    The Simple Life and that Sex and the City picture show is good watchin.
     
  3. Arrested Development, 30 Rock and Weeds are my favorite "new" shows that people have just turned me on to. You can watch all 53 eps of AD at hulu.com ... 30 Rock and Weeds are available via download. Actually Season 2 of 30Rock is on hulu, Season 1 you'll have to download ... some cool dude is putting up Weeds episodes for download within 24 hours of the new episode airing ... saves me having to buy Showtime. All three shows are smart, well-written and of course the acting is great. AD is my fave among the three. There are so many inside jokes, that you can watch an episode 3-4 times and pick up on gags you missed earlier ... that's my kind of show. 30 Rock has similar writing and Tina Fey is easy on the eyes, much the same way Mary-Louise Parker and Jenna Fischer are.

    Also a big fan of The Office, the Amazing Race and Real Time with Bill Maher.

    The Amazing Race = the only reality show worth watching. Seriously, it's awesome, especially if you like travel.

    I like Gilmore Girls, which is a really funny, snappy show, especially in Seasons 1-5, with a bunch of cultural references.

    Whose Line is it Anyway and the Carol Burnett Show are two old favorites.

    Yeah, the music licensing is likely what's holding up the release. It's the same reason that B&B, once it was released on video, had a lot of the original songs replaced. Getting the rights from ASCAP ain't cheap.

    I'll second the recommendation for Burn Notice. It's beautifully shot, funny, and the cast is terrific - especially Bruce Campbell.

    "Dream On," before it went to a network and got cleaned up. Funny, funny stuff.
