Tough one to answer. For current shows...
1) Alias
2) 24
3) Sports: NFL, NBA, NCAA football/basketball, etc.

I like the old Battlestar Galactica, but haven't seen the new series yet. Nor have I seen any of the others on your list. But Spooks and Lost and the Shield sound interesting to me.

Even harder to answer would be old shows! In no particular order, here are some great ones...
* The Saint
* Protectors
* Avengers
* Persuaders
* Maverick
* I Spy
* Get Smart
* Green Acres
* Bob Newhart / Mary Tyler Moore
* Everybody Loves Raymond
* Man from UNCLE
* Peter Gunn
* Rockford Files
* JAG
* Secret Service (old claymation about spy/priest)
* Star Trek Voyager / Next Generation

Wow, I guess there are a lot of good ones. I could go on and on and on! You can tell I like the spy/detective and sitcom genres. I'm actually having a lot of fun revisiting some of the older stuff. It's really great, and refreshing to see things a little simpler and generally more wholesome than the frantic and often lewd stuff that seems to show up these days.
