I'm with penny_lane_42 all the way across the board except on the re-watch. I picked Sports Night because I've been watching In Plain Sight , The Good Wife and Parenthood and realized three of Sports Night's leading men are in each of these shows (Joshua Malina, Josh Charles and Peter Krause. I haven't watched it since it aired, but I remember really loving the smart writing and excellent acting. I wish I had time for a re-watch, but there's too much TV on this summer!

Freaks and Geeks is fantastic and I also enjoyed the also short lived Undeclared which shared some of the same writers, producers and actors. Both series only lasted a season.

The Wire is gritty and real and beautifully written, acted and directed. The plots are intricate and the characters are fascinating. It's brilliant.

I really enjoyed Rome, too. It's well written and acted. Though the writers played a bit loose with the historical accuracy, it was still fascinating and gorgeous.

Oh, yeah, I've heard good things about Undeclared, too. *adds it to Netflix queue* 283!
