What movies and tv shows _must_ I watch? Don’t worry about matching my tastes or naming things I haven’t already seen–I’ll filter appropriately. 😉 Thanks for any advice, and ftr I’ve already completely caught up on Community, It’s Always Sunny, 30 Rock, The Office, and House (and yeesh season 7 of House is _bad_. ☹ ) I also can watch _movies_ (but not tv shows, since it’s like two or three bucks an episode…) on Amazon on Demand. Also, btw, is there no way to watch any Indiana Jones movies online at all? I’ve been wanting to rewatch that series… ---

Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I watched all of the UK series Doc Martin on Netflix streaming. I liked it but don’t know if you will. ---

Friday Night Lights is a very good show, so if it’s available via Netflix streaming, I’ll second the recommendation. (And it’s very good and interesting even if you’ve no interest in football. The relationship between the football coach and his guidance-counselor wife is great.) ---

If you like _The Office_ you should try _Parks and Recreation_. The first season isn’t great, it’s like they were trying to hard to be like The Office. But it’s only 6 episodes and the 2nd season finds it’s own voice right away and is awesome all the way through. Beyond Parks and Rec, here are a few of my other favorites from Instant Watch. I’ll try not to go overboard. 🙂 TV or miniseries Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Pushing Daisies Dead Like Me Futurama (both the series and the movies) The Pillars of the Earth Mystery Science Theater 3000 Battlestar Galactica Dexter Documentaries Champion Man on Wire Buena Vista Social Club Anything by Ken Burns but particularly his _Civil War_ series and _Mark Twain_ Movies Moon Amelie The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasus The Messenger ---

But it’s only 6 episodes and the 2nd season finds it’s own voice right away and is awesome all the way through. I hope you’re right. I tried watching _Parks and Rec_, and tried very hard to like it, but I couldn’t force myself through it any longer, and gave up. I’ll give it a second go.
