Any one of those would have been a good choice.

Prison Break would have been the obvious choice. It may be a little absurd but no more so than Heroes or Lost. The characters are caricatures but it's non stop entertainment.

I can see why people dont like House. Personally, I think House is the cleverest of all the shows. The character of Gregory House is the best character in all of these series. Think of him like a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Fitz from Cracker. He's brilliant diagnostician but deeply flawed to the point of self-destruction. It's all done to what we feel is important. Do we want shows to be character criven or plot driven?
