Oh my....that almost makes me scared to answer!
Well - my current favorite show has to be Supernatural. I only started watching it in the last few months - but I own all five seasons that are on dvd and will buy the 6th as soon as it comes out. I like the show for many reasons....they're willing to make fun of themselves and/or spoof others....they're willing to take on topics like the apocalypse, Lucifer, what a soul is worth, etc. Last night's episode was hilarious - it was the third time they've gone back in time (the first two were to interact with their parents..this time they went back to the Wild West...sound like "Back to the Future" at all??). Last night's show should be up soon at cwtv.com.
I also watch Castle, Human Target, Bones, Harry's Law and Chicago Code. I was watching Law & Order: Los Angeles but when they killed off Skeet Ulrich's character - I lost interest. I liked him as an actor. Oooh - and Dollhouse!
In the past my favorite shows have been West Wing (which I still rewatch a lot), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel (which I like more than Buffy), Studio 60, and Jericho. I will rewatch those fairly often - depending upon the episode.
Oh - and my guilty pleasure right now is Secret Life of the American Teenager. I'm also watching Survivor again.
What I find I like in a show though is character development. I want to see a character grow and change during the episodes. I also like something that is a bit....not intellectual....but well - has something to say at some point during the season(s)?
Aaron Sorkin is liberal - I'm conservative - and I frequently disagreed with his viewpoints on West Wing. BUT...the fact that they talked about politics...well..that was enough to make me think through some issues I'd never really thought about.
For me - never having been into horror stuff (and not planning to get into it)- Supernatural has opened my eyes with a lot of the myths/legends (mostly in the first season or two)....and I like watching the characters interactt with others.
Ok..now I'll shut up!
