stuff I should watch....

[Andy]

There are less and less things that I find watchable on TV.  What should I check out (casually watch) from the last 10 years of so?  I like both versions of The Office, 30 Rock, Spaced, Trailer Park Boys, Arrested Development, etc...

Extras?
Flight of the Conchords?
Anything that's not shit?

casual viewing, please.  nothing I have to pay too much attention to.

[Fido]

Destroyed In Seconds on the Discovery Channel.

You won't necessarily have to pay close attention, but if you're like me, you'll probably want to.

Saxondale is on dvd now.  It exceeded my expectations. 

[hugman]

comcast commercials.

Saxondale is on dvd now.  It exceeded my expectations. 

Speaking of that, I finally caught up with the first season of I'm Andy Partridge on dvd recently, and it now rates as the best sitcom ever made in my books.

So I'm pretty geared up to get on board the Saxondale bandwagon as well.

[hugman]

but seriously, folks, if you have ifc then watch IT Crowd. That show is dece.  
I thought the last season of Weeds was pretty kickass.
Battlestar Gallactica is a rollercoaster ride of greatness and laughableness.  Pyramid ball, anyone?
MadMen's good if you can handle snail pacing.
Who else thinks they threw the show bible right out the window with season 2 of FOTC to bad effect?
Excited for Eastbound and Down.

Yeah, Sean Coogan is the funniest.

I loved FOC Season 1 and this season has been just as funny except when they sing.

If you haven't already watched them ...

The IT Crowd (which airs weekly on IFC)

Summer Heights High (8 episodes of pure gold on HBO.  It's no longer available On Demand, but will probably be on DVD soon)

I'm also told that the precursor to SHH, known as "The Nominees" or "We Can Be Heroes" was pretty great too, though I have no idea how to find it in the States.  Haven't had much luck online, but a girl in Pennsylvania insists that it's brilliant.

Other than that, I am obligated (through friendship) to plug "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS, which I will admit, I do enjoy.

[orator]

It's not from the last ten years, but if you haven't you should most certainly check out The Larry Sanders Show. It holds up really well and it influenced things like The Office. I don't think most of the seasons are on DVD, but you can find every episode on youtube if you search larry01 larry02 etc.

 I'll second Black Books.

 And if you don't mind cartoons, Home Movies and The Venture Bros. are excellent.

[jbissell]

On the drama side of things, Friday Night Lights is really great.

[pinky]

You gotta watch Peep Show.  And to stick with the UK Comedy theme, Peter Kay did a 2 hour pisstake special of British Idol, Dancing on Ice, etc etc that is worth watching!!  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298641/
