I just remembered, that if you guys really enjoyed the X-Files, you could check out Fringe. It’s sort of the X-Files spiritual successor. It has that “Creature of the Week” feel while having a really strong over-arcing plot. I really enjoyed the first two seasons that have aired so far.

Mad Men is just superb: watch it next. I need to see what Dexter is all about, but in the meanwhile you really owe it to yourselves to see Golden Girls (at least Seasons 3-5) and Miami Vice (Seasons 1-3).
Alias is also a pretty great show; it preceded Lost (which I’ve never seen).

I reluctantly revise my previous criticism. Alot of people like LOST, I do not. Way too much craziness with little direction.

The Wire is AWESOME!!!!! But beware. Season 2 is a little disappointing. I’ve heard 3 and 4 get better again, but I haven’t got there yet. Season 2 was apparently during the writer’s strike.
Other shows you will love- Man Men (great!), Dexter (probably my favourite show ever), (True Blood (saucy), Six Feet under (if you didn’t watch it first time round, I suggest you watch now. I watched all four seasons in a month using Netflix- delivering DVDs not online). Infanger has been told SEVERAL times to watch Dexter.

Dave clearly doesn’t know good television when he sees it (or hasn’t seen since he didn’t give any concrete examples of why LOST is not excellent). I will admit it’s not for everyone and it takes a little bit of effort on your part to get the most out of it, but I thought the payoffs were well worth it. Rent the first disc, if you aren’t interested, give up. No loss except for 3.5hrs, which there are worse things in the world.

Zane doesn’t know what he’s talking about. LOST sucks and is one of the most overrated shows on tv recently. Watch Rescue Me, great show, great characters, great acting… very very underrated.

I’ve made this suggestion a thousand times, but LOST is the best series that I have seen. It definitely fulfills your criteria of losing track of time and great character development. It waxes philosophic without beating you over the head with it and combines elements of action, drama, mystery, sci-fi, medical drama, and police procedural. The characters are outstanding and will suck you in in the first 3 episodes. I’ve heard it compared to The Wire many times with both sides stating they are excellent shows. If you liked the X-Files, you’ll probably really enjoy it.
