I Need Something New To Watch

I’m in the market for a new TV show. I have been watching Arrested Development for the past eight months and I’m starting to get sick of it. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve watched all three seasons in order at least twice (not to mention two or three times in America), and now I just pick a random episode from a random season when I want to “watch TV.” I like Arrested Development because it manages to be intelligent and hilarious at the same time. I want you people to suggest a new TV show for me to watch.

Here’s the criteria:

  • Must have at least three seasons (what good is a one-season TV show?)
  • No reality shows (Survivor, Dancing with stars, etc)
  • No CSI, sorry!

I don’t know much about TV shows current or past, but for some reason I think Gilmore Girls must be a good show, though I can’t say I’ve seen more than two episodes. Can anyone help me out?

In other news, I found a huge, hairy spider in my hallway today. My camera bit the dust so I don’t have a picture for you. I don’t know if we have tarantulas here, but this thing was so big and hairy that it gives me the willies just thinking about it, do you have a mental picture now?! I’ve dealt with several other spiders, a snake, and a scorpion, but this was just too much. I called the sisters in the convent and they sent their cook, Johnson, over to help me out. I’ve never seen such a nonchalant act of violence as the way this man stepped on this spider. Thanks, Johnson!

Update (9 pm): Merely one hour after the spider incident I found a huge snake ON TOP OF MY REFRIGERATOR. Johnson has gone home and I can’t just whack this snake like a spider. I may not survive this night. It was nice knowing all of you.

Update (10 pm): Chased the snake out of the house only to enter the kitchen some minutes later to find a rather large scorpion. Squished.

Update (next day, 4 pm): Dropped by the house on my way to the market and found the snake in the living room. The snake is now outside of the living room but missing its head.

  1. omg, it’s on it’s way! I am stopping by fry’s on the way home to buy some DVD’s to burn it on.. so far I have

    How I Met Your Mother, s01 – 3
    and a couple random movies

    I don’t really know what you like watching anymore since your MIA from the USA…. any shows’s you’ve seen on the internet you want?

    it’s gonna be a fat spindle of disks, hope you can play divx, h.264 etc… VLC your ass

  2. I’m sending you “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” straight away. No laugh track, like AD, but doesn’t build on each episode. It will change your life.

    Alan,

    I think you should try Scrubs. I like it because it is a half hour comedy that somewhat builds on itself, but is mostly hilarious once you get to know the characters. There are like, 10 seasons.

    If you dont like it, don’t judge.

    To sara, It’s always sunny in philly was a little hard for me to get into. i should try it again i guess.

    You should also own Stardust.

  4. scrubs, always sunny in philly, how i met your mother.

    VERONICA MARS. it’s intense, there are 3 seasons, but don’t bother too much with the 3rd. you will be sucked in. i brought it to lesotho and now have at least half the peace corps volunteers here addicted to it.

      Uh oh… that’s too bad. I hope what you’ve heard is correct. Season 4 was awesome and I can’t wait for season 5!
