    I asked friends/family to pick up the first 4 seasons for my upcoming birthday, and they saved money too. ;)

    Yep. The ratings were also low due to the show being moved around what seemed like EVERY WEEK. I was lucky enough to catch one episode randomly after reading all the critical acclaim and was immediately sold on buying the DVDs.

    Other shows, which others have mentioned:
    It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia
    Law & Order
    24
    Heroes
    Dog Bites Man
    Family Guy
    ...and it's old, but I still watch News Radio on DVD all the time

    Apparently Showtime wanted to pick up Arrested Development but the creator Mitchell Hurwitz decided now to go through with it.

    An uncensored AD would have pwned all.

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is probably number 1.

    Moral Orel is also close.

    oooh I forgot all about Ugly Betty.. I don't watch it when it airs thought, I watch it on the ABC website at work on Friday morning.

    It's cheesy at times, but there is also some good writing in it as well.

    Net Flix.

    Here's what I watch:

    24
    THE SHIELD (not mentioned? HELL-Oooo!)
    Prison Break
    Lost
    Reno 911
    Curb
    Arrested Dev

    I watched season 1 of The Wire, but couldn't get into it. Shield is much better, IMO.

    Hmm, I noticed something after going through this thread. Is it me, or does no one watch any of those CSIs anymore?

    I don't see much network TV, so I tend to be behind on these things.

    Wow. Three pages and not a single vote for Battlestar Galactica. What a shame.
