I've recently started downloading and watching a show called House M.D. It's a medical show (bad), but it has Hugh Laurie as the eponymous House (good!). Hugh Laurie has an American accent (bad), but also stubble (good!). The show can be a little mawkish in an American way (bad), but is usually very snarky (good!). It's got Robert Sean Leonard who was good in Dead Poet's but nothing else, ever (bad). His character is House's best (only?) friend and is surprisingly layered (good!).
Overall, I'm thinking the good! outweighs the bad, but your mileage is your concern. For a limited time only, I'm going to send the fifteen episodes so far on dvd to anyone who asks.
This is because sending things to Meagan has really revived in me the pure joy of pimping. "Pimping" is the technical term for the jumping-up-and-down joy of sending cool things to cool people who appreciate them (contrast with giving shows to erm, well, you know who you are...). Meagan not only watches things, but she gives feedback! She asks for more! It's like the good old days of sending things to my online (imaginary) friends and then chatting with them about it. When it works out well, pimping is just so cool.
While Lost and Superboy are on hiatus, it's nice to have something to fill the gap. I mean, aside from anime. My weekly anime list is only: Bleach, Gankutsuou, Kyou kara Maou, One Piece and Sukisyo. And Gundam Seed Destiny. And Monster. (And the rest... *facepalm*)

If I may just shill for the pimpage here, House MD is surprisingly good. It's possible the format - patient comes in with strange condition, doctors argue about what it could be, doctors follow false lead until they suss it out at the last minute - could become a little stale, but the performances are engaging and the scripts are witty. And Hugh Laurie is excellent as the grumpy bastard doctor with the Bigg Brane.
