Firefly, first of all if you havent seen this its understandable there were only fourteen episodes filmed. Second of all every producer at fox needs to die because there were only fourteen of these filmed. DVD sales and movie tickets to the compilation movie that finished the series. made more money than it cost to film all of them. There are more fans of this show/movie than almost anything. This is because one episode or even just watching part of the movie gets everyone addicted the show is pure genius. No spoilers because I will not ruin it for you WATCH IT HERE!
Game of Thrones, As for HBO and such shows (the ones that can show skin and drop F-bombs) nothing compares to the fantasy period piece Game of Thrones. The show is a hardcore magic, dragon, elves (I think), incest, intrigue Fantasy. That takes the entire first season before you realize how strange it is. The character development and billions of subplots make every episode a mini-movie and the actors are so good you don't know who to root for.
Cougar Town, Ignore the name! because the creators do this show is friends, only in our time period and located in any-town USA. Plus the age range is made so that college freshmen through middle aged people have someone to connect with. The reoccurring jokes and powerful chemistry makes you believe that these people are best friends in real life and the show is just filmed without them knowing! If you havent watched Please Please do you will not be able to stop laughing. WATCH IT HERE!
Futurama, Another comedy and a cartoon? yes but this show may be the smartest on the list. Made by, and im not kidding, a mathematician, scientists, and then comedy writers. So yeah smart. For those of you that watch big bang theory for numor (nerd humor) thats kid stuff Futurama has made two separate languages on of which is a cipher. the include mathematical jokes that the people from xkcd would be hard pressed to get, and in a recent episode they published a brand new mathematical theorem. plus it is a perfect parody of the future, the ultimate picture of our failing reality, all in a comedy that will keep you rolling.
House/NCIS they are the same, yes one is a medical version of sherlock holmes and one is the cop version of friends but both are relationship focused dramas that do not ignore their genre. The medical mysteries and disease ridden filler characters are there to push the story along but fans keep coming back for the relationships our favorite characters keep screwing up. Ziva and Tony? Cuddy & Greg? Gibbs Abbey THIRTEEN?
