    Lesser Known tv shows that you like watching

    I play online poker and would like to have more suggestions on tv shows to watch. I just got done with the trailer park boys and loved it.

    When it comes to lesser known I'd say Robot Wars on the bbc.

    But beyond that every show that was lesser known becomes big over time that I enjoyed such as Married with Children and Pawn Stars and Eastbound & Down. These all blew up big and I'm happy for them.

    Hmmm, not a sitcom or drama on these days that I find appealing, either well-known or otherwise. Last decent sitcom produced in the US was Seinfeld, and even it tailed off in quality towards the end.

    I watch the Texas HS sports review show on FOX Sports SW most weeks, perhaps that qualifies.

    There was a show in the 80's I used to watch with my father called Wise Guy with Ken Wahl. It had arcs, which were basically 4 to 5 episode storylines and it was great. That guy Ken Wahl should have been a big star but married the Barbi Twins and then went underground. Weird dude, great actor.

    Any show on IFC.

    Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks...and they have a few new shows they've added to their line up. But I believe all the shows actually ran 5-10 years ago.

    And River Monsters on Animal Planet.

    I like National Geographic's Explorer on the Nat Geo channel. When they break something down, they do a great job. I just saw one on Coke smuggling in Columbia. Those guys are using submarines to get the party to the US. The US has DEA agents leading the raids from American UH-60 Blackhawks in the jungles of Columbia and the US Navy is patrolling the waters off columbia.

    Spartacus: Blood & Sand. Watching it on DVD from last season, good for those who dug 300-style violence. Lots of in this show too, including Lucy Lawless.

    The Shield - A Crazy show with lots of action based on cops who bend the rules to get things done. Show finished after about 7 Seasons.

    Sons of Anarchy - Same creator and write of the Shield based on bikes who run there operations in a small town. Epic show just finished its Second Season.

    The Wire - Show about Police and Drug Dealers based on the Police tapping the lines of drug dealers. Ended in its 7th Season.

    It's always Sunny in Philadelphia - Show about friends and family owning a bar and the hilarity that ensues (Danny DeVito joins the cast later on )

    Reno 911 - Hilarious show making fun of Cops HAHAHAHAH

    Arrested Development - Show about the Bluth family trying to keep there business afloat.

    I never hear anyone talk about Newsradio but I've been watching every day for months and that show is hilarious.

    Also...

    Arrested Development (funniest show of all time)
    Freaks and Geeks
    Undeclared
    King of Queens
    Friday Night Lights
    The Norm Show

    These are great if you haven't seen them. The Wire can be a little slow at times, but the writing is fantastic.

    Leverage is also a great lesser known show. It's basically a group of con-artists/thieves who act as sort of a new age Robin Hood, helping people who are shat on by the rich and powerful.

    The first season averaged 1.2 million viewers. The second season premiere was watched by 1.7 million viewers, up 21%.
    Yeah, Breaking Bad is definitely a lesser known show.
