After running out of comedy shows we're bck running through scrubs again. It's still brilliant.

And Dexter. I remember talk of this but we're well into it now, just half way through season 1.

What are you watching from back in the day that's still good?

Penny Dreadful

Great, dark horror type series with multiple well known characters. Just finished Series 2, last series to do.

Just started watching Breaking Bad that leaves people frothing at their mouths anytime it is mentioned, but it is boring as hell. Meth cooking teacher and the storyline just drags and drags on. If this is an attempt to character build then either the characters are rubbish as I am not bonding with anyone even though they show a climatic start at each episode.
Same here. Watched 1.5 seasons. just seemed like a bloke doing stuff he didn't want to and continually trying to leave it all behind. I know people say 'it gets better' but it didn't after 1.5 seasons so I couldn't see any improvement being likely.

Walking dead was the same. Big social group and zombies wandering about everywhere. Fine for a film but 8 seasons?!!!

Quite enjoying The Sweeney and Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads.
I've watched a bit of the Likely lads recently too. It just doesn't seem funny. Maybe humour was different when I was 5?

Just start watching White Gold again (double glazing salesmen in the 1980s with two of the Inbetweeners).

I was meant to watch the second series (time share) but accidentally started watching the first and now am working my way back through it.

Started watching House with Hugh Laurie. So far it is excellent, his acidic wit is hilarious and it's a wonderfully un-PC series.
