Weeds has some of the best writing on TV.
I thought the first season of Heroes was pretty well written. I'm not gonna talk about stuff that's gone off the air, but there's been good writing on some recently departed stuff (Alex mentioned some, and I particularly agree on the HBO shows)
I don't watch TV ... but I will rent series DVDs of highly praised series. I just finished Heroes, and I may try some Smallville (though, not having seen any, there's too many seasons to catch up on). I'm not sure if I'm gonna bother with the 3rd season of Lost - I hear it went seriously south.
Someone suggested I stream Pushing Daisies from abc.com, but it means I'd still have to keep up with episodic TV. I much prefer to simply wait, and watch an entire season over a few days on DVD.
So keep the recommendations coming folks.
What seasons of 24 should I skip??

Obviously the writer's strike won't affect a non-TV watcher like me ... but I'm also glad that some series will get more than a week or two on the air to develop a style and perhaps a following before they are unceremoniously yanked from the schedule. A product shortage could be just the thing to ironically result in some good television.
