Jenny in Florida Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I'm specifically looking for something to watch online, either Netflix streaming or maybe on the show's website. I've pretty much exhausted everything I've been enjoying. Things I've loved (or liked a lot): Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel Firefly (Tried Dollhouse, but found it just okay.) Various flavors of Star Trek Glee Chuck Psych Monk The Vampire Diaries (I know, guilty pleasure.) Greek (Embarrassing but true.) 30 Rock Weeds My Fair Wedding Say Yes to the Dress History Detectives Leverage True Blood (Sort of.) Lost (I enjoyed the first couple of seasons and then lost interest.) Things I'm trying out this season that seem promising: Grimm Once Upon a Time Things folks sometimes suggest that just don't float my boat: Warehouse 13 Fringe Burn Notice Castle Bones House Scrubs The Office Big Bang Theory (Really hate this one.) Battlestar Gallactica Stargate The Mentalist Doctor Who (Sorry, everyone.) I go through phases when what I really, really want to watch is something episodic, and I'm in that zone now. But I'm having trouble finding anything that works. We got rid of Netflix disc service a couple of months ago. So, I'm stuck with streaming nowadays. I guess what I like most is a well-written, witty dramedy with a supernatural or fantasy element. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions, because I'm stumped. Thanks!

PhotoGal Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Have you tried The Dead Zone? All of the episodes are on Netflix streaming. I've almost worked my way through them all. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silliness7 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Last night I started watching Terra Nova on Hulu. I really liked it. I'm about to catch another episode while I print out some WWS samples. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret in GA Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Vampire Diaries?? I know, I know--it's so adolescent. I feel so ashamed. But, I love it. Margaret Editing: I see you have it in your list. Ha! I looked twice to see if it was there and didn't see it. In that case, I second Mad Men. It's awesome.

Annie Laurie Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 In that case, I second Mad Men. It's awesome. And I will add a third. It does not have a supernatural or fantasy element. It has style, drama, wit, interesting story lines, and did I say style? It's eye candy if you like 1960s fashion and design, and actors who look like Grace Kelly and Cary Grant.

Desert Rat Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I didn't see Supernatural on your list. It's my favorite. Many cast members from Buffy have made guest appearances, a couple episodes ago Cordelia and Spike were visitors. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytwomonkeys Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 i like a lot of the same shows as you (including vampire diaries:o). on netflix, i really like drop dead diva (they just added season 2, so i can't wait to watch that!) on hulu, i've been enjoying new girl. it's a little dumb, but picture seinfeld and how i met your mother having a baby - that's new girl.

cheryl h Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I am watching a Netflix instant streaming show called Survivors. It's not Survivor, like with Jeff Probst and tribal council, but is a British show about a modern times flu epidemic gone bad. It has twelve 50 minute episodes. I like it.
