edited October 2024 in Fitness and Exercise
I walk outside carrying my son which burns lots of calories, but I also take advantage of naptime--or I'd be out there running/hiking, what have you. I don't have cable (too costly) and the only thing that keeps me from being bored on the ski machine is whatever is on Netflix. I tried Hulu Plus but it doesn't seem to have much else I'm interested in.

I've enjoyed Mad Men, Twin Peaks, The Riches, Lie To Me, Psych, Intelligence, X Files, Ricky the Exterminator, Archer, Dexter, Swamp People, and almost everything David Attenborough. Anything else any of you might recommend???:flowerforyou:

    I was going to say Dexter.... lol. How about Burn Notice? I like that one, it's very exciting and Jeffrey Donovan isn't exactly ugly :D

    Season 1 of The Glades was excellent.
  • If you like stupid humor like me, then I would definitely queue up Arrested Development and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
  • I loved Prison Break!!!!!

    I'm going to put It's Always Sunny & Arrested Development back in the queue. Hilarious! Quantum Leap is in there too.

    I waqtched all 6 seasons of LOST while using my elliptical machine, and now I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. I've heard Mad Men is good also.

    Rescue Me, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, The Mentalist, Castle, Parenthood, The Sopranos

    I didn't read all of the posts, but Jericho was one that I discovered on Netflix. Unfortunately it was a series that was canceled way too soon...I wish there were more episodes to watch.

    Arrested Development FO SHO!
    Firefly is also excellent, if you've never seen that.
    Veronica Mars.... don't judge! It's a great show. I didn't think I'd like it but I ended up falling in love with the show. You might get a little addicted to it.

    Dr. Who
    Sons of Anarchy
    Torchwood

    I knew I loved you for a reason.

    Did I mentioned I ordered a Doctor Who lunchbox?

    Veronica Mars IS great!! I hate that it didn't continue. Arrested Development is soooooo good, too.

    Start watching Doctor Who first. You'll know when it's time to watch Torchwood.

    I am also addicted to Veronica Mars....so sad it ended. But they took it off my instant streaming and that really ticked me off!

    I was all excited when I saw true blood and then I remembered wait I don't get dvds and that's probably what their talking about ;(
    Any who I love Veronica Mars; and I've always been a Charmed fan and me and my husband loved eureka...... and Kyle XY but they canceled it and it ended horribly..... It was like a luke I am your father moment and then no more!!!!
  • My son got me hooked on the office. Thirty Rock is good too.

    I agree! I love VM, except for season 3! Although I"m a HUGE fan of nekkid Piz, his name ALWAYS makes me giggle.
