    Narrow it down and make a poll
    How would it not? It gives him 20 different options.

        You'll thank me in the long run.
        If you pick either of those to continue, go with Dexter. It went downhill, but not as fast/bad as Weeds.

          I stopped watching Weeds after the youngest kid takes the golf club to the older woman.

          No need to pick that back up?

              great suggestions so far. go with shows with only one season so far (boss, game of thrones, homeland) move on to the two season shows (boardwalk empire) and then continue with multiple season shows (sons of anarchy, arrested development, justified). wait until you literally have seen all these to watch the shark-jumping series (dexter, weeds).

              but start with party down.

                  I've never been a Kelsey Grammer guy. Not Fraiser, not Cheers, not McHale's Navy... nothing he did worked for me.

                  And he is fantastic in this series, along with just about the entire cast.
                  Sounds awesome, I'll have to check that out after I'm done with The Wire.

                      After you finish, rewatch it again.

                        HBO should have picked up Party Down, that and Curb = If that shit was on another network people actually subscribed to it would have actually survived.

                          from what i've read, starz is committed to making series nowand boss looks to be their baby, i don'tthink it's going anywhere. from what i remember, starz brass love it, regardless of ratings.

                          and lack of longterm is a good thing. i don't want to see it in weeds/dexter territory

                            No it wouldn't have. People on that show got serious network gigs. You don't turn those down.

                                I seriously recommend everyone to watch, if you haven't already;

                                Breaking Bad
                                The Inbetweeners (English comedy, but not SHIT english comedy. more 'death at a funeral' style. hilarious show)
                                Arrested Development


                                On top of those 3 are the obvious; Seinfeld, Curb, The Office, The Simpsons old school
