See Out Of Order if you can find it. It was an old Showtime series starring Eric Stoltz. Only ran for 6 eps but it was amazing.

Was all ready to say Arrested Development when I saw the thread title.
Only one I can think of right now really.

since Buffy and Angel were already mentioned im going to go with
Firefly
and if you were a fan of Buffy or Angel I would suggest Charmed....not sure how it ended cause I stopped watching it after a certain point but it was a pretty good show till the end.

I'd say Carnivale but I don't know if it would be your taste.

Most of the ones I'd put are mentioned already. Definitely The Wire though.
Otherwise, West Wing.
Alias is kinda goofy fun for the 1st 2 seasons before it started to go downhill (typical JJ Abrams)

No but I don't see the network just canceling it midway if thatls what youlre worried about.
Season 2 wasn't the best but it was still a great season to add to the series. I don't think they could churn out a "bad" season if you're worried about that too.
Why are you looking for "complete" shows?

Carnivale is awesome, but it was cancelled after the second season, so it is incomplete.
Wire, West Wing are two of the best things you'll ever have the privilege to watch.
Also Aussies some show called Underbelly thats meant to be great, is it?

Yeah but there won't be any more of it made, is what I think he's asking for. So not having to download a new ep each week etc.

So I can watch the whole thing in a few sittings.

Not what I meant, I meant complete as in they're not making anymore episodes, not necessarily as in they wrapped up the plot.

The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Street and The Sopranos come to mind. They are pretty obvious. I'm not sure whether it fits the billing or not, but Scrubs is going to undergo major changes, to the point where it might not even have the same name anymore. Does that count?

I would get straight onto The Sopranos if you really want to see one of the best, well, arguably the best TV serial drama show ever made.
I wish I could watch it again for the first time.

Babylon 5. There's stuff in the pilot episode that doesn't get resolved until the final episode (5 seasons later) - even though they really tried to wrap everything up by the end of the 4th due to concerns about not getting renewed.

That was such a bad programme. Not because of the low budget, but because whomever used to edit the episodes did a mish-mash job every week.
