My guilty pleasure is the amazing race. I live the adventure and compotition and I like to see all the interesting places these people go to. And I don't like reality shows generally.
There are women wearing skimpy clothes but the atmosphere is usually wholesome.

I've started watching the amazing Race. You can find all the seasons on youtube, including the most recent one that just started

word of warning: I went to youtube to watch amazing race season 16, coudnt find the end of episode 1 clicked on a link to watch the rest of it - and wham, bam, the nonexistent site gave me avirus, shut down my laptop, it cost me $150 to fix! Dont go around looking for any other sites to watch shows on, theese places are riddled with viruses.

I'm not sure where you clicked but I use a specific user's channel and haven't had any problems.

Have you seen Arrested Development yet?

Looove Arrested Development and in that vein must recomend 30 Rock and Modern Family.
Also, I feel a lot of frum people would really enjoy Big Love.
My personal favorites right now are Mad Men, Weeds and Entourage.

Isnt Big Love about polygamy? how would frum ppl enjoy that?

but what does beign frum have to do with not enjoying a show even though its about polygamy. I could see finding it interesting, to see how others live. im going to look this one up.

and thank you everyone for all of these ideas. wow. so many shows, so little time Smile

I know I'm kinda late to the conversation but I just really really have to recommend House MD.
It is an amazing medical show each episode is a contained story so you are not kept hanging but it has great arcs so you still really wanna see the next episode.

I like Big Love but, as a warning, there are MANY non-tznius scenes!

That new reality shows, Sister Wives, that I mentioned is about a polygamous family and is pretty darn squeaky clean.

Really depends what you like, and what level of tznius you need.
All mixed, I liked:

The Tudors (though I thought it got bad in the end and really really bad the last few ones)
House
Lost
Master Chef/Top Chef unless you're on a diet
(Total) Wipe out
Deadwood
Stargate SG1, Atlantis, Universe (starting again!)
Tru Blood
Happy Town
Persons Unknown
Warehouse 13
Mentalist
Lie to me
Sanctuary
Flash Forward
Prison break (though only liked the first season)
24 (same)
That thing about peasants looking for wives, single parents looking for spouses, mother exchange...
Big Brother (something about difficult teens and their issues being solved by a "big brother")
Supernanny (zal Sad

)

If you want to perfect your French Wink

I love Plus belle la vie, Cinq soeurs & Second chance.

The first season has the most non tznius scenes. The last one had non but the plots were insane.

I meant frum people will be able to relate to the aspect of people living for a higher calling and calculating their spiritual goals in the decision making process. I also love the family values on the show. Watch a few episodes and you'll see.

P.S most HBO and Showtime shows take a while to develop their characters.

So.. I went to Israel for Sukkot, and while I was there was desperate to watch my shows. I asked my uncle who recommened to me to download a 'vpn' (virtual private network) and basically it gives you an IP (internet provider) address as in the states. This means you can watch hulu/ fox/ whatever. The one I downloaded was free, called 'hotshield' (it is legal btw- my uncle lookd into it) but its pretty slow. There are tons of other free ones- if u want a better performing one, u could also buy one for like $5 a month.
