I just got caught up on 30 Rock and it's an amazing show. Don't let the first couple of episodes turn you off, because it gets really funny afterwards.
Got a tip for us?

I've never been so drawn into a television show...ever.
Comedy - Arrested Development
Free on hulu.com. If you prefer the discs, all 3 seasons are 28 bucks on Amazon US today as the deal of the day. Pretty funny story about a rich dysfunctional family.
Sci-Fi - Fringe
Kind of like Lost meets X-Files. This one really pulled me in as well.
Drama - Rescue Me
One of the most true to life shows of firefighters. This career runs in my family, so it seems so real to me.

Well, I decided to go for Entourage. It's a feel good show, which is always nice. It's quite witty, too. I'm just about to start season 3. It's great that the shows are only 25 minutes long.
+1 on Life
+1 on House (Find the second or third season episode when he gives the lecture about the three people with leg pain. Easily one of the best hours of television. Ever. No joke.)
Latest guilty pleasure is My Own Worst Enemy, which has only a few more episodes. Has a kind of an Alias vibe. (When Alias was good, it was awesome. The trouble is, when it wasn't good, it stunk something horrible.)

It's unavailable in the UK at the moment, but I can highly recommend HBOs Generation Kill - link is NSFW.
Nip/Tuck is amazing. The 5th season was "out there", but I'm hoping this next season is better.
That's the best comedy out right now.
That was an awesome show. I'm really hoping it comes back soon.
My father-in-law has that on DVD. I would have to agree about it being the best TV production ever.
I guess the thing that got me was the alien episode. I think my favorite season was season 2. I did like the twist they did with LA. The TV show they were on was awesome!
I'd go with:
Veronica Mars. Too bad it got canceled after it's 3rd season, still one of the best shows I've seen.
Battlestar Galactica. Best Sci-Fi. Ever.
Band of Brothers. Best miniseries of all time.

Life - Best US cop show ever, best show ever
Terminator: Sarah Connor chronicles - These bitches be crazy
Doctor Who(the UK version because its cut down in the US)
If you can find it "The Hollowmen" its an Australian comedy - BEST show i have ever seen - just find the first episode somewhere, you will love it.
drwho reminded me - UNDERBELLY - that is the most awesomest show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah... I forgot about her. She was really creepy. I'm ready for January 6th now.
I've only seen the first 2 seasons and they were awesome. I should probably start watching them again.
You need to be able to devote 'quiet time' to it. You need to have space to take in the subtle beauty to it. It's not something to scrunch pop corn through, it's serious and heartfelt.
The depth of the story lines and the characters is unbelievable. Michael C Hall (now does 'Dexter') plays a gay funeral director and it's one of the finest television performances ever.
It attacks a lot of issues and was groundbreaking for me. If any TV Series had an effect on my life, this is it. Best ending to a show ever, I cried my heart out.
If you're into Sci-Fi I also suggest
Firefly (1 season comprised of 14 episodes, plus the movie Serenity)
Eureka
Babylon 5 (5 seasons and 5 movies - absolutely great I'm still finishing up the 5th season and then moving on to the other 4 movies - the first one is the pilot)
Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles is decent but I mainly watch it for the longing for more of the saga back from the T2 days but it definitely doesn't measure up to T2 quality writing or acting.
Doctor Who is good as well, hopefully I can watch the new one on Veoh shortly after Christmas, I hate the US being 3 weeks behind.
Torchwood is good but I don't know if they're going to do another season anyone else know?
My Own Worst Enemy is good, but I do believe they just showed their last episode (only 9)
and I don't really recommend Fringe unless you have nothing else to watch (which is the reason I watch it) I've watched all the episodes on Hulu cause I work overnight on the weekends and it kills the boredom when out of things to watch. Also Sanctuary falls into this same category, I watch it but just to kill the boredom.
Outside of the Sci Fi TV category,
I like The Office, My Name Is Earl, Burn Notice and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
