Most addictive TV shows.
 
What are your most addictive TV shows? Show's that you watch but can't stop once you've watched a few eps.

Mine are:
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Homeland
Lost
Californication
Peep Show

24 is the easiest answer for me.

Lost, 24 S1, Breaking Bad, Homeland, and Terriers were all crack for me.

There are shows I like, but then there are those shows that I NEED to see what happens next. That doesn't mean these are my favorite shows, but they're designed to leave you on cliffhangers and such.

Breaking Bad and the first seasons of Heroes and 24 (the first season) are the best examples of this I can think of. Babylon 5 at points was this way as well.

Not exactly what you're asking but Lost Girl. I save the show and then never really have a desire to watch them. Then I watch one and I end up watching them all in a row.

Gotta agree with everybody about 24. My list also includes Person of Interest, Prison Break, Dexter and Game of Thrones.

If the desire to watch them over and over again decades after they aired.

Miami Vice and the Twilight Zone

MST3K
Batman The Animated Series
Power Rangers
Murder She Wrote (for me, anyways)
Mythbusters

Walking Dead. It's one of those shows where big stuff rarely happens. I enjoy it a lot. But I'm never satisfied when the episode is over.

The opposite would be American Horror Story. Stuff moves along and rarely lingers. They rush the story along and give us plenty of details.

That's a good list, but I'd add Game of Thrones to it.

Red Dwarf (seasons 1 through 5)--It was *my* Harry Potter during my adolescence in the early 90s. It was hilarious escapist fare with its fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun. Those PBS marathons were some of the most fun in my life.
