If you like scifi
Stargate,
Farscape (Claudia Black, and Ben Browder before stargate)
Serenity-- Nathan Fillion pre Castle.

BBC America and most of the stream content outfits like Netflix have the previous seasons of Doctor who. My favorite is the 10th and 11th Doctor

Drama
I loved this one last month if you can find it online or BBC America reruns it don't miss.
Broadchurch which stars David Tennant (the 10th doctor who) is a BBC 8 episode who done it that recently aired on BBC America, it was really good, you never could guess who did it until the end (which I usually can with most crime shows).
Fox is doing a remake set for 2014 also with Tennant (Which may have a different name) sounds like they will do an ongoing series if it goes well, first bit will have the same writer as the BBC version. BBC is planning a new crime with the same detective but may recast if they can't get Tennant.

Does anyone remember the name of the BBC mystery series that the main character was a quirky antique dealer with an old friend called tinker. I watched one weak I was sick off work a few years back and don't remember the name.

Default Scandal

Just discovered Scandal on Netflix and really am enjoying the first 2 episodes. There are 29 of them in the season so that should keep us busy for a bit. A bit of a twist on the legal drama..

A few more recommendations, some are repeats from previous posters: The Sopranos, The Closer, Rescue Me, Major Crimes, The Good Wife, Rizzoli and Isles, Mad Men.

I have also been thinking about trying out the first season of Breaking Bad.

I recently watched all the Frazier shows-OMG I forgot how funny they were.

Another one I loved was Curb Your Enthusiasm

Long wait on Netflix for Breaking Bad. I'm on that long list.

Any ideas?
Stargate.

Have to switch to online. No waiting and every season is there except this past one.

We watched The West Wing earlier this year on Netflix. I think it was seven seasons. Very well done drama, even if you don't care for the politics. First season was before HD. Amazing to see that none of the arguments have changed that much in ten years.

If you liked Frazier, try Murphy Brown. Still as funny as it was.
