1. Parker Lewis Can't Lose: Season 1. The comedy ran on FOX from 1990-1993, following the title character and his friends during high school.

Starring Corin Nemec as Parker Lewis.
2. Entourage: Seasons 1-5 box set. The HBO comedy, loosely based off actor Mark Wahlberg, about four friends in Hollywood. Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) is an up and coming actor trying to land parts in movies with the help of his friends Eric (Kevin Connolly, his manager), brother Johnny (Kevin Dillon, a B-List actor) and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara, driver/slacker). The strong cast includes Jeremy Piven as Chase's agent, Ari Gold and Rex Lee as Gold's assistant, Lloyd. Look for many Hollywood celebrities cameoing in the five seasons.
3. Eastbound & Down: Season 1. The HBO comedy based on Kenny Powers (Danny McBride), a former baseball player turned substitute physical education teacher. Produced by Will Farrell and Adam McKay, the series was just picked up for a second season.
4. Eureka: Season 3. The SyFy Channel program about a high tech community inhabited by scientists working to advance the United States scientifically. Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) finds himself in Eureka and is chosen to become the new sheriff. He finds himself preventing the people of Eureka from destroying the community and the possibly the world with these failed experiments.
5. Stargate Atlantis: Season 5. The SyFy program, a spinoff series of Stargate SG-1, follows John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and his military team, as they venture to different planets.
