Love Me Some Drama

The hour long television Drama has been fascinating T.V. Fans for years.  Do we like the intrigue, the character development, the complex plots or, perhaps all of the above?  These are my top 7. 

1.        The West Wing:  This show is so well done, so well-acted, and really I could spend years writing about its magic!
2.       Lost:  It is so well done that if you begin watching it you can’t stop.  For me, it became like an addiction and like an addiction it took over my life.  However, unlike an addiction, it is a time that I look back on fondly.
3.       The Good Wife:  This show is a continual surprise.  Each week it gets better, stronger, and more interesting.  Beginning with a fairly common cultural event, that of a political wife, standing by her man, over these years it has become so much more.
4.       Boston Legal:  This show started out a little dark, taking over for the Practice but, along the way it got to be known for the issues that it took on and the fine acting of an all-star cast. 
5.       24:  This show had some amazing action mixed with a complex and fascinating plot!
6.       NCIS:  This show gets better each year and I’m pretty sure that you can watch it 24 hours a day on one channel or another.
7.       Mad Men:  The award winning drama continues to thrill audiences.  This fine acted, peek into the life of the 1960s, shares both, popular and critical recognition.  Who knew that life on Madison Avenue was so intriguing?

A post to make up for the lack of one on Friday.
