Noelie Wrote:Studio 60 is my favorite thing on TV. Followed by House, Nip/Tuck, and the British series Afterlife. Also Dexter, but that's a cable series so I'm not sure it counts on this list. 
Dexter was absolutely great, especially the early episodes where he was explaining how difficult it was to "act" normal.  I actually ordered the book (written in 2001) because I liked that show so much.
Only partially in order...
1)  24 (best show on television)
2)  NCIS (character interplay, including Illya Kuriaken)
3)  Dexter (didn't think I would like it, but it stuck)
4)  Heroes (it took awhile, but it grew on me)
5)  Surface (I don't know why, but I liked it)
6)  The Closer (Thank youuuuu!)
7)  CSI:  Miami (I like bright colors)
8)  Lost (hated it at first, too - but it grew on me)
9)  Battlestar Galactica (I gotta have a Sci Fi show in here)
10) Bones (once again, the character interplay).
I will probably want to amend the list later.  I used to like Alias, House, the Shield, and some others -- but they kind of went downhill in the most recent episodes.
