Mine is Six Feet Deep and Curb Your Enthusiasm, both HBO shows.

I like Curb because it is so funny and shows the lives of the bicoastal NYC-LA community. Plus the people aren't beautiful or fabulous. Just regular Joe's who happen to live on both coasts and are rich as hell being in the entertainment industry.

Then I like 6 Ft. Deep because it shows LA for what it is. The most quintentisentially cool city in the US>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111

edit

Maybe the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? That's a pretty funny show...plus I can't think of many others that I ever watch that take place in L.A.

Definently would be Joey.

^ yeah I thought it was going to be horrible, but it turned out to actually be pretty funny, and his sister is pretty hot in it too! ;)

"3's company" and "the A-team".

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The OC and Laguna Beach...the latter two although are 'not techically' in LA.

The OC.

The Shield

definitley the Sheild. thats the best drama ever made for television. Great great show.

Night Stalker on ABC and Wanted on TNT. These shows present the LA environment in a unique way like Michael Mann's films Collateral and Heat! Love it!!!

Without a doubt, 3's Company.

Mad Tv, who's with me?

For me.......Sanford and Son or Three's Company, I guess.

Dragnet. Dum-da-dum-dum.

THE BEVERLY
HILLBILLIES

Huell Fucking Howser.

Shark on CBS is becoming my new favorite.

James Woods' acting as a private defense lawyer turned relentless, public defender is superb and the show also gets high marks for shooting most of their scenes in Downtown LA.

anybody watch the OC? i refuse to see it >( but ran across this online. pretty interesting!

http://www.seeing-stars.com/oc/index.shtml

That's a funny and interesting link, I must say. I especially liked the page under "locations" that describes places like Lincoln Heights in terms of in the "Lincoln Heights" section of East L.A. (another part of town you definitely don't want to visit.) Besides I don't consider Lincoln Heights to be a part of East LA.

ya me too. ilove how they incorporate LA , especially Downtown into the show. they use the subway, Disney Hall, Caltrans building, etc etc. i bet Staples is next.

Lincoln Heights is definitely not part of East LA. It is within incorporated city limits just across the river from Chinatown. East LA is unincorporated. Just because it isn't Beverly Hills is not a reason to avoid this neighborhood. Lincoln park itself is very charming with the Plaza De La Raza and a Mexican themed playground which is very unique. I believe they have recently reopened the merry-go-round in the park as well. I would also recommend the Phoenix bakery on North Broadway. Their strawberry cakes are famous.

Its also a pity that folks avoid East LA. The Sundays when the Mariachis come out and play are wonderful. Also the most interesting murals in the city are probably in the East LA, Boyle Heights area.

Lincoln Heights is not "East L.A." but it IS "The Eastside." And the TRUE L.A. "Eastside" (east of the LA river), not the stupid gentrohipster definition of "Eastside."

The Gold Line Phase II will open up the Eastside to Angelenos like the Blue Line opened up Watts. Many Angelenos hadn't even been to the Watts Towers until the Blue Line opened.

But Atwater Village is also east of the LA river . Would you consider AV to be "East LA" as well???? Don't think so....... Further, Lincoln Heights couldn't be incorporated seeing that it is within the City Of LA. The most easterly hood in LA would be its neighbor El Sereno.

East LA is a specific area running along Whittier Blvd as its main drag just outside city limits. It has always been the heart and soul of Chicano Los Angeles and is well worth exploring. Boyle Heights and Lincoln Heights and Highland PArk, and a whole raft of other districts are on the eastside and have a lot of Hispanic residents, and are interesting in and of themselves but they are not East LA any more than Venice is Santa Monica.

TOP CHEF is being filmed in downtown L.A....I like that show. And Silverlake..it's Six Feet Under - not Six Feet Deep...I had to correct you becuase I love that show!:)

1. The Shield
2. Entourage in HD
3. Standoff in HD

Gotta love the LA scenes in Hi Def.

How could i forget my favorite show ever, the Shield!

Three's Company, by far.

‘Entourage’ boys have some sexual hang-ups
When it comes to Hollywood princes, fiction trumps real life.
By Paul Brownfield, Times Staff Writer
March 27, 2007

Strangely for a show on HBO about being young and male and rich in Hollywood, there are no sex scenes on "Entourage."

It's a sex farce without the sex; you presume that the young movie star Vince (Adrian Grenier) has a stable of rotating women, but these conquests are like Vince's acting talent — implied, not shown, as if to see Vince actually engaged in the sex act would turn off viewers.

I'm five episodes into the new season, which premieres April 8, and the show has never seemed better as both comedy and benign Hollywood fantasy, the predictable rhythms of each episode (good things happen, then get briefly derailed, only to end in something even better happening) freeing up the writers to be playful with dialogue.

