Also the first season of Heroes was incredibly well written (the book is still out on Season 2). Battlestar Gallactica, The Wire, The Shield, Arrested Development, Deadwood, The Sopranos, etc., all are recent examples of great writing.

I'll see your Arrested Development and I'll raise you Freaks and Geeks.

Oh Freaks and Geeks was awesome! I hear that is on DVD now.

I watched the entire first season. Admittedly, that's not the first 3 seasons, but it was enough for me not to watch season 2.

I'm not a big season 1 fan, actually. Seasons 2 and 3 are my favorite seasons of television, ever.

Never seen an episode of the show but the movie was a stinker.

BarTopDancer · 11-05-2007, 05:21 PM

Good shows:

Lost
Heros
Jericho (coming back in Jan. All episodes are already filmed)
Gray's Anatomy
Private Practice (Gray's spin off)
House
Bones
The 4400
The Office
My Name is Earl
L&O SVU
30 Rock
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Arrested Development(until they were prematurely canceled)
I'll still put 24 up there even if it is predictable now.

The one positive about the strike is that shows are being given a chance to air before they are yanked. Perhaps a few new shows will now have time to develop an audience; instead of being pulled after 3 weeks and so-so rating.

No mention of Ugly Betty?! Just about the funniest thing on TV!

I need to get some clips from the episode of Buffy I was an extra in.

Thought it was a neat show - I only watched a few episodes - Really liked the film. Paul Rubens was hysterical.

30Rock is a great, GREAT show.

I forgot about that one. But they keep having these shows that just rip me apart emotionally.

Susan has every season of both Buffy and Angel on DVD. You can peruse her collection. Which episode was it?

I was sold on Buffy in the episode (I think it was first season) where a zombie regenerates and Buffy makes a comment to the effect of "I've SEEN the movies" as she stakes him a second time. The comic relief of the show is part of what kept me interested (I normally don't like the "horror" genre - you've seen one zombie, you've seen 'em all).

It's season 2 episode 2 - called "Some Assembly Required" - some dead football player Frankenstien type dude is trying to assemble a "bride" from some cheerleaders. I'm at the football game when someone gets kidnapped and everybody looks concerned.

derail over.
