Hooked up on TV series

Some months ago I didn't think that I would stick to an English TV series, not in any way dubbed or subtitled. But my girlfriend got me totally hooked up with both House, M.D. (Hugh Laurie is just hilarious) and 24. I got my own pick, too: Futurama.

At least watching those American series improves my listening comprehension, although I still miss quite a lot of puns and jokes due to the missing subtitles and due to my missing knowledge of English sayings. But it works out somehow, she's explaining some of them to me, and I still enjoy it and have fun.

If you want to improve your listening comprehension then try Veronica Mars or The West Wing.  Don't worry if you have to play some sections a few times to understand them, lots of native English speakers have difficulty with them.

If you're looking for american series:
- Family Guy and American Dad (way better than Futurama
- Lost
- Battlestar Galactica (the new series)

and I would really like to suggest

- Dr Who and Torchwood

if you're into british series (although,
you might have some trouble with the language)

Good luck!
