Lots of British TV. And the first season of Carnivale. Now the second season of Sleeper Cell, which is not living up to the first season.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

And the first season of Carnivale.
I LOVE Carnivale! I especially love how all the people look and feel like real people, and real people of that era. I think the casting is phenomenal. The second season gets a little crazy, but I still wish they had been able to continue the story.

What is even happening?
You didn't think the bloody-eyed zombies on Alias were close?
Lost is my first JJ show.

Awww...Alias. How I miss your inaneness and good wigs and costumes.

Re Lost, for me, it was the season one finale, when they didn't answer any of the questions they promised to answer.
This was when I dropped off the bandwagon. The producers effectively said "why should we show respect to the audience? Screw 'em!" with their empty promises, and that slap in the face completely negated the enjoyment I'd had of the series up to that point.
I've been watching more of Mythbusters and Animal Planet shows since the strike started thinning out network programs, and so have happily discovered David Salmoni. I refuse to watch reality programming on Network TV, though.

Alias. How I miss your inaneness and good wigs and costumes.
This. I loved pretty much all the actors (although Spydaddy most of all, with Spymommy and Sydney fighting it out for second place). And it was shiny and exciting and things went bang!
Also, Sydney had the best wigs evah.
And Sloan! Oh, I loved Sloan, and his fucked up relationships with the SpyFamilyRobinson.
But, yes, it was made of crazy. And whoever it was that said JJ Abrams' approach to continuity and writing himself into a corner was to send Sydney into said corner in a tight red dress and get her to blow it up? So. Very. True.
Still, I never stopped liking it.

My love for the show was cemented when SpyDaddy KILLED the guy, brought him back to life with the defibullator, then threatened to do it again unless he talked. Also "what's a spork?"

I stuck it out for the first season of Lost (the Kate/Sawyer stuff may have had a lot to do with that) and was waiting for the season premier the next fall but forgot to set the Tivo and then realized I didn't actually care.

Yes! Oh, Spydaddy! How I adored him!
Really, Vaughn-schmaughn, imho. Yeah, yeah, very pretty - move along. But Spydaddy! Made. Of. Awesome!
