    Yeah I watched it over the last year when they would put new shows on demand. It was a fantastic show. I think the season with the kids was my favorite.

    you've got to let it breath...they take a while to develop the characters early on so it might seem to be moving slow for a few episodes. it get's real interesting about 5 episodes in.

    the writing is so f@cking good

    If you liked Lucky Louie on HBO check out Louie on FX. Or watch Eastbound and Down again or get Season 1 DVD with outtakes, deleted scenes, etc. Really good.

    how many seasons did they have? Never seen Twin Peaks - heard it was good too, though
    Carnivale was really great! Only 2 seasons (HBO)...which sucks because it ends on such a cliffhanger and they didn't come back. So good, though.

    Also, I didn't see it on your list...but Homeland on Showtime is really great. It started in 2011 and the first season just ended. Definitely worth a watch!

    Late to the thread by 11 years, but Mr Show with Bob and David is outstanding, timeless comedy.  Genius

    agreed....some of the skits are duds but there is some hilarious stuff there.  That skit where David is the convenience store cashier is hilarious.  The change making dilemma.

    Two shows on Showtime that were great in their first few season: Power and Billions

    I thought like the 1st 4 seasons of those 2 were great but story lines kind of got a bit ridiculous after that.

    We did the same with Billions. I heard a new season’s coming out early next year?
