What TV shows are people watching?

I just started watching Lost from the beginning; never watched it when it aired on TV. That show gets me pretty hard.

So there's this show that was never shown in my country and unfortunately most of my fellow countrymen even when presented with it, don't get it. Not because the humor is so bizarre or the context is so alien (though it often is) - it's because there are no subtitles and very few know English well enough to actually understand what's being said there. Personally I love the soundtrack for it's ..don't know if that's the right word since it's a cartoon, authenticity. Like when people argue, they (as real folks do) all talk at the same time. When there's a fight - it sounds like a someone is shooting at monkeys with a machine gun. Add some background music and you get something that is close to impossible to comprehend for a foreigner.
What show am I talking about ? It's the one and only ... Venture Bros!
Any fans here ?

The soundtrack is done my one of my favorite musicians, JG Thirlwell. He does a lot of different stuff but if you dig his Venture Bros. work you might also enjoy the albums he releases under the name Steroid Maximus.

Yes sir. I love it. I'm still waiting for the next season. When are they supposed to be coming out with season 5? I hear practically no news about it at all.

No idea, but if they kill this show I'll find them. And they will suffer!
As for southpark - the last 2 seasons have been surprisingly good. The show was getting boring but then I think they realized they're not moving forward and .. well, they started moving forward

Modern Family is brilliant, also How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory right now.

Second episode? Jeez man, the first season's only 6 hours. Power through it all at once! I know, I know, you must be a busy dude, but ... hurry up!

I just got into Shameless (the Brit one) and it's surprisingly endearing. I didn't even know the US version was a lame ripoff 'til now.

Currently watching the new series of Misfits (series3) its awesome. Except Simon turns into a right creep when the creepy comic guy comes.
