Doctor Who!
No doubt about it either. Don't watch that much of new shows though, like Lost and stuff. Most of them suck.

My top three:
1.) Twin Peaks (Hence the avatar). I never got in to it at the time, but Amazon kept recommending it to me, bought the first series for fifteen quid, and fell in love with it. It manages to be funny, scary, dark and uplifting. It goes off the boil a bit halfway through the second series, but the ending is something else.
2.) The Wire. Hugely realistic (or at least I think it is, never having been to the mean streets of Baltimore). It takes a little while to get in to, as the story builds up over the first few episodes of a series, rather than giving huge and ridiculous cliffhangers at the end of every episode, but the payoff is fantastic when the action comes. The characters are brilliant, and there's no sense of 'the good guys' vs. 'the bad guys'; every character has his flaws and his redeeming features. My only criticism is that after watching it, every other TV programme seems fake.
3.) The Sopranos. Seriously, between this and the Wire, I want to live in the US just so I can get HBO and catch this stuff earlier. Again, brilliant characters, and a lot quicker-paced than the Wire, but there are brilliant moments throughout, including the final scene, which is probably my favourite TV scene ever.
I also enjoy(ed) Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Rome, Jam (seriously twisted, that one), Family Guy, American Dad...

Can't really call this a series but MythBusters. I can't get enough of those two's crazy antics.
Close second would be Ghost Hunters. (I just like odd shows like these)
Third would be Junkyard wars (even though they're not on anymore)

I also love House because I used to watch the old Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle when I was younger.
I liked Heroes but lately it has become too much of a soap opera with people dieing and coming back and time paradoxes up the bum.
Does anyone remember ReBoot? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108903/
I would punch my own mother to see that show back again.
Scrubs, though British Comedies are always brilliant (favourite British comedy is Yes, Minister/ Yes, Prime Minister).
HOUSE!
Other faves include:
Family guy
Ed, Edd and Eddy
WWE Raw and Smackdown
nothing else comes to mind at the moment

ReBoot was amazing. It got cancelled in the UK because the third season got very dark and twisted. The fourth season left the story on a cliff hanger of a similar scale to season four of Farscape, which is also a brilliant series. Pity the Peacekeeper Wars was so condensed...
