As far as tv shows ... my favorite recently:
How I Met Your Mother, Entourage, Californiacation, 24, and Life (the lead red head from band of brothers).
FWIW, I didn't mind Cloverfield.
I used to like Entourage a lot as well. Although, recently I have started to falter on it a bit. It is way too predictable for my tastes. I love the characters and cameos; thats what keeps me watching.
As for Cloverfield. I like movies that make you figure stuff out, but I don't like movies that don't give you enough info to create a reasonable explanation. There was just way too many gaping holes in Cloverfield, poor character development and pretty crappy special effects, IMO (besides those little bug creatures). It seemed like Abrams tried to get away with some things that you can do in a television series, that you can't do in a movie.
The Office is great too. Steve Carrell is a comedic genius.
