Huh...Well you know, I pretty much watch all the shows fandom watches, and have a few folk from my flist that watch all shows. And almost any show I will say has been covered plenty on my flist already. And wow, while I like the few shows that might be in trouble, my fannish isn't over the top for them (I'm looking at you Human Target and In Plain Sight).
So, a show that I wish more people were watching....So that pretty much brings me down to two shows: Mad Men and Friday Night Lights.
Mad Men gets its own critical reviews still, has a loyal following that's in a respected demographic, and airs on cable on AMC so it's rather comfortable, if a bit terrifying from the expense side of things, especially as it gets multiple seasons under its belt. So all I'll say is: if you like interesting historical story telling, beutiful camera work, and vintage costumes, this show is for you. Plus, Christina Hendricks and John Hamm looking gorgeous and acting their hearts out.
Now then, Friday Night Lights - we all know we pretty much have only one season of this show left. More importantly, this was a show I initially tried and then fled from because it hits too close to home of my growing up in the midwest among football-mad citizens. However, after season 1 (or 2, I don't remember) was over, I gave the show another chance and fell head over heels in love. In no small part because of Kyle Chandler's acting. But everyone else on the show is brilliant as well, and if you ever wanted to understand how small town america functions, this is the show for you.
And so I leave you with the final scene of the pilot episode:
