What the show that made you love tv?

[Sawyer]

Mine would be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Before that, I didnt watch much tv, and Buffy basically raised my expectations of what a tv show could do. The cast was amazing. It spawned nearly a dozen of spinoffs (only one actually made it into production, but thats not the point). Its the only show I know that has done a musical, a silent movie and even killed off their main character. And also, it managed to inspire many other shows like Smallville, Veronica Mars, Grey's Anatomy, Alias, Dead Like me, etc.
