More shows worth emulating

Dead Like Me.  I'm only up to episode 6, but I really like how it's getting deeper. And you can't beat the premise!

The Darling Buds of May.

Don't laugh.  Or do, when you watch the show, cuz it's funny.  But as I'm watching it I'm thinking how well PTA would work to play in a game based on it.  

No other RPG system in the world would work.  Not one.  But that's not why PTA would work so well; it would work so well because it's so damn good.

Yeah, Deade Like Me would be perfect! Too bad it got cancelled after only two seasons. Still waiting to see the second season though, it won't be too long for me now (a friend has it).

You could probably do a lot of interesting storylines with that premise!

Oh, another show already mentioned, Alias, I recently watched all seasons of it. I'd love to play that one!

Has somebody mentioned Oz? Otherwise I think that could be a lot of bad ass fun!

A new show I've given the kiss of death to, "Johnny Zero".  Great pacing, a great protagonist, some fight scenes, some comedy, and family drama.


Side note:
A couple years ago I jumped on the bandwagon for "Firefly".  Lasted less thana season.  At the same time, I fell in love with "John Doe."  At least that one lasted a full season...I'm convinced that "Alias" only survived my interest because I missed the first two seasons.

BBC America is running a soap called "At Home With the Braithwaites" that's ... well, it's a lot darker and edgier seeming than the few American soaps I've  been exposed to. Every character's Issue comes up in almost every show, though.
