I had The Wire queued up for months
waiting for Mark, and when finally put it on, I couldn't understand a single word. After 20 min of the first episode I had to give up.

If you like more light hearted stuff, I'd recommend Chuck and Bones

I don't mind the light hearted
I want to watch something in an English that I can understand, basically.

In that case I'd avoid Bones, full of body parts and nonsense
Chuck is genius though.

OK
I think House is just about my limit. I find it very difficult to follow when they're doing the differentials. I think I'm going to get it in Spanish.

I used sub-titles
purists may scoff but it removed a lot of ambiguity/confusion from the pretty intense plot.

Oh and the first 4 or so episodes I was very "meh" about, in fact I strongly disliked half the cast. But I perservered to the end of the first season, and it really was a cracking climax. OK so the first couple of episodes were boring, but it is a slow slow buildup which makes the ending so much more worthwhile.

From season 2 in every minute of every episode was a joy.

damn, that's how long I gave it, but I gave up.
I don't think you should have to waste 4 hours on a TV show for it to get good.

You do when it's that good.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:11, Reply)

It really is worth it
I can quite honestly say that I'll never watch another show that comes close. Can't recommend it highly enough.

These two are talking sense
Besides series one was great also. I loved the first 3 episodes, you get to know the characters.

You say that
And I believe you. I wasted 20 min, and was falling asleep on the sofa.

I gave it 5 episodes and then returned to season 6 of House
Hugh Laurie makes up for bad TV shows.

Yes he does
I'm in love with him. It's the way he's so mean and despite that, adorable. I don't know...

Any idea when the new season starts? Last chapter was superb.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 9:59, Reply)

No, I think season 6 only just finished airing in America so it won't be for a while.
Season 6 of Weeds is available now though, that's a great show. I'd definitely recommend it, I think you'll enjoy it.

I love House, think it's superb
But I've never considered getting any of them beyond the first series. It's great fun, and I'll enjoy watching every episode if it's on, but I just don't want it enough.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:06, Reply)

Season 6 is just fantastic
It's a big change too. I loved how it started and how it ended. I'm looking forward to the next one.

that's a shame
but they do say it's worth watching with the subtitles on just to pick up on everything plus you learn cool new words like 'hoppers' and '5 o'

After all that nonsense on Friday I spent 4 hours in the Dental Hospital saw three different dentists and had 5 x rays to be told that my wisdom tooth is sat on the nerve and they cant take it out yet. Gimps.

Ouch
Sorry about that. So, what are they going to do about it? Just leave it there?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 9:39, Reply)

well I have to go back and see another guy next week
apparently it's my choice though they just say I have a much higher chance of having temporary or permanent numbness in my lip. Which I don't really mind about really just want the tooth out now as I can't brush it properly. Who knows??
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 9:45, Reply)

I got temporary numbness in half or my lower lip
it took ages to get it back (more than a year), and it still feels a bit weird sometime. I wouldn't recommend it.

You can as well lose the hability to control it, and it'll be hanging like if you were silly, but that usually goes after some time (months)
