top 4 favorite show of all time for me.


I also know Scrubs is a show that has an almost cult-like following. Which would you prefer between scrubs and psych?

I've been enjoying Broadchurch

Both



Both are kind of a goofy type of comedy. Psych has a shite ton of pop culture references. Scrubs can hit you with some great drama and seriousness at times. Both feature the greatest bromances of all time.


ETA: as a counter to coco, I'll say that Scrubs is my favorite sitcom of all time. Its the only sitcom I've ever seen where you truly care about the characters and their stories. That's not to say that I didn't care about the characters in Psych, but I feel that Scrubs provided character depth that you normally don't see in comedies.

Scrubs just had an awesome run between seasons 2-6. I just rewatched them all and it felt like every episode I was thinking "Yes, this is a great episode"

You can't go wrong with either though. And if you do watch Psych and like it, I'd recommend Monk and White Collar as well.

Parks and Rec > The Office

I think I'll give Psych a try. 8 seasons at an hour long is pretty daunting, but it sounds intriguing.

Seriously, if you like 80s/90s pop culture bullshite at all, Psych is right up your alley.

If you aren't in love with it after a few episodes, then you'll know it isn't for you because it doesn't really change much. The first episode does a great job of explaining the main character (Shawn) and why he's good at what he does, and it just goes from there. FWIW, I expect you to like it.

I'll potentailly try to work a comedy (either psych or IASIP) in between GOT viewings. Definitely wanna watch GOT first though after hearing all the build up.

GoT is great, for sure. Protips for that show though:
1. Pay attention.
2. PAY ATTENTION. Especially after S1..the stories and plots get so spread out that it's difficult to keep up with everybody and everything that is going on. If you're not focused on the show 100%, you will miss some things and be confused (and will likely be like that at times even if you are paying attention).
3. Use subtitles. It helps TREMENDOUSLY.
4. Tread lightly when reading online things about it (not just this board). Spoilers are everywhere, and bookreaders love to spoil shite just to be assholes (thankfully there aren't many around here, but there are some). FB is bad with that while the show is airing. A fantastic site to use if you need some help is Game of Thrones Wiki. Note: do NOT use A Wiki of Fire and Ice, as it is book-info and spoiler heavy. Best thing to do is just google "game of thrones ______" and click the GoTWiki page. It does a great job of explaining things, and details only what's in the show with the exception at bottom of a "in the books" section that is easy to avoid.

I jumped on the GoT bandwagon right before S2, and it's great. Should end up being one of the GOATs as well. Also,

If I were you I wouldn't binge watch GOT. Spread it out so you finish season 4 right as season 5 starts so you don't have to wait

I surprisingly really like this show. Hopefully it doesn't get canceled and makes it 4-5 seasons.
