Titolo: What Tv Series...

Hi all, I have half a mind to buy a TV series Dvd box, but I am hesitant
about it. I'd like a cool series with American English speakers
(Newyorkers, if possible)... any advice?

OMG, I hate it more than you could ever know! I just can't stand with
that... Other possibilities?

"Fame", "Sex and the City", "Law & Order", "NYPD Blue", "The
Jeffersons", "The Cosby Show"... solo per dirti alcuni dei miei
preferiti.

The West Wing? (Not New York, but not an action series, and if Season
1 at least is
very well done)
The Wire? One of the best things I've seen for ages. Baltimore, not
New York.

 (Newyorkers, if possible)... any advice?
Frasier? (also not New York, sorry)

How I Met Your Mother is set in New York, but if you dislike Friends so 
much, I'm afraid you won't appreciate it.

Talking about which, I have to thank you because I definitely agree
with you (I'm waiting for season 3 to arrive, I like to watch it
slowly...), and I decided to buy it only because of your posts on
icling.
I was wondering if your listening comprehension of "Baltimore
Gangsta English" has improved as you watched the five seasons!

Why New York?

Well, chances are that you might like what I like, then. :)
Unfortunately, I rarely watch TV, and I don't feel particularly entitled to
offer recommendations.  As far as my limited experience goes, most of the
(few) American things I happened to watch in the last few years are
basically uninteresting and shallow. The only two exceptions to this are
probably Cold Case and Scrubs, both of which I found rather entertaining.
You're only interested in the American stuff, aren't you?
Recently, I read a post from Adam mentioning a British TV series
called "Life on Mars". The title looked promising. So, since I have some
extra spare time these days (due to a badly injured foot), I downloa...
borrowed a few episodes and start watching them. The basic idea is quite
original and peculiar. Overall, I'd say it's worth watching, although not
especially good for those who want to improve their English, unless they
want to learn the Mancunian accent.

 Gangsta English" has improved as you watched the five seasons!
Yes, I expect it has. I probably even understand most of what Snoop
says now.

 and I could even press charges for that...
Oh, I bet you could... But it just feels like you won't ;-)

 Why New York?
I've just came back from NYC and, you know, I miss everything and
everyone I met overthere..

That p seems to me to be fairly obvious once attention is drawn to it,
but I do not know how to argue for it further. So, p.

What about that series which chronicles the life of an Italian-American
family living in New Jersey - the Sopranos?  :>)
I was born in Manhattan and raised in the Bronx, and I still consider New
York my home town. I'm glad that you liked it there.

 How I Met Your Mother is set in New York
and so is Gossip Girl.
