the only american tv dramas i watch are PRISON BREAK and 24.
i was wondering what other dramas are just as good?
i'm particularly looking for dramas that have unexpected twists.

i don't know, but is LOST and HOUSE good as well?
i've seen a few epsiodes of HOUSE, but it doesn't seem too interesting for me. maybe it's because i gotta catch up with every episode?

plz recommend some other tv dramas....
thanks for the help! =)

These are some of my favorites. Not a lot though since I don't watch much TV. There's so many reality shows now that I've gotten sick of television.

1. Law & Order: SVU (Tuesdays at 10 pm) Season premiere next Tuesday and I heard the storylne for it is really twisted. Here's a link to preview it. L&O: SVU
2. Heroes (Sp?) Mondays at 9pm
3. Army Wives (i dont think you'll like this. i think it's geared more towards women but i still think it's a good show, however the new season won't start until next spring)

Lost was good in the first season, but from the second season on they started introducing too many characters, too many backgrounds, and just the overall story arc on the island has slowed down to a snail pace. If you miss one episode you have no idea what's going on.

I like Ugly Betty. I've only seen a few episodes (I'm always out when this show's airing X_X) but it looks like a cute series. I liked the Office, but that's obviously been cancelled sleep.gif"

My all time favourite was Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. OH and Lone Gunmen (some x-files spinoff) but these are all over.... and what happened to the Pretender?
and the only show i'm watching right now is Heroes.

-Brothers And Sisters. Stellar acting, stellar script. Sally Field won the Emmy for her role in BS. It has bit of drama, I guess, but it does have many sarcastic humor, and it's fun, overall. I love it to pieces.

-Heroes. As awesome as it has been, I just don't see Heroes having 10 seasons or so. I think it's one of those dramas that are explosive in the beginning but then run out of surprises. However, I'm hoping that Tim Kring would prove me wrong.

-Grey's Anatomy. I'm not too sure about its recent developments where people are basically sleeping around. Particularly, the issue with Izzie and George has left me cold.

The new ones that I'm probably gonna be tuning into is Dirty Sexy Money (Peter Krause is simply unmissable), Pushing Daisies, Private Practice (I'm a HUGE fan of Addison, tho I must say I'm disappointed they replaced Merrin Dungey), and Gossip Girl (too many similarities with OC, but I'm okay). I'm still undecided on Back To You, Carpoolers, Chuck, and The Reaper.

are you serious.. you didn't like House?
that's like my favorite
it's not one of those shows that you have to watch every episode ..because they solve the case each ep.
Heroes is good..as everyone said.
Grey's Anatomy is pretty good too. It has more "drama" in it than House, but they both have really cool cases.

psych - its about a guy (Shawn) who has photographic memory, but he told the police that he's psychic, and now he and his buddy Gus solve cases for the police (really funny show! def. recommend it to anyone!) Fridays at 9 or 10 i forget X_X

burn notice - a spy got burned, meaning that the higher up froze his account and stranded him in miami, he can't get out of the state or out the the country, during the series; he (Micheal Weston) helps people out by ex. protecting a man from another assasin etc... (while it may sound series its has a lot of comedic elements within it, it was also the surprise hit for USA network) Thursdays 10 pm

House - I love house (keep watching house!) Wed. 9pm Fox 5
Heroes - very on the edge-of-your-seat drama. Mon. 8 (i think)

isnt wierd, ive never saw one episode of grey's anatomy... but then again i like more medical/action/comedic shows...

But I think this is the last season..


why!!! I love love love this show as well!

Heros is good, but like someone mentioned, I don't think it have the potential to last for 10 seasons. But I really hope season 2 will rock everyone's socks off.. well, they better, cuz not only is season 2 so highly anticipated, the cast themselves did so much promotion for heroes!

Weeds is good as well. I actually prefer season 2 more than season 1. tongue.gif

ALot of people say House is good too, but I had not watch it.

I like watching smallville [my guilty pleasure!] & the finale of last season was explosive! but to catch up with all 6 seasons might be a little too much sweatingbullets.gif

Desperate Housewives season 1 and 3 are good as well. Season 2 was total crap.

My friend told me kyle XY is good as well. LOL. U can try that too!

well, if you want show-advice for the ones that are now on tv, i'll say my favs are;

-grey's anatomy: about doctors, ALL very dramatic, and it has twist always xD
-Lost: I loved first season, bored the second season, but I just freaking loved again the 3 season, and i cant wait until the 4th. !!!

Then, a show that have been cancelled BUT that is awesome and have A LOT of unespected twists; VERONICA MARS, one of my favs shows ever.

And, just to say it, these are just comedy-about, so the plot is not really like a drama, it's just fun and you really laugh & have a great time while watching -The Office & How I met your mother.

ps: i dont like house, it's always the same, it's really boring >.<

I've never seen Heroes before, and I feel so left out lol. Maybe I'll watch season two since I've got the gist of everything.

Desperate Housewives used to be soooo juicy and I would tune in every single week, but then it got really bad and I haven't religiously watched it since mid-season of season two.

Same with Grey's Anatomy, the first two seasons were nice, but now it's getting too repetitive. I still watch it occasionally.

Prison Break, haha, to be honest, I only watched it for Wentworth Miller. I don't watch it anymore before there's only so many seasons that you can stay in prison lol.

Lost...I watched the first and second season as well, and then it just got nowhere. Then the same thing for House, although the storylines are still good, I just don't think I really like medical dramas these days.

So basically what I'm trying to say is that I don't really watch American dramas anymore, but I still watch a lot of comedic shows like The Office, My Name is Earl (sometimes), etc. I'm not looking forward to the new batch of shows, they all seem so...Lame. Oh, and I watch Law and Order: SVU every week, I love that show. I guess it doesn't count though...
