Aside from The Sopranos, The West Wing, Nevermind The Buzzcocks and Room 101 can someone suggest something decent to watch on tv?

Preferably something which doesn't involve cliched murders and that isn't made for old biddies.

Something like North Square or The Cops'd be good, is there anything like that on television anymore or is it just programs featuring a collection of PC demographic loser characters with about as much depth as a cornflake?

Don't suggest any of the latest 'appeal to teens' buffy-type crap. Don't suggest any soaps of any sort. Don't suggest anything to do with buying/developing/selling/painting houses/people/pets.

So people: DECENT tv suggestions, lets have 'em.

Coupling's AWFUL.


Last night I managed to find Line of Fire (E4) and Kings of Comedy. Whoever came up with the kings of comedy idea should be shot as anyone knows that most moedians are miserable sods when not on stage as they live for the on stage rush.

So we get 5 mins of funny-ish stuff and 25 mins of people moping about their performance and being about as interesting and full of life as soggy cardboard.

SO bad it's somehow watchable, a bit like the first few episodes of Millennium.

Without A Trace was good at the start of the series. Although now it's a little rubbish.

Arrested Development tomorrow night on BBC2 is very good.

Would suggest Coupling, but it's not on now....

Watch any episode from the first 3 dvd's if you can though. Genius.

You should also watch The O.C, Smallville and Stargate SG-1.

When the Simpsons come onto Channel 4, that should be good. It's a new series (well, unless you've seen it on Sky One already)
