The Big Bang Theory is an American situation comedy about two super smart, socially inept roommates that live across the hall from an ‘inferior’, but gorgeous, woman.

Sheldon (Theoretical Physicist) and Leonard (Experimental Physicist) are content with their lives and small circle of acquaintances/friends that all move in the same academic circles until Penny moves in across the hall. She seldom understands what Sheldon is talking about and Leonard tends to dumb down the conversation so she understands it better. Leonard has the foresight to see Penny as their social saviour and also sees her as a possible, if unlikely, love interest. Two fellow scientists from Caltech, Howard & Rajesh, complete the group. Howard sees himself as a gift to women but more often fails that succeeds in his quest for love/lust, he never lets an opportunity pass him by to flirt with Penny or to make suggestive comments. Rajesh has a strange disorder where he can’t speak to any women unless he is drunk (or thinks he is drunk), even with Penny who he sees as a friend, whenever she is in the same room he whispers his questions or statements to one of the guys.

So, what is next for this misfit group of scientists and their saviour?

The show is a significant part of British popular culture[3][4] in the United Kingdom, and elsewhere it has become a cult television favourite.

MythBusters is a science TV series on Discovery Channel that explores myths, proving them wrong, confirming the myth or deciding that it is plausible. The team consists of Jamie Hyneman, Adam Savage, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron, and Grant Imahara. They usually explore more than one myth per episode. Jamie and Adam normally work together or compete against each other to prove or disprove a certain myth while the rest of the team tackle other myths. Some episodes have themes where they will only tackle myths that fall within that range e.g. Vodka Myths. Sometimes they’ll revisit myths approaching them from a different angle, it very rarely happens that they change their ‘verdict’ from one extreme to the other but it is possible.

So, what myth gets busted next?

V is a science fiction TV series remake (sort of) of a 1983 miniseries of the same name. An alien race comes to Earth and insists it comes in peace but in fact the alien race has a very dark and sinister motive. In the first season of V the aliens offer their medical knowledge and clean power solutions to Earth. A handful of humans don’t believe that the V’s are here in peace and forms a resistance. During the season it’s a to and fro between the good and bad of the V’s and the humans. Season 1 ends with a shot of a whole fleet of Visitor’s ships surrounding the planet, just waiting to invade Earth. In season 2 the resistance is even more focused on exposing the V’s for who and what they are. There’s more mind control and eye for an eye stuff and season 2 ends much the same as 1 with more V ships revealing themselves.

So, what happens next?

The Office is yet another US television series adopted from a UK series of the same name. The series is shot to give it a documentary feel and filmed in a single-camera setup.  This series follows the exploits of the employees of a paper company, focusing on their interpersonal relationships and the usual office politics in a comedic way. All of the employees have their own hang ups and rivalries that drive them. This is one of those shows that you’ll either love or hate, there’s no middle ground.

The story of Stargate SG-1 begins about two years after the events of the feature film, when the US government learns that a network of ancient alien devices called Stargates connects a vast multitude of planets within our Milky Way galaxy, facilitating near-instantaneous interstellar travel. Later episodes reveal that this network is capable of spanning not just planets within the Milky Way, but with sufficient power, can provide intergalactic travel as well. Stargate SG-1 chronicles the adventures of the special force and mercenary squad, SG-1, the flagship team of over two dozen teams from Earth who explore the galaxy and defend Earth against alien threats such as the Goa'uld, Replicators, and later the Ori. The composition of the SG-1 team is stable in the show's first five seasons but changes several times in the remaining seasons. The series expands upon many Ancient Earth mythologies such as Egyptian mythology, Norse mythology, and Arthurian legend. The 2008 direct-to-DVD films Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum continue the adventures of SG-1. - Wikipedia


There was more than one spin off shows for this brilliant series.  One of this I think should be a show about Vala Mal Doran played by Claudia Black, also staring in Farscape.
She is such a funny character, not caring what happens to people as long as she get the loot.

7de Laan is an award winning South African 30 minute soap opera, airing on SABC 2, Mondays – Fridays, 18:30 to 19:00. The show follows the life and sorrows of people living in a small community in Johannesburg. Like all soapies the story lines all seem a little too familiar, but after years and years on television you can’t really expect anything else. Characters come and go from time to time but at least they haven’t brought anyone back from the dead…yet.

Being Human is a series (based on another series of the same name but from the UK) that centers around two (lets say 3) roommates but the one is a vampire, the second a werewolf and the third is a ghost that can’t move on. Now the whole werewolf-vampire thing has been done to death but somehow making them friends that share a house with an emotional ghost saves this series from the hundreds of dreadful fantasy based series that get cancelled long before they even finish airing an entire season. At the end of the series the werewolf impregnates his girlfriend and infects her with the dreaded I’m-also-gonna-turn-into-a-wolf-thing-come-full-moon-virus and the vampire gets appointed as head of his vamp-family in the city and the ghost misses her door out of the land of the living. With all the action packed up and downs I’m sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for season 2.

So, what happens next?
