Ah, TV shows. My big interest. Here comes a big, detailed list in no particular order.

NYPD Blue - although it waned in quality over the years you can't beat the Milch seasons. Sipowicz is one of the best anti-heroes I've ever seen; it was cutting-edge drama; had brilliant story-telling and great performances. (I think Jimmy Smits needs a CSI spin-off, don't you?)

Firefly - everyone knows how great this show is (almost identical to the reasons given above) and all the qualities that make it great just ooze out of Joss Whedon's work. I haven't yet seen Serenity, but I've heard it's excellent, so don't anyone go ruining that for me.

Seinfeld - classic comedy, inspired me very much so in my comedy writing with the ability to make stories out of nothing as long as your characters are solid. George Constanza is one of the greatest sitcom characters ever.

CSI: Miami - it was great for the first two seasons and rapidly went downhill when they tried to make it 'action-packed' to the point of stupidity (no, it wasn't due to Rory Cochrane leaving). So, while the regular character elements got stronger the rest of the show sucked. But I will always love seasons one and two.

Peep Show - don't let the name arouse odd connotations. This is a sitcom shot from people's POVs (giving the show its name), where you get to hear the two protagonists most embarrassing/funny/devious thoughts. Simple setup but made so funny through the situations and spot-on character portrayals. Best sitcom ever.

The Office: An American Workplace (UK title - The US Version) - far surpasses the original UK version (yes, I said it) with a better ensemble cast, character story arcs and some just downright sillyness. Shame it gets the old Seinfeld treatment in the UK (being on past midnight).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003-present cartoon) - better than I ever imagined it to be. Works really well as individual episodes as well as containing big story arcs. It's great to see some of the old comic stories be 'reimagined' too.

Spooks (MI-5 is the US title) - brilliant drama for the first three series, went downhill for the same reasons as CSI: Miami as they kept trying to up the action ante and left out the more personal stories that were the real key to the tension. Series 4 and 5 just saw it go too far away from the 'this could be real but is hidden behind-the-scenes' setup that worked so well earlier.

More may follow. You have been warned.
