Alias and 24 are not reality shows. Those are drama, or action/suspense shows.
Reality TV shows are supposed to be unscripted and involve cameras following real people or celebrities living their lives or living their lives in simulated situations. Some reality shows are The Real World, Cake Boss, The Biggest Loser and Survivor. See here for the various subgenres: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_show#Subgenres
So did you mean to say favorite live-action (non-cartoon) show or drama show?
Assuming you meant both --
I'd say my favorite live-action drama TV shows are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Warehouse 13 and The X-Files. I recently started watching Supernatural, and the original U.K. series Being Human so I can't say for sure if those are favorites yet.

I just realized, the shows that I listed as my favorite are actually the only live-action dramatic serial shows I watch (As in not anthology series like The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents). Most of what I watch are sitcoms and other comedy shows.
I noticed that I don't like dramatic live-action TV shows unless there is a fantasy/paranormal/sci-fi element to it
I tried watching Brothers and Sisters, Revenge, Nikita, and a few others, but I just didn't like them. But shows with a fantasy element always intrigues me.
Well, I'm not counting some Korean dramas that I watch. But then I only watch the comedy-drama ones.
