I would say The West Wing series 1-4. A bit gay but I absolutely love that show and I reckon if I watched those series a couple more times and read up a bit there would be very little I don't know.

Have to say you choose the best series' there, with the exception of a few episodes it was never as good after Sorkin left.  I adore the show as well

"I before e, except after c" is a mnemonic device devised to help students remember how to spell certain words in the English language. It means that, in words where i and e fall together, the order is ie, except directly following c, when it is ei. For example:

    * ie in words like siege, friend, thief
    * ei in words like ceiling, receive

However, in its short form the rule has many common exceptions, such as species, science, sufficient, ancient (where ie follows c) or seize, weird, sovereignty, vein, feisty, kaleidoscope and neighbor (where ei is not preceded by c). More exceptions are listed below. Various augmentations to the rhyme have been proposed to handle these exceptions.
