All the TV-shows are belong to me!

Good selection.

Add The Wire, Buffy/Angel, Breaking Bad, and I suppose Community is pretty good. Game of Thrones. It looks like most people have already posted my choices.

 

[solemnwar]

Boston Legal is pretty fun to watch IMO. I also like Bones... um... Star Trek: TNG... MacGyver... uh...

I don't really watch much TV ;w;

 

[Axolotl]

As people have said above, The Wire is probably the greatest TV show ever.

Also Twin Peaks, by David Lynch is absolutely amazing like the weirdest cop show ever meets the most deranged soap opera ever, and it's brilliant, except the ending.

The Prisoner is a great Sci-Fi/spy show that is very intelligent and very original. If you want to see a show all about individualism and totalitarianism where characters can casually reference Goethe and at the same time giant white balloons are used to smother people to death. If you like things like Evangelion then you should really watch The Prisoner.

Community is pretty damn good.

At least the first 2 seasons are, since episode 2 and 3 of the third season were so bad it scared me off entirely.

This.

On Season 3, watch Episode 4 : Remedial Chaos Theory - it makes up for the lackluster opening to the season and then some.

Thanks, I might do that.

 

[Risingblade]

Get Netflix, they have a bunch of old tv shows to watch.

 

[A BigCup of Tea]

if you like big bang and how i met your mother try rules of engagement

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

I recommend Top Gear, it's awesome and if you couple it with Minecraft, you get a pig.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

The IT Crowd
Sherlock (the new BBC one!)
The Inbetweeners
Peep Show
Spaced (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost before Sean of the Dead and Hot Fuzz)
Or something classic like Red Dwarf, Faulty Towers or Monty Python's Flying Circus!

Also the original series of 'The Prisoner' is superb... Great story!

And finally check out the 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' and 'Smiley's People' mini series'! They are gripping!

You're welcome...

 

[Andy Shandy]

Scrubs, Futurama, Lie To Me, Bones and Boston Legal are the ones that spring to mind immediately.

If you want to go back a bit then A Bit Of Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster (you may be seeing a theme here) and Fawlty Towers are all excellent.

 

[him over there]

The wire, The office, Metalocalypse and the IT crowd are looking pretty good. If you just want something to watch that may not be on tv any more but is really great check out Home Movies.

 

[ImSkeletor]

Trailer Park Boys first five seasons were hilarious so I have to go with that

 

[blizzaradragon]

Fullmetal Alchemist (NOT "Brotherhood", it sucks)

Sorry, but gotta disagree on FMA vs Brotherhood. I'll give you that Brotherhood started off worse simply because they essentially crammed in the first chunk of the story into only 13 episodes, but that was because many of the people watching Brotherhood either watched the original FMA or read the manga and already knew what was going on. After the initial 13 episodes Brotherhood really hits it's stride though, and the story of Brotherhood is completely faithful to the manga(which is a REALLY good story) instead of making up it's own story like the original FMA anime did(which was a good story until you compared it to the manga).

OT: It really comes down to what kind of shows you want to try. From the looks of your list you enjoy mostly sci-fi and primetime with some comedy thrown in as well, so I'd recommend Fringe for sci-fi, Lie to Me and Breaking Bad for primetime, and DEFINITELY watch Scrubs for comedy. Others that are out of left field but really interesting to watch are shows like Storage Wars and Auction Kings. They sound boring, but it's really cool to see some of the stuff they find and how much it ends up being worth.

 

[Launcelot111]

The only shows currently on TV that I recommend are Community, Parks and Rec, and Happy Endings (second season only)

As far as shows that aren't on TV anymore, I'd recommend Party Down, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, the Inbetweeners, Veronica Mars, and my all time favorite, Friday Night Lights.

EDIT: Also Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and all of FX's quality comedies (Louie, the League, Archer)

Get Netflix, they have a bunch of old tv shows to watch.

Can't use Netflix in Norway

 

[Ois]

Battlestar Galactica (new series) and Mad Men are pretty good

 

[Rubashov]

In the sci-fi/fantasy realm: The Twilight Zone, the X-Files, Babylon 5, Farscape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, and possibly Dollhouse if you can deal with some weird pacing. Community is a good comedy, and Breaking Bad is a very good drama.

 

[TyrantGanado]

You can get all 9 seasons of the X-Files for quite cheap these days. Sure the last tow or three seasons dip in quality a bit but it is definitely worth the investment.

And in a similar vein, try Fringe.

Anyone mentioned Misfits yet?

I'm quite enjoying that. It's Heroes, but with British delinquent youths. And less serious.
