Mine are White Collar and Spartacus. What are yours?
(Rules: no anime allowed. also no star trek)
By the way, I ask because I'm looking to get into more TV shows. And I'm not sure what's good. It's my opinion that most TV shows suck.
(of more help: i really like shows about criminals, con artists, etc.)
These are pretty popular and have some type of crime in them.
The Wire
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Weeds
I haven't watched it yet, but I've only heard good things about The Sopranos.
House - medicaldrama, hugh laurie is an amazing actor
How I Met Your Mother - hilarious sitcom
The Big Bang Theory - i used to enjoy this, but as of lately (this season) I've hated it.
NOVA
Dexter
Weeds
Spartacus: Blood and Sand
Eureka
Stargate Universe
House
Big Bang Theory
Dexter. <-- absolutely fantastic series. I am so surprised it is as good as it is, I was expecting maybe a quarter of this much entertainment out of a TV series.
Burn Notice. <-- same deal, smaller target audience.
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia <-- not really a TV "series" persay but it's damn entertaining.
If you like criminals/con artists, go with Dexter. You will not be disappointed.
Always Sunny is pretty good, though pretty untrue (they put like...South Philly 4 seconds away from Center City...wtf?)
Dexter = fucking amazing, you definitely need to watch every single episode. I'm waiting for the next season lol. I went through two seasons over a period of ~4 days
House = great show
The Office = good but seems to be getting a bit worse though
South Park = seen every episode lol
Family Guy = passes the time lol
Futurama = good
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia = good
Chappelle's Show was good when they made it.
I'm probably missing other shows, but yeah.

A TV show inaccurate for the sake of convenience?! You've GOT to be shitting me.
Let's see...
I've like watching the reruns of the show "Criminal Minds" as of late... some others would be:
Stargate Universe
Flash Forward
V
Reruns of House
The Universe (History Channel)
Pawn Stars (History Channel)
Taboo (Nat Geo)
Caprica
Project Runway
The Office
Deadliest Catch
Weeds
Seinfeld
I don't watch much tv. These are my favorite shows, but I hardly ever tune in for them knowingly. I usually catch re-runs.
The Wire. Damages. Fringe. Weeds. Nip/Tuck. Curb Your Enthusiasm. Futurama. How It's Made.
In no particular order...
House
Burn Notice
Family Guy
Futurama
King of the Hill ( Yeah, not too many people watch it /shrug )
I spend a lot of time watching various shows on HGTV, NatGeo and the History channel.
House
Burn Notice
My Name is Earl
Mythbusters!!!
Also, the Fox Sunday Night Lineup -- Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad. We won't talk about the Cleveland Show.
I try not to watch tv on a schedule, though, I found myself wasting too much time. I generally watch reruns.

Win!
I think the Cleveland Show is just as good as the others
You guys should try watching White Collar. It's the best show ever :) plus the pilot is amazing.

That's not saying much. Family Guy and American Dad are awful.

I think that's what I was getting at... none of them are special. I just use them to pass time :P
South Park is much better than all of those, its the best animated series.
Family Guy is funny sometimes. American Dad almost invariably makes me laugh. I think it's because of Stan and Roger. All of the other characters bore me.
South Park is definitely my favorite 'animated series', though. All of the others pale in comparison.

[edit]
Also, DS9 is great. I've seen random episodes on TV before, but I downloaded it and I'm watching it all the way through and it's great. Also, The Tudors is amazing, although I've only seen through most of the second season.
Weeds, Entourage, and The Office are the only shows I keep up with. How's White Collar? I've considered watching it.
Other than that I just watch whatever comes on CNBC...lots of good business shows and specials.
Is Weeds really any good? A bunch of you watch it, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it before
I watched all of season one of Weeds. It was entertaining at the time, but I remember seeing the first few episodes of season two and thought they were boring. Haven't seen an episode since.
Now, The Office is great.
Weeds is awesome. I remember the first couple episodes of seasons 2 and 3 were a bit slow, but worth watching.

Yeah it's really good, the 2nd season starts slow but the following seasons pick back up. It's definitely a dark comedy though and deals less directly with drugs as the seasons progress.
30 Rock
Dexter
Battlestar Galactica
Californication
Big Bang Theory.
Holy shit, Californication is fucking amazing. Completely ridiculous, which is what I love.

Well, no one told me about it, which is partially your fault (as shown)
It's amazing, but not one of my favorite shows, so it's not just my fault...it also happens to be the fault of EVERY OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET.

If you can read, I said it is partially your fault, which still holds true if everyone in the world is responsible.
you guys are dumb
I watched Black Hole Theory (I think?) last night, and wasn't impressed. Fake nerdy = retarded.

Big Bang Theory! It's meant for non-nerdy people, mostly, so it's kinda of expected that real nerdy people wouldn't like it as much. My parents love it.
