and Naruto Shinppuuden (I've read the manga, so I cant see any possible reason for me to miss an episode
)
Quoted for idiocy.
[1] Law & Order: CI
Great show; I love the lead character, Goren. Vincent D'Onofrio does a great job portraying the character. He's one of my favorite actors, too. Think of CI as a modern age Sherlock Holmes; CI is more of a psychological show than an action-bullet-war between cops and badguys, and there are rarely court scenes, which is sometimes a plus for me. As most L&O shows, it gets boring after watching enough episodes, though, as it becomes predictable and repetitive.
[2] Law & Order: SVU
Also a great show; different & larger cast of characters, which helps the interest levels a little. Good suspense.
[3] Monk
I used to think this show was boring, but I sat down one day and watched a full episode and it really reeled me in. It's a great show. Check it out!
[4] House
I used to watch this show all the time. It really keeps you on edge. Hugh Laurie is excellent. I've always enjoyed him as an actor, but in this role he really shines...
[5] Vanished
I watched the first season's two episodes or so, and it was pretty good. I liked the acting.
I would suggest Dog the Bounty Hunter, or American Chopper, but the shows aren't about acting or fictional stories, and a majority of viewers prefer the sci-fi, fictional, action, suspense and drama approach at entertainment.
I'll also throw out, that you don't need to be a woman to enjoy Sex and the City. Some of the woman in it are... so good looking. And you can see them nude on a number of occasions. Good stuff.
I never watched much of Lost, Without a Trace, 24, Heroes, and about 10 dozen more [lol], but I'll get around to it sometime.
