Lesser-known TV shows worth watching

[stardust]

I love certain TV shows, but I'm tired of watching the same old shows over and over. I'm creating this thread for anyone who'd like to mention television shows others might not know about. I know I like to see something new.

I like watching re-runs of the show "Emergency" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency!

And episodes of "FlashPoint" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashpoint_(TV_series)

But that's just because of my background... What kind of shows do you like?

Me too. I've been watching it on Me-TV over a Digital subchannel. Actually I'm watching old B&W reruns from over the air television in the evenings more than from my satellite system.

That's off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more but I'm drawing a blank

As for comedy, I can't say I've ever enjoyed comedy shows, I like intricate plotlines

I like "Person of Interest", the last few episodes have been really good.

Although it's gross, American Horror's "coven" is good.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

The only show I am actively watching and waiting for is Game of Thrones.

 

[stardust]

Yeah I am waiting on Game of Thrones myself. I watched the first american horror story, I haven't seen the coven one, I think Ill check it out