With HBO facing life after "The Sopranos," "Entourage" is to the pay-cable network what "Sex and the City" was — a romp, with a swag bag of material goodies (for HBO, that would be celebrity cameos, partial nudity and profanity) for the audience at the door of every episode.

"Sex and the City" in its unbidden depictions of sex and presentation of boy toys, earned the reputation of being written for women and gay men by women and gay men. The show was nowhere near as chaste or ashamed about the self-conscious, bad ballet of lovemaking as "Entourage" is. Apparently, it's actually straight males who find sex icky. The self-censorship is even more glaring given that "Entourage" otherwise revels in displaying the spoils of new Hollywood money (in the codified world of the show, you have to have the scene in which Vince buys three gleaming new sports cars on the spot).

"The Mind of the Married Man" was HBO's first male-gaze counterpart to "Sex and the City," but the network quit on it after one season and has found its Shangri-La, perversely, with a show in which straight males gaze at one another. Even this coming season, when Vince begins sleeping with his new agent (played by the luscious Carla Gugino), their hot sex is conveyed post-coital, the two lounging demurely in a bubble bath — a scene that feels very "Desperate Housewives" or "Grey's Anatomy."

What have we here, then? As was noted in a Sunday Calendar piece by Gina Piccalo this weekend, boy-meets-boy comedies are in, the latest being "Blades of Glory," with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as a team of pairs skaters.

"Blades of Glory" sounds like a sight gag with built-in sub-jokes meant to set off only mild gay panics among 16-year-old boys in the audience. The TV business is much more of an ongoing conversation, so no surprise that "Entourage" has already been copied to more disturbing effect in the form of "Sons of Hollywood," a reality series premiering on A&E on Sunday.

The "sons" are Randy Spelling (son of the late Aaron) and Sean Stewart (son of Rod), with fellow Beverly Hills boy David Weintraub as the pal-manager. "Sons of Hollywood" is the answer to a question nobody was wondering: What if you did "Entourage" with actual Hollywood layabouts, without the writing and the acting and, you know, all that other work stuff?

You're supposed to gape and guffaw and feel a little pinprick of guilty fascination. But to borrow a Woody Allen line, Randy, Sean and David, having lived so many years inside the bubble of entitlement, appear to have ripened and then rotted.

Theirs is a world in which you stand in a gleaming, humongous kitchen eating from Styrofoam takeout containers. I was hoping the Hollywood sons would get Social Security numbers in Episode 1 (they're in their 20s, after all, it's time), but instead they go to Vegas to gamble and cavort and freeload. There's something gutless about a show that teases you about how depraved these boys can get while excusing it all as harmless because, well, they're wearing body mikes. And what do they do when not wired for sound from their jeans?

You could say the same thing about "Entourage" (in the show's too perfect dream world, Vince, Eric, Turtle and Drama are menschen, feet still planted on the ground), but at least they have verifiable skills — Drama uses his kitchen to whip up tasty meals, and Turtle's a whiz at making a fast buck.

They're from Queens, they don't know from Randy Spelling's pampered childhood. Ultimately, what makes "Entourage" feel so alive is that every main character is Machiavellian to some extent. On "Sons of Hollywood," nobody knows what they want, other than something to do at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday, something other than spending time around one another shirtless, playing slap-and-tickle while the girlfriends, quite like extras, enter and exit the frame.

The MOST LA show on the air now has to be "Workout" on Bravo. Set in SkySport a Beverly Hills fitness spa for the wealthy that overlooks Century City.

The show is "so" LA.

^^ so is Top Design ... I prefer Workout though...it's soo sad that the guy from Workout dies during the taping of this season...I cried a little.

so here is an updated list of my favorites..

in no particular order

1) The Shield
2) Shark
3) Entourage
4) What About Brian
5) Nip/Tuck (starting this year, it will be in LA)
6) Weeds

Oldies but Goodies

1) Threes Company
2) Fresh Prince of Bel Air
3) Saved by the Bell
4) The OC

Has anyone caught a glimpse of the new show "Sons of Hollywood" I believe I might be mis~spelling!

I forgot about Nip/Tuck's move. I did like the previous Miami vibe though so I hope they can pull it off here.

It was also nice to see another city be labeled as a swamp of superficial narcissists other than LA.

SIMPLE LIFE....:banana::):):):):):)

I'm not sure which show is my favorite, but I saw an LA show last night that was perhaps the worst i've ever seen. has anyone else seen "notes from the underbelly" i think its called? it was awful. theve even showed a roller blading guitar player on the beach in santa monica, but it wasnt the dude with the turban.
