    i don't watch anything on tv I just download stuff. looking for some new shows.

    just finished with Breaking Bad, currently watching Mad Men. Love David Simon stuff (Treme/Wire) and I downloaded a mini series of his called the corner. Looking for full seasons of stuff. I am actually outside of the states so I am sure I have missed some stuff in the last 3 years or so.

    The League- May be one of the funniest shows I've seen. I love it.
    Wilfred- Not sure, I've never seen the Aussie version, but the American version is entertaining.

    On a related note, ever seen the British version of The Office? Only two seasons long, but a great watch.

    I tried the british version of the office but couldnt get into it. I am a huge fan of documentaries and interview type shows and I watch a lot of Inside the Actors Studio. Some really great interviews on that show

    I will check out The League. What about Southbound and out/down or whatever...is it worth a watch?

    Eastbound and down had a solid first season, mediocre 2nd season overall (some hilarious parts, but didn't quite live up to the first season), and I've yet to see the third season.

    Curb Your Enthusiasm is a great HBO comedy.

    The League is hilarious.

    Another one, my son (14), brought up to me was The Inbewtweeners. Believe it's on MTV and hilarious too. Bunch HS misfits trying to make it.

    Arrested Development is an amazing show that got cut short way too early.

    Super serious fantasy football doesn't really appeal to me, but the show it still very funny.
