How I Met Your Mother: Season OneHow I Met Your Mother: Season One
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.19
Recommendation: Entire series (on-going). A father (Ted) in the year 2030 explains to his children how he met their mother, starting in 2005. The series focuses on Ted and his friends as they maneuver through dating and relationships so we probably won't meet the mother until the series finale.
Bones: The Complete First SeasonBones: The Complete First Season

Recommendation: Entire series (on-going). A crime drama centered around socially disconnected Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, her forensic anthropology team at the Jeffersonian Institution, and her more "people-oriented" FBI liason Seeley Booth.

He is given the name Kyle, and with the help of his foster family, tries to understand the mysteries of who he is while trying to acclimate himself to a world that seems so foreign.
Friday Night Lights - The First SeasonFriday Night Lights - The First Season
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $12.75
Recommendation: Season 1. The 1st season was hands down, the best show on TV. This drama is so much more than just about football. It's about people and their relationships, centering around the Dillon Panther's Coach, his family, his players, and the loyal townspeople who support them. The 2nd season, however, I think has faltered.
Prison Break - Season OnePrison Break - Season One
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $8.44
Recommendation: Season 1. When his brother is sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, Michael Scofield sets off an elaborate plan to break him out of prison. Unfortunately they seem to have lost their footing in season 2 & it doesn't look like they'll recover in season 3. But season 1 is worth checking out.
