I'm a big fan of "Lost" which can be watched at abc.com
"Entourage" is a fun series
"Deadwood" is good
"Hero's" is worth watching
"Nip Tuck" is good
"Veronica Mars"-I was surprised how much I liked this series
"The Office"-both US and UK versions are good
"Jericho"-Not sure if this show will last, but I enjoyed the first season; ▶ Reply to This

I hope you return to post feedback on people's suggestions once you try them out! :-); ▶ Reply to This

Even though it was made in the 80's it's still relevant. It has a bit of everything, humor, love, drama and the setting is unusual. Six Feet Under is a very entertaining show. Horatio Hornblower is British and very enjoyable. Following is a list of shows that are well done and entertaining: Nero Wolfe, Monk, Foyles War, Dexter, Grey's Anatomy, Carnivale, Duchess of Duke St, Chef!(British humor)
Enjoy!!; ▶ Reply to This

The Sopranos was great, I agree. I never developed a taste for "24" - just too disjointed for me!; ▶ Reply to This
