Looking For A Good Show

So me and my girlfriend are looking for a good show to watch.. We plan on buying a season of something. Right now we're thinking Weeds but we've never seen it. What's good people? If you were out and about looking for a season of something to buy, what would you get?
Thanks- Jordon

I'm not looking into 3rd Rock From the Sun and Seinfeld, etc. stuff like that. Although Seinfeld is my favorite show, I just want something new.

For some reason I could never get into It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.. Dunno why really. Right now I'm looking at: Weeds Dexter The Wire
Any others I should look into? Any thoughts on those choices?

Off the top of my head I'd go with the following: Californication, Dexter, Weeds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, Rome, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Oz, LOST, Boston Legal..
On another note I'll have to check out It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia seeing as it has been mentioned a few times in this thread.

I'm personally a fan of "Rescue Me" and "Jericho," the latter being a fucking awesome show about a nuclear attack on the United States. The new season started this week, I do believe. The only reason I'm unsure is because I've been so damn busy with... drugs.

I like Jericho too. When I heard it was about a post-apocolyptic America, I was hoping for something a little bit more like "The Postman," but I still like it.

It might be one of the most underrated shows on television, but it's because Americans don't want to see their precious country in shambles. They'd rather watch a show that consists of similar murder cases each "new" episode. Of course, I'm not talking about CSI or anything...

Dexter is that gas for real though. so is lost i bought season 3 just so i could watch it all tha way through. seriously though go for dexter the new season is coming out soon so you will have just enough time to finish watching the first season.

Get Weeds! The first season is the shit. All of them are the shit.
If you're interested in Ricky Gervais, get Extras. It's a cringe comedy but it has enough light moments to keep you laughing. Every episode features a few HUGE stars that play in a second story line. In one of them, Daniel Radcliffe (the kid that plays Harry Potter) tries to have sex with the female lead; to impress her he pulls out an unwrapped condom from his pocket to prove he's got protection.
Don't get six feet under, it's pretentious and the writing sucks. The first season of dead like me is fantastic, especially the undead drug addict.

I don't watch much TV (we don't have one in my house), but sometimes I get to see shows with my buddies. One girl had me watch this funny show, "My Name is Earl".
It's about this guy who makes a list of all the "bad karma" things he's done and he tries to fix them after he wins the lottery. The show is pretty funny and picks on trailer trash (which is like picking on my hometown), and there is a good actor or two in the show -- the chunky guy from Shaun of the Dead is in it (Sorry, I don't know names..)
