- CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student in order to secure his family's future.It took an amazing show to unseat The Wire in position #1. Breaking Bad is that show.
- CreatorDavid SimonStarsDominic WestLance ReddickSonja SohnThe Baltimore drug scene, as seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement.Best ever. No corner left behind.
- CreatorJ.J. AbramsJeffrey LieberDamon LindelofStarsJorge GarciaJosh HollowayYunjin KimThe survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.Lost is the mothership.
- CreatorChris CarterStarsDavid DuchovnyGillian AndersonMitch PileggiTwo F.B.I. Agents, Fox Mulder the believer and Dana Scully the skeptic, investigate the strange and unexplained, while hidden forces work to impede their efforts.I had to process some of my "creep burden" in order to navigate my way through the story each week. The X-Files took over my world; in a good way.
- CreatorBeau WillimonStarsKevin SpaceyMichel GillRobin WrightA Congressman works with his equally conniving wife to exact revenge on the people who betrayed him.I love the relationship between Frank and Claire Underwood. These are adults, with adult relationships, emotional sophistication, grasping and expertly manipulating power with others.... and each other.

Which monster will him to the farthest edges of the dark wild, where the pretense of incorrupt is served at last over a menu of the leavings of butchery?
- CreatorJoseph WeisbergStarsKeri RussellMatthew RhysKeidrich SellatiAt the height of the Cold War, two Russian agents pose as the average American couple, complete with family.Edgy, intensely personal, sexy and cerebral. Renewed for two final seasons, Season 5 in 2017 and Season 6 in 2018.
- CreatorDavid MilchStarsTimothy OlyphantIan McShaneMolly ParkerA show set in the late 1800s, revolving around the characters of Deadwood, South Dakota; a town of deep corruption and crime.They rushed the third season and traded season four for an ill-fated offer of two 2-hour movies to complete the story, promised in return for Milch's transfer to another project. So disappointing. So much excellence kicked to the curb. The series ends without finding out what the Old West was going to become when the bad guy broke them, then rode out of town.
- CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.

- CreatorKurt SutterStarsCharlie HunnamKatey SagalMark Boone JuniorA biker struggles to balance being a father and being involved in an outlaw motorcycle club.This series grabbed me from the first episode. A different way of life is fascinating, and this series captures it as the characters live it. Fresh writing. Tight direction. Cast is mighty.

- CreatorPaul T. ScheuringStarsDominic PurcellWentworth MillerAmaury NolascoA structural engineer installs himself in a prison he helped design, in order to save his falsely accused brother from a death sentence by breaking themselves out from the inside.The script required a certain amount of suspended disbelief, but the production values, script/story/character deveopment, casting choices and acting were spot on, and kept me totally engaged. Plus, Wentworth Miller is a babe.
- CreatorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardUsing a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.Cranky, brilliant, maverick cool.
- CreatorDavid ChaseStarsJames GandolfiniLorraine BraccoEdie FalcoNew Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling.Ohhh..... THIS is what good TV can do.

DaviesStarsGale HaroldHal SparksRandy HarrisonBrash humor and genuine emotion make up this series revolving around the lives, loves, ambitions, careers and friendships of a group of gay men and women living on Liberty Avenue in contemporary Pittsburgh, PA.Lots of yummy gay sex in a serial TV series about real men and women and their complicated lives. Snarf.

Enterprise-D on its own mission to go where no one has gone before.Saw every episode but one, in the final season. We were moving and didn't have cable yet. I couldn't even set the VCR.
- CreatorJeffrey Grant RiceStarsDarren McGavinSimon OaklandJack GrinnageCarl Kolchak is a reporter for a Chicago newspaper. Through more accident than design he ends up investigating homicides, many of which involve supernatural forces. Ultimately, rather than reporting on the crimes, he solves them.Chris Carter watched Kolchak when he was younger and cites this show as an influence for his creation, The X-Files
- CreatorEd SpielmanHerman MillerStarsDavid CarradineRadames PeraKeye LukeThe adventures of Shaolin Monk Kwai Chang Caine as he wanders the American West armed only with his skill in Kung Fu.The philosophical segments with the master were riveting as a teenager. My father was a little mystified.
- CreatorStephen J. CannellStarsRobert BlakeTom EwellEdward GroverThe cases of maverick undercover New York City detective Tony Baretta (Robert Blake).He had a parrot on his shoulder, and a floppy hat. Never mind what the actor did later. Vintage 70s.
