TV can be boring sometimes; seemingly the same rubbish everyday on a continuous loop, but have you thought that maybe there’s the perfect TV series for you out there somewhere?

With satellite television, cable, and the roll out of digital terrestrial television there’s more and more great programming coming out all the time. So how do you go about finding the perfect series for you?

Using TV guides is the old way of finding TV listings. Increasingly, technology-savvy viewers are using the internet to find TV programmes that match their exact taste. If there’s a certain actor you like, take Rob Lowe for example, you can find his entire career online and find everything he’s going to be in for the next six months.

Social networking sites are also increasingly becoming popular as a way of finding interesting programmes or ones that have favourite actors in.

For those scared of technology, there’s always word of mouth. Asking your friends who watch a lot of TV can yield lots of interesting leads, just be careful that your friends taste can be trusted!
