Hi, im sketch and i'm a dramaholic. It's been 2 days since my last drama. I work from home and in the afternoons, half watch T.V. while im working. It helps speed up the day and occasionally sparks some extra creativity. Lately i've been watching american drama's online as it's the only stuff i really get into. If you watch 3-4 hours a day over 6 months or so (remember it's while im working, not T.V. bingeing(sp?)), you get through them pretty quick, and i find myself in the horrifying situation of being up to date on pretty much all of them!  I refuse to watch random boring T.V. and after 2 days of listening to the radio, you've heard every song 5 times. I call upon you lovely people to help me find undiscovered drama's to make my working life more interesting! Here is my (incredibly shocking) drama resume. Prison Break Lost Heroes The Wire Californacation Entourage House Life on Mars Dexter (easily the best ever) Greys anatomy 24 Weeds Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles There must be some equally epic series floating around that i have not discovered yet, bearing in mind im not so interested in the sitcoms... any suggestions??

Wow!
I'm an American and I've never seen any of those! lol
Let's see,
Oz -it's a prison show. I saw two episodes and they were both really good.
I personally love
The Closer Saving Grace
I'm more of a sci-fi person so the rest I'll not get into unless you really like talking to ghosts and/or watching vampire dramas. lol

It's a few years old, and they only ever made 14 episodes, but Firefly is totally amazing. They made a movie of it too, Serenity, which also rocks completely.

Firefly - Shiney!
I loved that show! I keep hoping someone will bring it back, but it's not likely to happen after so long.
Has any one else noticed how Nathan Fillon has bad luck with shows?

Check out the show Jericho. the first season is all online and can be viewed. It was cancelled after the first season but the fans helped bring it back....i think the second season is currently airing.

Don't forget Firefly also has a graphic novel that actually connects what happened at the end of the "series" to the movie. Yes, I must agree, Firefly =

Pele, If you're into RP at all, you should check out the Serenity RPG. My old man and a couple of our friends gave it a whirl and really liked it. We decided to dress as our characters for fun and took pictures. I had a few choice chinese curses memorized at the time too. Gone and forgot them all now, though. I'll have to check the book...

Okay.... Cold Case Without a Trace Shark Criminal Minds Supernatural ...and NCIS and House have already been mentioned... I'm waiting for new episodes, too...*giggle* Oooh...and there's always the old Highlander series...all of it is posted on tvlinks.com...altho it was actually Canadian, instead of American... Rougie, Veronica Mars is actually pretty good...I watched it for a while, but then just kind of lost interest...had other things to think of...and to occupy my time...

Ye, but you have a computer...I haven't turned my tv on in months...
What kind of books do you like, Ed? I might be able to give you some good titles to try.
