Underrated/Lesser Known TV Series

[leviathanmisha]

Non of my friends have heard of Invader Zim, which angers me.

Wow, Invader Zim has it's own little cult over here.

Yes, it does. And that is one of my favorite parts of the Escapist.

Lol, I have a friend who has memorized almost everything that Gir has said, she often quotes him at random.

I'd do that, but my friends would just sit there with a dumb look on there face. I even have a shirt with him on it.


"WAFFLES"

We just laugh at her, cause we know what she's talking about, then we start to spout off our own quotes...cause we're cool like that. Oh, she would kill you for that shirt, I bought her a plushie last time I went to Chicago and she knocked my ass over.

I'd kill to have her as a friend.

But she's the one and only Hayley-chan...also you'd have to have a high tolerance for fangirling over Kyouya from Ouran...thankfully I have this tolerance and I also fangirl with her.

I have a friend like this. He is a huge fan of the office and of Halo 3. To hang out with him, you have to have a really high tolerance to bad jokes and arguments. I'm the only one thst has this.

Awesome, I could tolerate him...I have a boyfriend. lol.

Lol. He wins all of the arguments, only because he can put me in a arm lock.

My bf would like to think that wins all the arguments, but he has to admit that I do, cause I threaten to not buy him a PSN card or that new game he wants...works everytime!

You would Also win in a argument everytme against me apparently.

I just got mad skills like that...

It's pretty apparent that you do.

My bf just calls it the evil ways of women...

That is just too funny.

I get's funnier, cause he says that to me whenever our friends are around, and the majority of our friends are girls...many raised eyebrows.

either your bf is oblivious, are a comidic mastermind. It's your call.

I say oblivious, it took almost a whole year to realize that he liked me and it took him 6 years to admit that he had a crush on one of his friends.

Wow, 6 years? Is there a record for something like that?

I really don't know, but there probably is somewhere...lemme check the internet...it has all the answers.

Well, not all the answers. Get to specific, and You can get some weird things.

Yeah, I found that side of the internet before.../shivers/

Some of the stuff I find need more than just a shiver.

Well, I was on 7 chan recently and /b/ scared me. It was flashing bright colors and had falling penises

I'm just glad I've avoided #chan and /b/ in general. I've heard so much bad things about it.

You are one smart man...I only go onto 7chan these days to look for flash games and videos.

Have you noticed how far off-topic we've gotten? It went from Invader Zim, to Arguments, to 7chan. It's pretty weird.

Yeah, I noticed...that tends to happen with me some times.

Yup, same. Whenever I get qouted enough, me and the other person get off-topic somehow.

Maybe it's cause you can only talk about one thing for so long...topics can die pretty damn quickly.

That, and my mind can get off-topic really quickly.

You'd be surprised how fast my mind hits the gutter...it's a creepy insano-speed.

Yea, sometimes I'm speak non-sequitur, and it throws my friends off completly.

Yeah, my friends tell me that I have a 0.6 second turnaround time...I can't help that "over-encumbered" makes me chuckle...

Wait, your friends time you? I always de-reail the conversation when I see the best chance to do so.

They don't time me, they watch and see how long it takes for a dirty comment to find it's way out...and apparently, it doesn't take very long. And I also love to de-rail conversations...I get slapped my friends for it sometimes.

I didn't know we were talking about dirty comments. Those come out of me without knowing it.

I just turn everything into a dirty comment...it's a great talent of mine.

I just add "That's what she said" at the end of almost everything my friends say. Sometimes it is funny, other times it is makes no sense, which is still funny.

I often add "in the pants" to end of somethings...it gets really weird...

Whenever my friend reads a fortune cookie, I"ll add "In bed" when their done reading.

I've done that...I also enjoy reading dirty fanfiction, then explaining it to my friends in detail.

I never done that before, but me and my friends will always make sexual gestures to each other while we're talking.

I had to tell a friend of mine to shut up today cause she kept saying things and my mind kept turning them around...it was horrible..,

That sounds like a average get-together of my friends.

This involved my friend's skinny jeans...she had changed into her work clothes and a bunch of our guy friends took turns trying the jeans on...she now has the imprint of the penis of our friend Matt in her jeans.

I just cou;dn't stop laughing at this. The closest thing I've ever done to this is bring a pair of skinny jeans to a friends house for his birthday and told hin "If they fit, happy birthday. If not, then I have some cash." He said they didn't fit, but I think he was lying.

EDIT: YAY! My 500th post!

Lol...I had a friend like that...I told her to prove it, well...she got stuck in the jeans and we had to have someone cut her out of them...I ended up taking her out the next day cause I felt bad...then she turned around and stole my bf from me...

