It sucks that you just missed the season by a week or two, but they have 5 seasons for you to catch up on. I find people who watch this how take it pretty seriously, especially for a reality show

Also check out Drawn Together (3 seasons all great), Strangers with Candy (first season was perfect, last two were disappointing and on par with the movie if you seen it), Weeds (I enjoyed all three seasons), Scrubs (has tons of seasons, the current of which may be its last one), Freaks and Geeks (and Undeclared if you liked that...both of these only have 1 season though but they are considered great), Avatar the Lost Airbender (three seasons I think, but VERY addicting and well written), King of the Hill, and then there is always the first 9 seasons of the Simpsons (seasons 3 and 4 being my favorite).
