    Quite a few series coming to an end recently actually.
    Reaper has also been cancelled, after 2 series.

    Shame about Earl, one of the more imaginative programs around.

    Yeah, also Prison Break ended, Heroes was already dead. :( I loved "My Name is Earl". How are those TV-Series called "The Office" (UK Version), I haven't seen them and I don't plan on watching the US version anyway.

    Also, could you please give me a good list of Series that I should watch?

    Currently I am watching:

    Heroes
    Prison Break
    The 4400
    Seinfeld
    Secret Diary of a Call Girl

    Was planning on Lost too.

    Heroes isn't ended now, is it? Surely they're going to squeeze at least one more season out of it?

    I haven't kept up with Prison Break (only watched the first few and then ... never ended up watching anymore. It's good though), but it's done now? That's sad to hear.

    And Earl? Well, it was OK. Not the best show around, but it was interesting. I'm kind of sad that it's been lost now, especially considering the way they ended the last season. It was actually starting to pick up speed again...

    Also, how could Earl fail being right next to The Office (a massive hit)? This is strange, you'd think it would have gotten on farther, being a time-slot hit alone.

    Prison Break got cancelled this season. Didn't hear that Heroes did.
    Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, Zohair? Thumbs up lad.

    The Office (UK) is okay actually, it's a very dry sense of humour, but Ricky Gervais pisses me off.

    Would advise something to watch, but I'm not really keeping up to date with anything at the moment. Intending to watch Lost up till the current series and catch up though so, go for that.

    And constant re-runs of Friends on E4 of course.

    What do you mean Earl failed being right next to The Office? I know both are great shows so yeah, I don't have a problem with both being on or off the list. BTW, MNIE (Earl) actually got boring when it got to Season 4 (well pretty much) and I think till the 22nd or something Episode, it wasn't being that much of a greatness. Maybe it got picked up after that but I never got a chance to watch it again.

    Of course mate, I'll start up on Friends and Lost then perhaps. Though I must suggest that you start watching Prison Break, I promise you won't be getting away from the tele anytime soon, it is that interesting!

    Thank you.

    I'm not actually a big tele watcher, I get in from college and Friends is on, every day, so it's kind of become a habit. After that I don't really bother unless there's something especially good on.

    Nip/tuck has been going down the shitter this last season. The whole cancer therapy and Christian no longer being a whore and the show taking a whole soap opera turn made it far less enjoyable. Makes perfect sense to discontinue the show.

    Regarding shows to watch --- House will be coming back in a couple of months, signed for a couple more seasons. Supernatural is pretty awesome, though its getting a little overly dramatic as well (I would recommend watching the older episodes before watching new one) - also coming back in a couple of months. Dexter is already showing its re-runs (they do this as a season per month interval, ie season 1 in june, season 2 in july, season 3 in august and then the new season in september). If you're into forensic stuff (like house) you could look into any of the CSI series (I enjoy NY the most - probably because it seems like the crimes are more grotesque).

    Regarding Earl - I watched the first episode up until right around when Earl gets out of jail. It never really had a huge interest for me, more or less just something to watch to pass the time.

    I'm on my way to start watching Supernatural now, a friend of mine told me about it earlier and now you so I will probably start watching it once I'm done with the few that I'm in the middle of. And I understand how Earl isn't any of your interest. I'd like to look into House as well but not sure if I will like it because I'm not into crime/drama thing.
