    We gave up cable a while back because, well, we don't like reality programming and it seemed like that was all that was ever on. We watch a few shows but are on the lookout for other good ones.

    Currently airing shows we watch: Bones, Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Raising Hope, Simpsons, Bob's Burgers. Trying to get into Mad Men, keeping an eye on the new Fox lineup because we have Fox Now on Roku.

    What else should we check out?

    Hulu. I like ScyFy (sp) channel.
    Revolution, Revenge, Elementary, Blue Bloods.......there's a ton of stuff if you look hard enough.
    Blue Bloods is on CBS.com though. Big Bang Theory, Hawaii 5 oh.

    Boardwalk Empire is a great one to watch, American Horror Story's new season seems promising, The Middle and Modern Family are funny. Only reality TV show that I like to watch is Alaska Last Frontier.

    She watches Boardwalk empire, it seems ok. Neither of us could get into thrones. I remember when scifi was good, before syfy. Revolution was awful, I really wanted to like it.

    When I was laid up from surgery, I went through the BBC Bleak House miniseries (2005). It was awesome.

    Based on the Charles Dickens novel which I never read. An orphan, millions to be inherited, scandal, and love.

    If that isn't up your alley, then my ex husband and I watched Battlestar Galactica, 24, Lost, and The Shield.

    Speaking of BBC shows based on great books, have you checked out the Dirk Gently series?

    I have it on a lot whilst I am relaxing afterwork, while I am posting on here. Some nights it doesn't even come on, it's nice not having cable, I watch things at my leisure.
