Hard to say.
I became addicted to series because it's not as long as a movie and it was easier to fit in our timeschedule.
So we could watch 6 episodes in a row for instance  ;D
I really love breaking bad..really... But come on: 8episodes and now we have to wait a whole year for the last 8 ones???? Really??? Maximum frustration here.
Mad men, still at the top of my list for so many reasons.
The 2 first seasons of The Misfits (You got to love that Rapture song they used).
Weeds had some good moments (especially when Andy blew all his money in arcade machines).
Then the Big Bang Theory for a good nerdy laugh and Modern Family for a good "I've been there" laugh.
The one that restarted my addiction for tv series a long time ago was 6 Feet Under. It's just so dense and rich + it really has a definitive and very moving ending (but you really have to watch the whole show to fully enjoy it).
I also like Curb Your Enthusiasm but that's because I was a Seinfeld addict and I just adore watching Larry David sinking into conflicts and problems.

Damn there are so many good shows...

My fav TV-Series:
Red Dwarf (hillarious english humour, over 20 Years old, but still funny (the 10th Season aired 2010))
Life on Mars
Dexter, Breaking Bad
as TV-Snack on the fly: Eureka and Warehouse 13 (not much thinking required, therefore very funny)
for a good laugh: Big Bang Theory (Sheldon is the best, bazinga!)

I also like Monk, Dr. House, and Inspector 'just one more thing' Columbo

I prefer buying the series on DVD rather than get insulted by that crappy commercial-breaks.

Oh yeah, I think the last series I actually tried to follow was A touch of Frost :)

My favorite series of all time is Bottom, the most brilliant comedie series ever made IMHO. I actually got that on DVD. That and Blake's 7......and Debiteuren/Crediteuren but that's a (brilliant) Dutch series.

Can't wait for Walking Dead to start!

really? probably one of the most highly anticipated series for me - which totally fizzled! never seen such boring characters in combination with lame screenplays before. this is supposed to be a zombie series, but all they do is hang out hang out (at that little house on the prairie) and TALK. even the writers agreed that season two was some kind of a letdown and they've promised improvement for season three, but i hardly believe them.
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

The Twilight Zone (All series, original, 80's, UPN series)
I've seen all the original episodes and I also received "the twilight zone companion" book which is nice if you're interested in the "behind the scenes" part of the show.
Not all episodes were great of course but what a trip!
I really love 50's Sci-Fi (Outer Limits for instance).
Never seen the "new" ones though, I should give it a try.
