Taste the soup of my brain! Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 612	If you haven't seen the NEW series of Doctor Who, I totally recommend it. It's quite awesome. BUUUUT... Other than that... You've seen pretty much all of my favorite shows. Flight of the Conchords, Eureka, The Mighty Boosh, Futurama, it's all there. I guess... If you like anime, theres two ongoing subs i've been watching: Ghost Hound (production IG, i think) and also Kaiji. Ghost Hound is about a bunch of seriously screwed up kids that can leave their bodies and go to the "unseen world". I have no idea what's going on, but it's great about character development. Sadly, there's very little action going on, and it's mostly about relationships between characters (not romantic relationships). It's actually quite good, and it is much better than it sounds. Kaiji is an anime about unorthodox gambling... and normally you gamble with your life. The first portion of it is called "Restricted Rock Paper Scissors", and if you lose the game you get sent to a forced labor camp for the rest of your life. And it's not about luck like normal Rock Paper Scissors... It's got strategy, because everyone has a finite amount of cards. Kaiji is also better than it sounds... Anyway, I'm not going to give direct links, but if you search "Kaiji", "Zawa Zawa", or "Ghost Hound" on google you'll probably find the fansub groups. Logged

Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall?

Crap - Wonder Showzen

Crap - Tim & Eric's Awesome Show: Great Job!
Mega Crap - The Sarah Silverman Program

However

Curb your enthusiasm - I am surprised that your taste of shows has not lead you to this show yet.

I'm not too into British comedies though, I like them but I haven't seen too many. Here are some great ones that I think you'll like: Angel Chuck Dexter Entourage The Inside Tru Calling Life On Mars Wonderfalls Dead Like Me Pushing Daisies Buffy The Vampire Slayer And in the way of anime (I don't care if you're not into anime, anyone can appreciate a great show): Gantz Trigun Berserk Cowboy Bebop Fullmetal Alchemist Neon Genesis Evangelion Other than those you seem to already watch all my favourite shows. Also, even though the pilot script is only being written right now, all signs point to Dollhouse being an amazing show. Look out for it towards the end of this year, or possibly the beginning of 2009. « Last Edit: February 21, 2008, 07:23:10 am by Racoon Boy » Logged

You put Doctor Who in your list - if you like the revived series of it, DEFINITELY watch Torchwood. I love Doctor Who to bits, but Torchwood is an order of magnitude better. Better comedy, better drama, better sci-fi. The first series of it was GOOD (but mishmash), and the new series is INCREDIBLE. Check it out if you can.

Also, That Mitchell And Webb Look is like Peep Show split up into tiny, crazier, bite-sized moments. Great stuff.