Ouch. One of my friends took my girlfriend from me a few years back. It's safe to say it sucked.

Yeah, but less than 6 months later, one of my ex's best friends asked me out...we're still together...and we started dating over 2 years ago.

That's good for you. I personally haven't dated since ny first girlfriend. I don't know why, but I have just avoided all of the drama that surrounds that.

There is way too much drama, but I kinda just ignored it...it gets old after a while.

There is way too much drama, but I kinda just ignored it...it gets old after a while.

There is even more drama in my case because my school is small, so everything is magnified, and people fiqure it out quicker. It is sooo annoying.

My school is pretty big, and shit still spreads like wildfire...maybe it's just teenagers in general.

 

[TxMxRonin]

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Arrested Development deserves more credit. I've also heard no one about Farscape here, not even when I was still around fellow nerds, but it's pretty damned good.

 

[Torque669]

Modern Toss. Check it out on 4OD. It's just a really sweary, crudely animated cartoon sketch show. Classic characters include Mr Tourettes, the French sign writer, and Space Arguement, about two astronauts on the moon ("How the fuck did you tread dog shit on the carpet?!") I can't find the words to do it justice. If you have a bizarre, rude and childish sense of humour, you'll love it.

That was made by same guy who did the cartoons in Nuts right? I was going to watch it once when it mentioned it in my magazine but was like Naaaaaah. I guess Ill give it a watch now thanks.

My favourite underrated show was Knightmare. I loved that show as a kid and almost nobody watched it. I hope to god the rumours are true about a new series.

 

[TheBlueRabbit]

The Prisoner(1967) starring Patrick McGoohan. Absolutely brilliant for its time. Wound up ordering the series from mail order.

 

[Horizontalvertigo]

Black Books is a god among T.V shows.
me and my mate were so inspired by Bernard's Tax return jacket, that we fashioned ourselves one for ourselves out of post it notes.
$9 for a thousand post it notes, 3 hours time, euals one epic jacket. Priceless.
by the way, just having a thousand post it notes is awesome in itself. If you're thinking why you would need a thousand post it notes, you obviously use them to make A JACKET. WHICH IS AWESOME. hahahaha

 

[fedpayne]

The Late Edition - UK's attempt at a 'Daily Show' I enjoyed it, but didn't get much publicity.

UK's attempt at... well I never.

Seems you need to be educated about a show called The Day Today.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

I still watch M*A*S*H which kids nowadays don't watch anymore. Old TV shows are awesome.

Ghost Hunters is pretty fun too, watching grown men get scared by noises of wood creaking, always funny.

Eureka is hilarious too, and not many people I know don't know it exists.

 

[TheZapper]

Peep Show- the funniest show out of britain in a very long time. It makes me angry to think that crap like My Family gets more viewers.

Psychoville- Brilliant and completely strange. Not one person I know has seen it.

The Wire-Probably the best TV show I have ever seen.

The Prisoner(1967) starring Patrick McGoohan. Absolutely brilliant for its time. Wound up ordering the series from mail order.

I may be wrong but aren't they planning a remake of that?

 

[SenseOfTumour]

The Late Edition - UK's attempt at a 'Daily Show' I enjoyed it, but didn't get much publicity.

UK's attempt at... well I never.

Seems you need to be educated about a show called The Day Today.

No, I own The Day Today, Brass Eye, and Jam, but the Late Edition really was much closer to The Daily Show, whereas The Day Today was a truly excellent satire on news TV.

Great to hear more people saw and enjoyed it tho

 

[RanD00M]

Well if you are not British you probably havent heard of

1. Spaced
2. Black Books
3. Peep Show
4. Life On Mars

Life On Mars and Peep Show both have american versions however i advise you to watch the British versions as they are far better.

But Life on Mars is so boring and it has nothing to do with mars.

 

[Rooster893]

I'll be the first to say these 2. The Young Ones and Malcolm in the Middle.

The young ones was a 70s BBC comedy show featuring 4 roommates, It was pretty damn funny.

Malcolm in The Middle was a late 90s/ early 00s starring Frankie Muniz and Jane Maczarek.

 

[theownerer]

FIREFLY best series ever made got cancelled for some stupid reason probly because they aired the episodes in completly random order seriously the last one that aired was the premier. If you liked the movie serenity definitly check it out its before the movie.

But Life on Mars is so boring and it has nothing to do with mars.

1. The title was taken from the David Bowie song Life on Mars.
2. Which version did you watch i found the American version incredibly boring, but i did rather like the British one.
