I, like many of us, am continually disappointed by the total lack of intelligence and ingenuity on television but there are a few gems out there.
My favorites are (in no particular order)
Dexter
Pushing Daisies
Psych
How I Met Your Mother
Californication
Criminal Minds
Eli Stone
and of course some perennial favorites for me, The Simpsons and Family Guy

Tim, glad to see that our opposing views on "Seinfeld" don't define us as uh...consumers of telvision.

Hell's Kitchen
Mad Men
...and I'm sure the list goes on. BTW, did anyone see the pattern of Showtime series in there?
P.S. In my Netflix queue are Psych, The Wire, and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, which I've heard were also very good.Cory

pushing daisies is great,
how i met your mother was great, but now its in decline, its at the point where either the characters grow or become a caricature of themselfs,A man who has died with no regret is a man who is either a fool or a psychopath,
There are things you can not apologize for, the ability to carry the consequences for your actions is the mark of a true man,

No. An example of that would be bad television. Originally Posted by OldSaw

I don't watch much TV but I do try to catch House every week.
Of the few episodes I've seen, Mad Men is quite good.Dan

NCIS - just pure storytelling
Life - best written TV show available today
Law & Order - a bit long in the tooth but still worth watching, new season in Jan.
Corner Gas - a comedy classic from Canada (on WGN Chicago)
We still watch CSI but the scripts, beginning last year, have not been good and the cast looks like they are just mailing it in.
New shows I'm trying out:
Fringe - mad scientist inventing solutions every episode, pretty girl lead, just fun
Eleventh Hour - eccentric scientist solving crimes for the FBI, so far so good
The Mentalist - ex-charlatan psychic solving crimes for the Calif. Bureau of Investigation, so far so good
Looking forward to:
Leverage - with Timothy Hutton
L&O Criminal Intent - with Jeff Goldblum joining the cast

30 Rock. Great Acting. Great Writing. Very Entertaining. Best thing on TV, at least until Scrubs comes back on.

The Unit
Pushing Daisies
Mad Men
Life - Dexterous, Life is excellent but Mad Men has much better writing. Life is more about the twists of the story.
Lost (when it returns)
Law & Order (all of them)

I watched the first two teaser episodes of Crash last night available on Direct TV VOD or Netflix VOD. They look promising; unfortunately I just dumped my Starz/HBO subscription. Guess I'll have to wait for DVD's before seeing anymore.
Also I really like Rescue Me and the first couple seasons of The 4400 were pretty good (gotten kind of lame lately though). Other than that I don't watch too much episodic drama TV. The Planet Earth series on Discovery HD was amazing.-Shep abides :cool:
That rug really tied the room together.
