Question by poolhall_junkie: What’s a good tv series?
Ok so me and my girlfriend just moved away from home to go to college and she and her family would rent tv series and watch them. so to help her fight her homesickness i want to recreate that for her. so can anyone suggest a good series for an 18 and 19 year old couple. and please leave a description of the show.

she likes sex in the city, jon and kate plus eight, lost, cake boss, what not to wear, desperate housewives, aka crap

ergh so you want recommendations that suit her needs right?
Skins – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840196/
Best (british) teenage drama around. I think you would probably like it too. It does have a lot of sexual content though, still highly recommend it.
Kings – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1137462/
It was recently cancelled, but i still highly recommend the first season. The show is a modern day retelling of the david and goliath story. Very well done show, and it probably has enough romance in it to satisfy your girlfriend.
Friday Night lights – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758745/
This show might turn her off at first (if she’s anti sports) but i assure you it’s not a football oriented show. The show takes place in a town which is obssessed with high school football, but that’s not the focus of the show, it just sets the ground for the story. This show is a drama at it’s core, and it has a lot of romance in it. I think you’d both enjoy it. Highly recommend it.
True blood – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844441/
It’s a vampire /drama show, but for some reason girls seem to be the most infatuated with this one. IT’s a really popular show. I’ve only watched a few episodes but i say give it a shot.
Other current drama’s which she may like (not my recommendations, just naming them)
The secret life of an american teenager
90210
Degrassi: the next generation
Medium
Ghost whisperer
Gossip Girl
For sitcoms i would recommend
Two and a half men
The big bang theory
IT crowd (personal favorite)
Flight of the conchords (hilarious)
Weeds (very funny show, similar setting to desperate housewives)
For you in your private time
Breaking Bad – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/
It’s on par with Dexter (if not better)
Hope that helps!
