What is everyones favourite TV shows that many people may not have heard of?

I love the Inbetweeners, UK show, 3 seasons + movie, currently being remade into american version (kind of like the office was), 4 teens in high school just getting up to silly things. One of the most amazing shows ive ever watched and anyone ive showed it to ends up enjoying it greatly.

Also, Archer (2009) Cartoon, in its 3rd season now, voice of Jon Benjamin as main character. Really witty but not for everyone, more adult/late teen humour than for the young ones.

While this one is newer and likely many have heard of it, I know most havnt watched it yet, and thats the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon, if you were into the movie you will enjoy the cartoon which expands on the story and because of it being a cartoon can do so much more! Love how he keeps all his mannerisms and all the original voices are there.

The League, absolutely terrific show, while its based on a group of friends who do NFL fantasy league the show is very watchable for those who dont like the NFL like myself. I suggest any and all males immediately go find a trailer/clip of the show and give it a shot.

Speaking of the BBC and the OFFICE I've come across another great show. IDIOT ABROAD is Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant sending poor Karl Pilkington on a tour around the world to visit the seven wonders of the world. Karl is like a real life Homer Simpson, the adventures he gets into on his travels are hilarious.

Yea that show is hilarious, the stuff they make Karl do along the path to what he sets out to do, and when he gets there its something else. Swim with the dolphins sounds nice....oh crap they sent me to swim with sharks.

I'm out of touch with what's popular, but Chelsea Lately is hilarious and I don't know anyone who watches it.

I like it... and Chelsea Handler has a small part. It's Laura Prepon (sp?) - Donna from That 70's Show who is the main character...

Without a doubt....best show on tv right now is
"Sherlock Holmes" BBC also 1st season on NETFLIX
2 seasons so far...only 3 episodes a season each 1 1/2 hours.
Done in present day London.

The lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch (Holmes) will also be the next villain of Star Trek. Unbelievable series...
And the best Criminal on tv James Moriarty, what a wack job!!!

BTW Chelsea is a talentless C... she blew the head of "E" to get the job.
She isn't funny and makes everyone else who is funny NOT.

Hell on Wheels. Pretty much anything on AMC. Walking dead, Mad Men.

I tried to get into Spartacus: Vengeance, but just doesn't seem the same without the original lead.

Anyone seen 2 Broke Girls. I think this show is absolutely hilarious.

Ive seen 2 Broke Girls, watchable, but I was hoping to find new shows that do not run on prime time on the main networks. Good ones that got away with only a season or 2 under them before ending, or so far.

AMC seems to be getting fairly main stream now, everyone talks about Walking Dead so id consider that mainstream at least, but I dislike zombies anyway. :)

Comic Book Men (AMC) is like comic book version of pawn stars with Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) interviews/podcasts with staff/friends. Interesting if your into Kevin Smith or just a comic book / action figure fan.

I have a weird obsession with cop/jail shows. Lots of them on A&E and TLC.

There's a new one one TLC that is from Discovery called First Week In. I caught a few episodes of it the other night--it's about people going to jail and what it is like their first week in. Going to court, trying to make phone calls, trying to get bail.

Also caught DUI--which is self explanatory I think--also very good.

A&E also shows Manhunters--but it hasn't been on for a while. It's about trying to catch felons who are all over the world. Also saw DEA the other day catching a bunch of drug smugglers.

The First 48, Beyond Scared Straight--both on A&E. The first is about trying to solve murders in the first 48 hours, the second about young kids who are 'bad' and they take them to jail to show them what it's like there. SOOO good to show teenagers in my opinion!

I like them all :)

Otherwise I constantly watch episodes of Big Bang Theory...can't get enough of it :)
