Which series or shows are you currently following?

I always was a bit too curious for my own good, but I was wondering what kind of tv series people are following at the moment.
A few years ago I was actively following and interested in 10 different series. Luckily I managed to stop watching some of them and currently I am following 4 different series. They don't have to be shows currently running or airing on tv, for example one of my favorite shows has ended it's production about 10 years ago but I am now trying to collect all the available dvd's in the store.
If you want to share your favorite serie or show in this topic please explain in a few sentences why you like it or what exactly this show offers that made you a fan or interested in the end.
I'll start: (1,2,3 in no particular order, everything stated below is just my personal opinion. I am almost 25, but I really like cartoons even if they are meant for a younger audience group)
1. Danny Phantom : I've been a fan of this special series for about a year now. I did withdrew myself from the show between october-december 2006. But after that my interest has become bigger then ever before.
The characters are very likeable and some of them (For example Vlad: his past and current behavior and Danny: his motivations to become a hero and his character development) are very interesting. I also like the concept of the series, although it is not very likely that it would happen in our world, there a lot of similarities to be found and a certain degree of realism which make it very interesting and enjoyable to speculate and debate about.
All in all, DP is a real favorite for me and despite the fact that some episodes were disappointing and character development was not always present, the idea behind the series itself is great.

2. Avatar : Another great series for me personally. Just as with DP, Avatar has several very interesting characters (Aang, Zuko, etc.) This show fascinates me, not really because of the plot though, but because of the way it is presented. Even if the world this series takes place on is not ours, I still feel a sense of realism and attachment to it. I symphatize with the characters, I often find myself speculating which road the characters will take and Prince Zuko (as with Vlad) is IMHO a very interesting and intriguing person. There are times I really want to see Aang to teach him a lesson but there are also several moments which make me like him only more and were I feel real sympathy for him.
I love the action scenes in the show and most of the conversations. Although the Dutch Aang sounds sometimes a bit too 'enthusiastic for me', forcing me to turn the volume down. I've never heard the original Aang though, but I would love too.
---------------
3. Babylon 5: This serie is a five-season long science-fiction series originating from the mid-90's. This show, about a large space-station made by Earth in cooperation with other alien races and largely seen as the last chance for peace in the galaxy. The story is very deep, complex and exciting, with a lot of character development and a dangerous, powerful and mysterious alien race slowly revealing itself. I am currently trying to complete my DVD-collection for the series.
--------------
4. Ryusei No Rockman: A series I first thought I would hate, as it was entirely different then the Rockman series for me. In the beginning I just didn't know what to think about Warrock's head attached to Rockman's left arm and I found the side-characters somewhat weak design-wise.
Over time though I started to really like the series. I really like Subaru and his Rockman form. I don't entirely like Warrock though, but this is most likely because of the more human design of Rockman in Rockman-Exe, I find it somewhat of a big change. I like the animation style and some of the villains are pretty interesting (for example Cygnus Wing and Gemini Spark) I do feel they are introducing too many villains, they should just have focused on a few, no more.
The serie is nice to watch, but you have to like the design and the style of the enemies and some other characters. I really like Ryusei but I consider Danny Phantom a degree better because of the more interesting side-characters (his friends for example) and the presence of a real arch-enemy like Vlad Plasmius. Also, the 9-minute episode length can really hurt the show sometimes, I start to get this feeling more often lately.
Still, this matter was far worse in Beast+ IMHO, but I digress.
Also Ryusei No rockman has been licensed by Viz which was already mentioned on this forum. I am curious how they are going to handle this show.

Well, these are my series I currently am interested in. Do you want to share your favorite shows?
It doesn't have to be only tv-series, book-series for example are also great. I wish I could name one for myself. I haven't had the chance to read for some time but generally I like detectives, mystery and science-fiction.

).I also liked that the this the only anime that made me laughed a lot.I hope this anime could further continue a next sequel but I think it would be bad and could ruin the story.
