What TV Shows Should I Watch via Netflix?

I'm just finishing Six Feet Under. I like finding shows, like SFU, where entire series are available on DVD so I can obsess and then have some closure at the end. I've watched season 1 of Dexter and I have season 1 of Torchwood on its way. I'm not sure about Torchwood, I saw a clip of it on YouTube and thought I'd like it.
Likes: compelling characters
Dislikes: situational comedies
Any suggestions for other shows that are on DVD?
Veronica Mars is ALWAYS great. Make sure you start with Season 1.
The Wire!
LOL, I read the thread topic and was about to recommend Six Feet Under. Nevermind.
What else . . . I definitley second Gilmore Girls. And one of my favorite shows of all time was Arrested Development. I've been meaning to order that one off Netflix, too.
DR and i have been working our way though the sapranos. YIKES! its surprisingly good.
;)b sopranos was soo good, i didnt want it to end.
Dr. Katz, professional therapist. :-D :-D :-D :-D I had to just buy the whole collection. its hilarious!!!
I've watched the first four episodes of Torchwood. I like it. It's like Men In Black. ;)b
I've begun watching Weeds online. i don't know yet. I'm on the second episode. Hopefully there'll be more character development.
you probably wouldn't like gilmore girls.
it was an obsession of mine.
Me too, such a cute show!
For net-flix viewing, I'm a big fan of Lost, Buffy, Angel, Fire Fly (just a bit of a Whedon fan!!). Then there's X-Files, Big Love, and I third the Weeds recs.... It is more of a "dramedy" than a sit-com (Widow who turns to drug dealing to support family, not much of a sit-com type)....
OOoooooohhhhh, X-files. Did you hear there is a new x-files movie coming out! I'll be there on opening night ;)b
Personally I like "Rescue Me" (the Dennis Leary firefigher series with lots of hot hunks in uniform >:D. Season 4 just out on DVD) and "Sex and the City".....
What about The Office? Does that classify as a sitcom? I think it's hilarious and we own all of the DVDs. Give it a shot! You have to watch a few episodes to enjoy the humor, but once you do, oh man...it's great :)>>>
I say get started on Buffy ASAP! It's my all time favorite show. My afternoon ritual is getting my daughter down for her nap (snugging together on the couch) and eating 2 pieces of yummy bitter sweet German chocolate while watching Buffy reruns. I just saw the Dracula one today. ;)b
I hear Carnivale is a good one to get into.
the office or southpark :P i'm weird like that.
This is just about all I really watch on tv.
I really like The Closer, not sure if its on dvd though
the office or southpark :P i'm weird like that.
This is just about all I really watch on tv.
me too! i always look for it "ondemand". i have comcast.... but omg! ck, have you ever seen the british office?
I've seen a few episodes of it, but I think the American version is better. I think it's because Steve Carrell is ridiculous and the British boss is just a straight up asshole. I did like the part in the British version when they were doing muhnamuhna (<---spelling?) from the Muppets.
British comedies I will watch:
Black Adder
Mr. Bean
Monty Python
Are You Being Served?
Keeping Up Appearances
It seems like there should be something else, but I can't think of it.
Not British related, but I wish the State would come out on DVD already.
Star Trek The Next Generation!
But I am a geek and pround of it! http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-640.gif
I love Kids in the Hall.
the office or southpark :P i'm weird like that.
don't spend money on southpark

'Chef' is a hugely funny British comedy and the complete series is on DVD.
I am stoked to see the complete series of 'Get Smart' is available with Time Life. I was a huge fan.
I'm caught up on The Office. Well, not completely. I wait for a season to be out on DVD. I don't know if it's on NBC.com, but my computer buffers a lot when I try to watch anything off there.
I wish soaps were on DVD. I'd be all over Hollyoaks - another type of show that is completely unlike me, but I like anyway.
