I'm wondering what are some good scripted TV shows to watch.

I realize that this is subjective, but here are some that I have already tried:

Watching/Completed
The Shield
Dexter
Weeds
Burn Notice
The Office (UK)

Sliding interest
Lost (dragging on and too many filler episodes)
Heroes (plot line changes every two episodes and lacks a consistent direction/character development)

Tried but didn't like (cheesy or not my taste)
Dr. Who
Torchwood
Dead Like Me
24 (after season 2, gave up)

The Office is a great show.
If you are considering a comedy show, I definitely recommend it.

I've watched the British version, guessing you are talking about the US "The Office" show. I'll check it out. Thanks and keep the suggestions coming.

Try watching Pushing Daisies, even though they stopped doing episodes, I still recommend to watch.

And try watching the early episodes of House. (The latest ones are really mucked up and dead) .
Yeh, my suggestions.

Kenny Vs. Spenny - one of my favourites, and all the episodes can be found online.
That show is horrible. Its just one giant (and bad) gay/fart joke.

If you can't lower yourself to enjoy the fundamentals, then I'd be ashamed to call you human.

This season I only watched Californication and True Blood, both were soso, but not bad. Stopped watching Heroes after it became clear in episode two of season three that they'll never manage to bring this clusterfuck of a show back to season one levels.

Heard good things about Sons of Anarchy and Generation Kill (a mini series by the makers of "the wire"), but didn't have time to watch them yet.

I wouldn't recommend Futurama, Bender's Game (the DVD from this year), here's what I wrote about it on another board:

*Highly* disappointing. Nothing even remotely funny in this "episode". Just a bunch of random, bad, jokes slapped together by a more than thin story. Futurama usually has great pop culture references, this time they were reduced to lame movie spoofs and a few D&D citations. I have no idea if this worked split to single episodes, as a whole movie it was really annoying. It looked great in HD, though.

    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
