3) 24 Season 3
didn't you just finish watching season 1? You should start working on finishing season 2.
My vote is for Arrested development S1. God damn beyond funny.

My friend bought me 24 Season 2 a few days ago Jack(this guy has so much money, but at the same time is as gracious as they come), so that's why I asked for Season 3.
As to what I like. I LOVE DRAMAS. I do like Comedy if its done well and its funny(i.e. Sex and the City). I have never seen Six Feet Under, but HBO has never let me down yet. I do have to ask, since the series was created by Alan Ball, is the story as dark as American Beauty(which I was not that big a fan of).
I also love Sci-Fi if done well as well(Star Trek:TOS and Star Trek:The Next Generation).
I also LOVE shows that build on each other(like 24). Meaning shows where each episode plays off the next one.
What I Dislike
I hate shows with laugh tracks(a big pet peeve of mine...if I find it funny, I'll laugh I don't need someone to tell me when to laugh). I hate Reality TV. I hate dumb supercial comedies(The OC)

Then I would recommend Coupling (first 3 seasons out and the 4th is on the way) for comedy. Arrested Development is also a solid choice. Chappelle Show is great if you like skit comedy.
As for dramas, my recommendations are Boomtown, Homicide, Nip/tuck, Oz, The Shield and West Wing.

Do you like movies like Se7en and Manhunter or Silence of the Lambs?
If so try Millennium Season I
Chris Carter producton and every episode is like a 1 hr. movie.
If you like HBO series try OZ

If you like scifi I would suggest Stargate and Babylon 5. If you saw the stargate movie and thought it was so-so I suggest you still give the series a try. it takes on a different dymanic that sets it apart from the movie.
as for B5, just trust me on this one.

Everyone has different taste, but these are the tv shows I think are worth watching and keeping (as opposed to reselling):
TV shows:
Farscape
Babylon 5
The Black Adder
TV miniseries:
Gormenghast (BBC)
Pride and Prejudice (BBC version with Colin Firth)
I'm thinking of getting Red Dwarf for the holidays, but I've never seen it. A mixture of space show and britcom seems appealing to me though since those are mostly what I watch.
