Well, the best examples I've seen of alpha in tv I think that correlates best to the AM program is Ned Stark from GoT. He consistently does what must be done and just like what Shannon said sometime ago, from his experience doing the right/good thing is whatever will get you in the most amount of shit lol. Hence, getting his head chopped off.
I actually like Tywin Lannister, hes your guy if you're into hardcore alphas. If you guys have read the books you'll know that he encompasses almost every facet of alpha: he's brutally intelligent, he's extremely cunning, he was once a great warrior before he got old and won't let anyone get in his way. You're all in for some surprises in the GoT third season if you haven't read the books.
Also in the spartacus front, I'm a little surprised no one has brought up Gannicus. That guy is an alpha rockstar gladiator, he's too awesome.
Although not in tv but a movie, I saw Lincoln awhile ago and he seemed to be the perfect leadership alpha. Always very controlled, reassuring to his followers, compassionate but firm. Plus, if the Lincoln in the movie truly was like that in real life he had a very natural charisma about him that somehow made people WANT to be lead by him. That's what I call alpha, people want you to lead.
There's just so many ways in how alpha can be expressed...
