Posted: 10/6/06 at 6:54pmI don't have cable. But when I do a show and they give me housing, I get a chance to watch...so, I'll add to the Sex And The City love.

Posted: 10/6/06 at 7:11pmSex and the City will always be my favorite, but I love Rome, too. Where else can you get wonderful quotes such as "A large [male sex organ that will remain nameless so as not to get my post/the thread deleted] is always a welcome gift"?

Sex and the City was the most perfect show in my eyes. It will always be my favorite show that ever aired.
Next up in line from HBO is The Comeback, and from Showtime, Dead Like Me.

Six Feet Under.
Speaking of SFU, can I just share one of my biggest pet peeves? Being a poor recent college grad, I buy all of my DVDs previously viewed from rental places. I really HATE it when people buy one disc of a multi-disc series. If I go one more time and get all excited about seeing a stack of SFU DVDs only to realize that they all amount to two half picked over seasons, I'm just going to scream! I wish they'd just tie them together so people can't "taint" a season.

Carnivale had a great look & great cast
Problem is that is was so convoluted you could not understand half of what was going on
#17re: Name your favorite HBO/Showtime series.
Posted: 10/6/06 at 11:03pmSix Feet Under and Oz. We don't have HBO anymore, so no idea about current show.

My dad called Adrienne Barbeau, Adrienne Boobeau.
The only one I really make a point to watch is The L Word. I did love Six Feet Under and the early seasons of The Sopranos. Weeds is pretty good.

Yeah, you really had to pay attention. Season 1 was all exposition. They finally got it moving in Season 2, but it was too late.

Oz. I love that show.
And I don't watch anything on Showtime.
#21re: Name your favorite HBO/Showtime series.
Posted: 10/6/06 at 11:09pmOhhh, yeah. I forgot about Oz. Loved it. It's where everyone who is now on one of the Law and Order shows used to be employed.

Posted: 10/7/06 at 11:39pmSex and the City is on the top for me and not close behind would be Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Sopranos, and Entourage.
