    Are there any other good series out there?  I usually just watch half hour sitcoms.  I haven't really watched much TV in the last 10 years, and most of that was American Idol.  I don't normally watch political stuff, isn't that what The Good Wife is about?   Isn't Z Nation zombies?  I don't usually do zombies but I've watched the first episode of TWD and thought it was really good.  I like American Horror Story, too, the acting is top notch. 

For a 1/2 hour comedy try Blackish. I like Laurence Fishburne as Pops.
 
For a series try Lost Girl.   It is about a fey named Bo who finds out she is a succubus.

Z Nation is about zombies...It is more campy and humorous than the TWD.  TWD is, of course excellent and just keeps getting better the more you watch it.

Anyone catch the new Magicians show this week.  Didn't it remind you of Harry Potter, but with 20 year olds.

My sunday DVR taping of the X Files had 20 minutes of football. So, I missed out on the last 20 minutes of the show.     I hate when that happens.

suneshinej -- Ugh!  I wonder if my X FILES got messed up like yours.  Obviously I haven't watched it yet.  I LOVED NORTHERN EXPOSURE!  I have all the seasons on DVD (the first season came in a cute little parka with a working zipper).  My friend and I even visited Roslyn, Washington where it was filmed.  Had a blast.

Hi oscar

Great that you get the British stuff! A shame you don't still get Emmerdale. Thankfully I never got into Eastenders! I love Doc Martin and Last Tango in Halifax too. We have A Place to Call Home in the afternoon here too. I record it, it is very well done. I also liked The Doctor Blake Mysteries when they were on, took me 2 series to realise it was Craig McLachlan!!!

lilyr...How nice to have the Northern Exposure dvd set.  I keep waiting for Netflix to get that show so I can see it again.  I miss watching Dr. Joel, Marilyn, Ed, Ruthann, Maggie, Chris, Maurice, Holling & Shelly.  How lucky to get to see the place where it was filmed.

Your first XFiles show (the one that was on sunday) I wouldn't be surprised if the first half is football and you are missing the last half of the show. 

Oscar...I think you'll like The Magicians when you start watching it. 

I wish I could watch Downton Abbey...I guess I could rent it at the video store, but that seems a pain going back & forth all the time and probably costly.  I have seen Midsummer Murders and like that one.  Netflix has Rosemary & Thyme, but have yet to seen it.

Fudgechi...A show similar to Breaking Bad that is pretty good is Sons of Anarchy.
