1. Northern Exposure - I loved this show when it was originally on, and it's one of my favorite TV shows ever. It's fun, it's funny, it's got great characters, it's got great plots, I really can't praise it enough. It's one of those shows that makes you feel good after watching it more often than not.



2. Alias - If you like the pacing and twists in Prison Break then you'll love Alias. The first two seasons were the best, and I admit it took a downhill turn in season 3 when they started focusing too much on the romance (IMO), but it was still decent. The last season sucked, but it at least wrapped things up.



3. Desperate Housewives - I like this show because it has a really dark, sharp sense of humor. It's not to everyone's taste, but it's fun and a guilty pleasure. Andrew VanDeKamp is a great semi-villain, and they've had some good actors, like Kyle MacLachlin.



4. Dead Like Me - another smart, funny show. I really loved its take on office life, and the idea of grim reapers as drones just doing their jobs. The characters are fleshed out well, and they're all interesting. I can't believe Showtime canceled it.



5. 24 - It's got some fast pacing, like Prison Break, and some unbelievable stuff, again like Prison Break, but it moves so quickly that it's easy to forgive. There are plenty of plot twists as well, if you like that kind of thing. The early seasons were the best, I kind of lost interest around Season 4. Still, it's mindless fun.



Also, it's not coming out on DVD until August, but if you haven't been watching Heroes than I can't recommend it enough. One of the best shows out there, really.

1. 24- once you start watching this show, its very difficult to not finish watching each and every season. Believe me its very addicting show. I started like 3 months ago with season 1 and i haven't watch any movies so far because of all the tension and the anxiety of watching the complete 6th seasons and catch up for the 7th season coming up in january!! ( right know im watching season 5). Oh and i give you an advice: DONT READ ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING OF 24! you might get some spoilers about the show ( which is so unpredictable sometimes that you'll see a lot of surprises) so i really recommend you this show, everyone at home had been addicted since i rented season 1.



Thats the only one i can recommend because i really like it,enjoy watching it, it really builds suspense and it really hasn't dissapointed me yet....

1. 24!!!!!!!!!! The most awesome show on TV ----- outstanding, done in real time, Jack Bauer is the quintessential federal agent...action, suspense, drama, thrills......absolutely OUTSTANDING, start with season one and keep watching, once you start it will be hard to get any sleep because you will want to stay up all night watching them - I speak from experience.

2. Alias is pretty decent - a lot of action and suspense.

3. The Unit is pretty good - mixture of action and drama.

4. House is a good show - he is an extremely sarcastic, yet brilliant doctor.

5. Northern Exposure is older, but it was really funny when it was on - from what I can remember.

THE OFFICE! It is very good. You need to give it some time...it gets better belive me. It's the best show on TV

Despeate Housewives is a little to complex to start watching. It's a chalenge if u r up to it!

Earl is good, but I wouldn't rent the DVD.

Good Luck!

P.S. Simple life isn't worth it!

1.Nip/Tuck- It's sexy, full of drama and the different story lines are great.

2.House- Dr. House just makes me laugh. And all of the different cases are very interesting.

3.Carnivale- I never saw it. But I always wanted to. It looked really cool.

4.The Simple Life- Paris and Nicole just make laugh.

5.24- I never really got into it, but you might like all of the suspense in it.
