No other show makes me sad, happy, scream & be sometimes grossed out.
Exciting plots, brilliant character development and truly emotional scripts with a phenomenal cast - what's not to like?
Very addictive T.V. series!. Funny horror and action. This should be number 1{way better than lost! }
Definitely one of the best shows over the last 10 years! If you haven't seen it you should start from the beginning and binge!

A show that follows the same formula for almost every episode that keeps every episode fresh and new thanks to it's interesting characters and medical cases.
An entertaining series with a genius doctor handelling life an death situations in his "own way" with late briliant theories - MatrixGuy
An original, funny, dramatic and addictive show, if you haven't watch already, DO IT!

Who needs a would be drama from some hack called Abrams when you can have a factual entertainment show called Top Gear.
Unlike Lost, Top Gear is still going strong since it's 2002 inception.
Jeremy, James and Richard have made amphibious cars, people carriers, Reliant Robin Space shuttles, rally cars, cheap police cars, VW Scirocco ads, caravan conkers, caravan trains and mobility scooters.
And you guys think that Lost is better than Top Gear?
The political correctness brigade has damaged many T.V. programes, however I'm glad to report that Top Gear is one of the few programes that's unharmed.

18 24
This is action and suspense at it's very best on T.V.. Jack Bauer kicks major ass, no one can ever beat him, old school action, best main character on a T.V. show ever, suspense is golden, each character, even some you expect to be generic are all diverse, unique and are always tangled or involved in the plot.
