I really like The Dead Zone. They've come up with some interesting episodes and it's not the same every week. Most of the episodes are stand-alone. Except for in the 2nd season or maybe it was the 3rd, they had John start having visions of the end of the world and that's kind of been the random story line since then. When they have an episode dealing with that, then you kind of have to watch the previous shows dealing with it to understand what is going on.
