The Best of Television: Your Suggestions?

I can see our tastes in TV drama differ; however, I am very interested in the kinds of drama or comedy that you like to watch. Because of the nature of shows such as "The Amazing Race" (reality TV), I would prefer to hear about fictional shows like the "Freaks and Geeks" we watched on Thursday.

Please post a comment that suggests a show you have found to be of good quality and interesting. If not, I will bring some others for us to see next Thursday instead.
