Some recent TV shows
Consider this a disservice: after my marathon viewing of the last 30 discs of The West Wing, I think I've tamped down my TV habit for a while, so I thought I'd share what kept me from doing anything rewarding with my free time.
Friday Night Lights: Season 2 ➤
The team's future hangs in the balance in the second season of this hard-hitting NBC sports drama as coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) prepares to leave Dillon for a college-level coaching job at Texas Methodist University. Unchanged in her thinking, his pregnant wife, Tami (Connie Britton), holds firm to her decision to stay behind with their daughter Julie (Aimee Teegarden) to raise the new baby, forcing Eric to move to Austin alone.
John from Cincinnati ➤
In the quiet community of Imperial Beach, a tormented family of pro surfers is thrown into conflict by the sudden arrival of two strangers, a young Midwesterner (Austin Nichols) who wants to learn how to surf, and a man with a hidden agenda and dark motives. Created by David Milch, the man behind HBO's "Deadwood," this moody oceanfront drama also stars Rebecca De Mornay, Luke Perry and Bruce Greenwood.
The IT Crowd: Series 2 ➤
The inaction continues in the second round of this BAFTA-nominated British comedy that follows the desperate lives of three miserable members of an IT support team employed at Reynholm Industires. The show's sophomore season finds a new boss (portrayed by Matt Berry) shaking things up, Moss (Richard Ayoade) signing up for a course in German cuisine and Jen (Katherine Parkinson) landing a promotion.
Lost: Season 4 ➤
The diverse band of castaways continues to fight for survival on an island replete with mystery in this critically acclaimed TV series. As more information about the characters' lives surfaces, the dangers on the island relentlessly challenge them. The ensemble cast of this Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning drama includes Michael Emerson, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan, Daniel Dae Kim and Terry O'Quinn.
Wonderfalls: The Complete Series ➤
In a small gift shop adjacent to the magnificent Niagara Falls toils Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas), a highly intelligent Ivy League grad whose parents have invested all their hopes and dreams in her. Much to their chagrin, all Jaye wants is to work as a clerk at the store, until unexplainable events -- such as lifeless objects speaking to her in secret -- remind her that she may actually be destined for an offbeat kind of greatness.
Boomtown ➤
This acclaimed series about a group of L.A. detectives (Donnie Wahlberg, Neal McDonough and Mykelti Williamson) puts a unique spin on the typical police drama. Each crime story is told from several points of view -- the victim's, the perpetrator's, the rescue team's, the district attorney's and the media's -- all presented out of sequence, leaving viewers guessing about the facts of the crime until the very end. Includes all Season 1 episodes.
Leverage: Season 2 ➤
Follow the high-stakes exploits of former insurance agent Nathan Ford (Timothy Hutton) and his team of thieves, hackers and grifters as they use their talents to help innocent victims win justice against ruthless corporations and faceless government agencies. In this sharp drama's second season, con artist Sophie (Gina Bellman), gadget geek Alec (Aldis Hodge) and the others must push their skills to the next level in a new round of cases.

30 Rock: Season 1 ➤
Tina Fey stars as Liz Lemon, the lead writer on a television variety series à la "Saturday Night Live," in this Emmy-winning workplace sitcom co-starring Jane Krakowski, Tracy Morgan and the scene-stealing Alec Baldwin
. When brash network executive Jack Donaghy (Baldwin) arrives on the scene to pep up the show, he unnerves the cast and crew with his meddlesome ways -- among them, hiring a whacked-out movie star (Morgan).
