What do pharmacists/pharmacy students like to watch? Any recommendations?

I watched ER, House, 24, Splinter Cell, Lost (those are the ones I remember now..)


What do you think of Heroes?

The only show on TV since I've been born that's worth a damn is The Wire. It doesn't appeal to many though. You have to be able to understand black inner-city slang (no different than trying to read Shakespeare in ye olde English)...and be able to follow a complex story arc..and not be afraid of gut-wrenching things happening to the complex characters they created. **** is like Dickens...and I'm not exaggerating.

Other than that I watch House. I'll watch random shows on Discovery, the History Channel...stuff like that...everything else...eh...

The Wire is truly amazing. It's nice to watch on DVD, so you can stop it and figure out what's going on. The show does not baby you; it has a large cast, and when they bring the characters back on, you need to remember who they are. It's powerful drama, and it shows that there's good and bad in all types of society.

Dexter is also really good. It's about a serial killer with a conscious. It's got some humor in it, some sadness, and not too much gore.

Deadwood I like to describe as the real wild west. It's raunchy, kind of gross at times, and makes you glad you live in civilization. But it's good.

For good shows that can be kind of silly, I like Chuck and Burn Notice. They're both spy shows that are silly, but they intend to not take themselves too seriously, especially Chuck.

One of my favorites is Veronica Mars. It's not really a teen show, even though it's about teens. It's more like Buffy w/out the vampires.

If you like sci-fi, Firefly and Farscape are both really good. Firefly is a mix of a western and sci-fi (strange, but it works). There's a lot of humor. Farscape is made by the Jim Henson company, and the puppetry is amazing. It's about an astronaut that gets sucked into a wormhole and ends up living on a living ship with all sorts of strange aliens. Despite the puppets, it's not a kid's show.

Oh, another good show is Arrested Development. It's a sit-com that is absolutely hilarious.

Just about all of these are over now (except Chuck and Burn Notice), but you can get them on DVD.

My top three:

The First 48
Locked up Abroad
The O'Reilly Factor

Caught the first episode of Primetime Crime the other night on ABC....pretty good.

The Wire and The Soprano's was the sh** 👍

I like to watch alot of crime shows, for example:

The First 48
Forensic Files
Another 48
Dateline NBC

I also like some of the reality shows, just to get my laugh off those fools:
Big Brother
Real Housewives
Gotti
Candy Girls
Kim Kardashian (sp)

Dang, that scene is catchy! Makes me want to watch that show! When does it come on?

 

[DoctorRx1986]

I don't watch tv; with few exceptions, most tv is pure junk for the mind.

 

[Kirbypuff]

How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, The Office. Mostof the time I'm on SDN, I'm simultaneously watching one of the three shows on netflix. Also, CSI.

It was on for 5 seasons between 2002-2008. The story is very progressive in nature (like a series of novels), so to really get it all you probably need to start from season 1, episode 1 and go from there. Sometimes they show it on BET, but it's available on DVD. Maybe rent a season on Netflix or something. I'm on my third time watching the entire 60 episodes in chronological order..and there are still little things I'm picking up for the first time.

Wow, sounds fun. I guess after I get a break from school and fulfill my House Season 5 obligations I'll start on that one.

you have great taste in TV shows!!!

😍

I second all of farscape girl's recommendations. especially the wire, deadwood, arrested development, and firefly. If you're interested in sci fi, check out the movie "serenity", which ties into Firefly .. although im not sure if it will spoil the plot of the series, cause i havent watched the series yet.

Also: The Next Generation. Cant forget about that classic!

 

[UMN_MJS_2010]

Come on, no one here watches Rescue Me?

 

[BetseyJohnson]

I rarely watch tv, except to watch my two favorite tv shows, which are:
1.) Gossip Girl
2.) 90210

Quite the intellectual, I know. I mostly just like to see the fashions on these shows.

 

[DrWrong]

Daisy of Love, Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, A Shot at Love, A Shot at Love 2, I Love New York, Charm School, The Real World, Tool Academy, Scream Queens, The Duel 2

So basically anything with the word love in it you watch? Are you lonely? HAHA, just kidding, of course. Daisy of Love is pretty good and so was Flavor of Love xD

Ever watch Dr. 90210? That show is pretty good 😎

Thanks!

You really should watch Firefly. I think it's better than Serenity, actually, although it was nice Serenity tied up some loose ends.

Out of curiosity, do you like Deep Space Nine? It's one of my favorite shows (right up there with Farscape), but I don't bring it up as much, mostly because people can't get their mind over the Star Trek thing...

 

[SpirivaSunrise]

Hmmm, you may on occasion catch me watching-

PTI, Around the Horn, Project Runway, Dirty Jobs, O'Reilly, Food Network, Friends/Seinfeld/SATC reruns...and I'm just getting into The Office now.

I don't sit down to watch a lot of TV when it's not football season, but will generally have it on to fill the silence.

 

[FarscapeGirl]

I did forget one: the new Battlestar Galactica. That show is awesome. It's too bad it's over now, but the ending was pretty good. It did get a bit mystical for the last few seasons, which kind of annoyed me, but the acting, story lines, and action were amazing.

 

[ttopping]

way too many shows I could recommend...a couple funny ones nobody has mentioned yet are
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
East Bound and Down

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is probably the funniest show I've ever seen. I wish Arrested Development would come back too.
