My favorite TV-series

This week's topic is our favorite TV-series. Recently I find myself in fron of the TV quite often. We have two channels which mostly show only series, they are Fox Life and Sony Entertainment Television. They show the same series but different seasons and episodes. It has happened that combining the two channels I can watch fo example Desperate Housewives all day.
When I was sick some time ago and skipped school, I watched Grey's Anatomy for 6 hours in a row. My favorite series are all kinds of medical series: Grey's Anatomy, ER, Dr House, Private Practice. I also like Desperate Housewives, According to Jim, Borthers&Sisters, Ugly Betty, Army Wives and one Estonian series called Pilvede all (Under the Clouds). As you can see, I watch a lot of TV. Shortly about all of them:

Grey's Anatomy is my absolute favorite! Complex relationships and lots of medical diagnostics and that sort of stuff. Sometimes I do get annoyed by how they talk to each other. If you've seen Grey's Anatomy, then you know what I mean.
Private Practice is a sister-show to Grey's Anatomy. These two have the same writer Shonda Rhimes. Private Practice concentrates even more on the relationships then GA.
ER has been in production for more than 10 years. I like it because it a bit more medical and serious than the previous two. ER is made in Chicago and sometimes they show the streets or just some places and then it feels very good to say that I've been there.
Dr House I haven't met a single person who says that they don't like Dr House. It's fun and it has good humour. The episodes are very much alike by their structure in my opinion. That I wouldn't watch for six hours in one day.
I'll skip Desperate Housewives because everybody knows what I would be talking about!:D
According to Jim is a fun half-an-hour show. I usually hate those series which have voiceover laughing but they jokes in this one are actually good!
Army Wives talks about the lives of the wives of the American soldiers who are in Afganistan or Iraq. It's very heart-warming and sometimes utterly sad. The waiting and missing their loved ones is very well acted.
Brothers and Sisters tells a story about a family whose father died and left the family a big mess to deal with meanwhile the 5 (grown-up)kids have to deal and move on with their lives and they all have a family business to run. Again, a real tear-puller, I don't think there have been many episodes during which I haven't dropped a tear :)
Under the Clouds talks about the lives of three sisters. They don't know who their father is, so they're searching for him. One of the sisters is a OB/GYN (women's doctor) who always keeps meeting men who are already married. The second one is a housewife who recently had a miscarriage. The third one is an interior decorator who now works as an art teacher and I think she's lesbian (but I'm not sure:D). In the picture from left to right: the housewife, the art teacher and the OB/GYN

 

Well, this post is utterly long but I hope you can manage. And FYI (For Your Information), in Estonia all the tv-series which are imported (not made in Estonia) don't have voiceovers. We have subtitles and this probably is one of the reasons why we have good English. I have to admit, I haven't seen any of the movies you wrote about. But my movie preferences are similar to my TV-series' taste.

I can't wait for your posts!
