It all started with 24 for me, about seven or eight years ago. It got me into the "too be continued" cliffhanger that made you watch from start to finish each season. Those first three years of 24 broke the ice for this genre, and although we all make fun of this show now - I think we should be honest and recall how we really felt those first few episodes, when you had to - had to - put on the next one. You couldn't wait. Those first three seasons of 24 kickstarted about a dozen series that my wife and I have watched over the years and I'll try to rank the order here, trying to recapture how much I really enjoyed the series at the time.


1. Game of Thrones
2. The Wire
3. Sons of Anarchy
4. The Sopranos
5. Dexter
6. The Walking Dead
7. Breaking Bad
8. 24 - the first 3 seasons
9. Heroes
10. Prison Break
11. Lost - the first 4 seasons
12. True Blood
13. Boardwalk Empire
14. The 4400
15. Sparticus
16. Jericho (counting only the one full season)
17. 24 - seasons 4 and 5


I think these are the only shows my wife and I have watched. We really watch no other TV but this stuff. It's easier to watch video when you have young kids, because you can't always tune in at 8 o'clock, and you have to pause a lot, etc.

If I think of one I missed, I'll jump in and add it
