Best Movies or TV to Watch while grinding?

[Ualaa]

I'll second the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Towards the end mid-late Season Two, some of the episodes were slower/sucked, and Fox warned Josh Friedman that those were killing the ratings. Some episodes I would skip.

But overall the show rocked, if you even sort of like the Terminator franchise.
Good stories, excellent chemistry between characters both getting along and tension.
Plenty of action; I was really disappointed with its cancellation.

while levelling through wrath, i watched all of the episodes of 'major dad' on hulu.

Thats only a little embarassing, right??

Hmmm

TV:

Firefly series + movie

The Larry Sanders Show

The I.T. Crowd

Basilisk (anime about sweet ninjas, don't know if that's your style though)

Just what I've been watching lately

extreme engineering i like but tends to interrupt gameplay occasionally

any stand up shows (I personally really like Argumental but on UK TV only I think - genius). for stand up comedy I recommend Eddie Izzard, Pablo Francisco, George Carlin, Bill Bailey and Jimmy Carr for starters

and if you're an overachiever, learn a new language.

All of the Buffy TV series is on streaming Netflix. That is 7 seasons worth of viewing to kill some time.

I watch G.I. Joe and Serenity and episodes of Firefly.

Also watch episodes of Top Gear which are fairly mindless as well.

I sometimes will watch netflix while boxing.

75% of the time I'm listening to a podcast called "Sick and Wrong". Hilarious and highly entertaining podcast that makes boring stuff go by fast.

20% of the time I'm listening to music.

5% would be various youtube videos or netflix.

Check out Pandorum (great psi-fi horror/thriller) and Rampage (Uwe Bol manages to direct a good movie for once) on Netflix.

All 8 seasons of Red Dwarf are available on netflix.

The Wire 5 seasons of it and the Unit is also good 4 seasons worth.
