The Decalogue, and it's not even close.

I would say Enterprise. I only watched the first episode when it ran on UPN. But when I watched more I really loved many of the episodes and was glad to have more trek adventures. I only wish more seasons were made.

"Undeclared"

If you liked or loved "Freaks and Geeks" you will equally like or love "Undeclared". It's much more comedy centric than F&G, but the characters don't get shorted.

The Shield. By far one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Firefly
Veronica Mars
Tru Calling
Undeclared

Weeds
The O.C.

All shows I never saw a single episode - at least for the first season - on TV, but ended up loving all of them.

Freaks and Geeks - I had only seen maybe 2 episodes back whenver it was on and barely remembered them. I bought the set and it became my favorite television show of all time, better than any movie I've ever seen, and possibly the greatest work of art ever produced by humanity. It's that good.

Also, the X-Files was a blind buy which was great. I'm only through Season One, but so far it is great. I've heard it gets better and better once I start getting into seasons 2-4, so I'm very excited.

And I started reading about Six Feet Under the other day. I don't get HBO, so I knew nothing about it when it was on, but the fact that it was created and some episodes were written by Alan Ball (writer of American Beauty) certainly captures my interest. Can anyone recommend this one as a blind buy?
