OK, my three favorite shows on TV right now are: 24, Lost, and My Name is Earl. I like them for different reasons. Earl reminds me of silly midwestern stuff I grew up with, lol, so I suppose it's a nostalgia thing. I love 24 and Lost because the plotting is fun and the characters, particularly on Lost, are done really well.
It gets me to thinking about how to make my characters and plotting more interesting in my books. It's good to think about why something grabs you and won't let you go. Why the plot makes you want to keep watching. Why you worry for the characters and hope for resolution. HBO also does a number of shows that have grabbed me, like the Sopranos and Six Feet Under. Different kinds of writing, humor, and aim, but all fun shows, and all well done enough to make me look closer at them.
What would I do without my entertainment? lol.
