re: Series for my wife and I to watch. Movie or TV. Either Or

Wayward Pines (started last week)
Fargo (2nd season starts this fall)
America's Got Talent

Can't go wrong with these oldies:

The Honeymooners
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Andy Griffith
Twilight Zone
Newhart
Carol Burnett
Seinfeld
Everybody Loves Raymond

The Good Wife. If you can get over the title.

Justified. Women love Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens.

Also try Burn Notice but stop watching when the storyline gets too serious.

Psych
House of Cards

I am currently going through Criminal Minds and enjoying it.

Episodes on showtime is pretty freaking funny.

quote:

---

LOST
Breaking Bad
GOT (my favorite, she doesn't care for it)
Suits
Entourage
Pretty Little Liars (not my choice, but she likes it)

---

Dexter, The Wire as were mentioned.

I also suggest Battlestar Galactica (2004). My wife is not into Sci-Fi, but she enjoyed this show almost as much as I did. I know other couples that loved this show as well. It's a drama set in space - politics, love, sex, religion, battles, etc. It has strong female characters as well.

If you're looking for something comedic:
Parks and Rec (mentioned, give it into S2, some of the best characters ever created).
Better Off Ted (2 seasons only, but well worth it).
Arrested Development (often a recommendation of here, once you're into the characters, hilarious).

Psych
Sons of Anarchy
The Americans
Royal Pains
Entourage
Justified
