haven't caught up. Must do that immediately. sheilathetank Dark Angel is good. Jessica Alba stars and Michael Weatherly and Jensen Ackles are both in it. It's only two seasons though and ends on a cliff hanger. It got cancelled for, of all things, Firefly. I also never hear anyone talk about Greek which is excellent or Merlin which feels quite a bit like Doctor Who but...you know....with King Arthur and Merlin.

Like, he could legit be driving a minivan! We saw them in Philly (I think in 2009??) I'm glad you got to go to the concert, but equally glad because usually I say that and people are like "Uh... so you know they're cartoons, right?" I always feel a little crazy 😂

Don't know if counts as a hidden gem or, but I thought The Knick was really really good.
Currently also hate watching Designated Survivor, which I'd say is the exact opposite of a hidden gem (so a blatant pebble? Is a pebble the opposite of a gem??? Hmmmm). The dialogue is just so unbelievably bad IMO, very poorly written. Yet I can't look away so...

1) What is your top show of all time? Choose 1! I think it's a tie between The Office and Arrested Development. I rewatch those shows all the time. 2) Last show you binge watched? The Office. 3) What is your favorite show that currently airs? The Leftovers (even though it just ended). 4) Any show you just can't stand/could not get into? The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Seinfeld. Sex and the City. 5) Biggest show crush of all time? Pics please! Khal Drogo/Jason Momoa from GOT. Also shananagins +1 for Justin Theroux. That's a great pic of him. Also +1 for Don Draper whoever said him. As for hidden gem shows - +1 for Broadchurch, and I think the Leftovers kind of counts. I don't know many people that watched it but it was so good.

He just came on like halfway through this season... definitely catch up! This season will be on Netflix soon... CW has a deal with them and the shows go on Netflix like 5 days after the finale which I think is next week, but not 100%z Love Dark Angel! It's like 50% of the reason my kid is in Honest diapers. Lol.

jewel I really like The CW. I feel like they give their shows good chances to grow before cancelling them. We watch almost every program they currently air.

It's like a ratings tracker, renew/cancel predictor blog... they did a whole article about how this Netflix deal has enabled the CW to do that and it's really made their programming better! I really love Reign and I'm sad that's ending... I hope Adelaide Cane (I think that's her name) gets more work after I think she is really good even though the acting on that show is not the best... I watch a bunch of their stuff but I'm not into the super hero stuff.

I don't like it when shows are cancelled prematurely but at the same time some shows DRAG. Such as HIMYM. Big Bang is getting there. I lose interest, I need to know the end sooner than later.

1) What is your top show of all time? Choose 1! Home Movies 2) Last show you binge watched? Currently watching How I Met Your Mother. I'm on season 5 and it could have definitely been over in 4 seasons. I just checked and there are 9 seasons and I can't imagine what even happens for the next million episodes... 3) What is your favorite show that currently airs? The Handmaid's Tale 4) Any show you just can't stand/could not get into? I want to like The Walking Dead but it stressed me out and annoyed me at the same time. 5) Biggest show crush of all time? Pics please! Angel. Yum.
