Finally finished Oz last night. It was a good series. Didn't care for the excessive amount of deaths in the story.

I think I will start watching Season 6 of Mad Men. Looks like I'm about 8-9 episodes behind.
Then I'll start Homicide - Life on the Streets.

I do want to enjoy spring but part of me can't wait for Boardwalk Empire (Sept?) & Breaking Bad (Aug) to start again.

X-Files season 4 is, so far, magnificent. Episode 4 takes place in my hometown, Traverse City, Michigan. It's also a fantastic episode written by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad. Episode 2 is terrifying and super dark. Either one would be a great introduction to the show, if you felt like jumping in in the middle somewhere

Been going through Stargate SG1 and Atlantis. Im in season 8 of SG1 and just about 10 eps into Season 1 of Atlantis. Atlantis seems pretty good but it feels like SG1 season 1. Kinda campy. Still interesting though, but unfortunately I'm getting a little tired of Rodney McKay. I know he's a 'cool character' and all from what people tell me but the actor just plays him too intense/annoyed. I get that Rodney is a supergenius and can't be bothered with small minded people (much like Nicholas Rush in SG Universe) but at least Rush just had an aloofness, and he was a badass.

Rodney just whines whenever he gets annoyed, and it just bugs me.

Is that the sitcom with David Spade and Johnny Johnson from News Radio?

If so, I've given the show a shot or few, but every character is such a dick I can't relate to any of them. All the guys seem like super douche bags, and the women are all clingy and self centered.

Might give it another watch, but the episodes I watched weren't funny, and the characters (and their acting) stunk.

Spade being a dick is always funny to me. Not one of my favorite shows but has its moments.

Been watching Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. It's weird, awkward, obnoxious, uncomfortable, gross, and juvenile. I love it. It reminds me somewhat of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

Tim and Eric are ok, but I prefer Robot Chicken.

They are apples and oranges man. Robot chicken is parody (and yes, funny) but Tim and Eric are whacked out absurdity. Totally different types of comedy.
