Me and the wife have gone years with out cable. We decided to get it back seeing as we have more free time. I have no idea whats on and what's good. I need to pick some shows or series to record. My interests are politics, history, military, guns, conspiracies, prepping/ survivalism. What shows should I watch? Thanks.

I'm going to ignore your interests, and suggest that you catch up on Breaking Bad. Start with Netflix, then get current with your TV. See you in a few weeks.

There is a show called "Doomsday Castle" I think its perfect for you.

New season of boardwalk empire just started, and if they gave you 3 free months of HBO, definitely go to HBO on demand and get caught up.

Darn, based on the thread title I thought DirecTV DVRs finally got the old TiVo "suggestions" feature.  I miss that when I'm bored and looking for something new.

There is some stuff on Video on Demand.  I think I have a link around here somewhere...

There we go.  You can browse channels that have VOD content and watch away!

Breaking Bad.  I recommend watching the first 4 seasons first though.

Sons of Anarchy is good

Have no idea if it got renewed but if so, Justified is awesome.

I saw a show the other day on NATGEO or HISTORY or something don't remember.

Some survival show, maybe in Alaska, can't remember.

Guy found some bear poop and still had some undigested berries in it.

And yea, he ate the berries.

You could start there!

Thanks for the replies. I'll get into breaking bad and board walk empire first. What the hell is keeping up with the kardashians? Is that a gun shop show or something?

I've really taken to Under the Dome. It's not as good as Breaking Bad, Walking Dead or Game of Thrones, but it's not bad for being on CBS.

I hate to be that guy but the book was infinitely better.  That said although I don't care for some of the changes to the characters, with the new direction it's turned out pretty good.
