Jaimoe Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 This thought came when discussing great TV shows with Booche the other day. He believes (and I concur) that that we are in another Golden Age Of Television and ironically, some of the best shows on the tube almost require the viewer to drink. Not ironically, my three top programs have lead characters that are card-carrying alcoholics, wrought with demons both physical and mental.In no order:DeadwoodRescue MeBattlestar Galactica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 We tried to rent Deadwood the other day, but the first set of episodes were out. I am all over that show like scum on a pond. It looks fantastic. Right up my alley. Oh, and I thank reality tv for this surge is great writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Don't forget the greatest drinking T.V. show ever, The Smurfs. Take a shot after every time they say smurf. Never fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Sex and the City has been burnign up our DVD player since renting season 1 a week ago. We're on season 3 and drinking is essential. That's all they do in the show aside from the sex and smoking. It's a really hilarious show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I'm hooked on Scrubs and Arrested Development... Sadly one is already cancelled, but the other has risen from the ashes and will return for a sixth season! Both brilliant shows.Is it wrong to like Friends?

bouche Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 after this Sex and the City thing, I think Scrubs will likely be next on the custom programming schedule.and Friends was a very funny show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I've started watching reruns of Friends lately. It was a great show.Also, very much enjoying Sex in the City, in fact we can sit down for one episode and not stop until 5 episodes later. "Just one more bouchey, come on!"Everything I watch on TV is a drinking show. Booze and TV go hand in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you will have to speak French to me all night if you don't want to have your butt kicked. ;-)Ms. Hux, I woulda loved to sit on your patio and try that beer can chicken!
