spartacus dexter are in the same rank
I've not seen Modern Family, but it looks like typical American sitcom crap.
It's actually pretty good! The writing makes it for me. Much like Arrested Development, you pick up on new gags on the second viewing.
As for Dexter, I'd quit watching after 4 seasons; anything after that was awful overkill. The show's ending was god awful.
modern family does not compare to AD. AD was much, much more clever in the way it lampooned everything.
the most recent "gag" that had my eyes rolling was when cam and mitchell were going to get married, and neither party knew who or how to propose.. when all of a sudden they get a flat tire and both guys are kneeling.
I'm not sure if it's been said but I've been enjoying "the walking dead".

Is the UK version of the office as good as the US?
Depends whether you're American or British or whether you prefer British or American comedy?
Or wether you're a comedypleb or not. The British version is far superior. There's more laughs in one episode on UK office than there is in an entire season of the US version. The two versions are completely different sorts of humour. There's no subtlety with the American version, and the laughs are few and far between. They went for quantity not quality and stretched it out far too long.
sometimes it just feels like the characters are just trying too hard to rouse laughter out of you. another show that reminds me of this is modern family. the jokes/gags are like devices. it doesn't feel like natural comedy, but that's just my taste.

btw while i like ricky gervais, i think his style of comedy (and stephen merchant too) doesn't suit my tastes. it's a bit too tryhard.. although awkward humor can be good. i don't like "hello ladies" all that much. karl pilkington is probably the most entertaining of the 3.
The Office will always be the greatest sitcom of all time to me. Nothing comes close. Karl Pilkington is hilarious. Hello Ladies is shite. Merchant is nothing without Gervais.
well i have to say.. the UK version of the office was better than the U.S. version. the funniest thing ricky gervais has ever been involved in, in my opinion, is this clip right here. i laughed so hard watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKTh7zBIcrM
but i also found life's too short a bit too tryhard for my taste.
What do you mean by tryhard? Life's Too Short was alright. Few laughs. But yeah, that clip was great. Have you seen the outtakes of that Liam Neeson scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lldrizLu_d8 (starts at 5:33).
Gervais: *tring*
Neeson: We're closed
I've got full-blown AIDS.
Anyone like True Blood? I thought I wouldn't like it and was gonna be like crappy Twilight or something, but I was quite suprised. I'm on season 6 at the moment.
Thought the first couple of seasons were good, but it dropped off after with all the other supernatural beings and Vampire Bill going a bit evil.

now the one series that makes me laugh uncontrollably is eastbound and down. kenny fucking powers is ridiculously funny. it's stupid and over the top, but i don't give a shit. do brits enjoy eastbound and down, or is it too quintessentially american for you?
I haven't seen Eastbound and Down, but I've got the first two seasons downloaded. I'll give it a go sometime.
Weeds maybe?
I found Weeds to be a bit silly and unexciting. It's like Desperate Housewives but with, erm, Weed.
I agree. I watched the first two seasons and gave up as it was just to far-fetched to me. I always found it weird how Celia's eldest daughter just disappeared after a few episodes in the first season with no real explanation.

same.. but marie louise parker kept me tuning in for 2 seasons. ultimate hot milf
Yeah, she is quite lovely.

I am thinking I might try watching Weed, but maybe after something else. Too much drugs.
I tried to watch Prison Break from esp 1. I just can't get back into it, because I have seen season 1 many years ago.
I think I might just have to force myself to watch The Wire again. So many of you said it is good. There is a lot going on. Maybe that is why I didn't managed to get into it.
I like Person of Interest but it haven't finished yet. So waiting until it is finish. I might give Dexter a go later. I have seen up to season 2 before. Dexter is good. I hated watching films with lots of gore and blood. But after watching Dexter, I have overcome this fear.
