Justified got me to read a ton of Elmore Leonard.

The Clooney Catch-22 and the Tennant Around the World in 80 days convinced me to finally read those classics.

They’re not the source material, but I liked Fargo, Legion, and The Unusuals enough to read all of Noah Hawley’s novels.

Also, since I’m not talking source material, I will admit to having read every book with a Quantum Leap title and far too many Star Trek books. Many of them were glorified fanfic with an ISBN number, but there were high points.
