What are your favs?

Mine are all pretty predictable - pretty much all of the HBO dramas to come out of the US (with a few other exceptions) in the past decade.

In no specific order (and there's probably more that I can't remember right now):

Dexter
Weeds
Californication
True Blood
Entourage
The Sopranos
Breaking Bad
The Office (UK)
Seinfeld
Boston Legal

And I've just started watching Six Feet Under, but I'm only in the first season so a little premature to call it a favourite (all though it's pretty damn good so far).

Always looking for more good shows though, so throw 'em out there.

It's called "ironic" cult following.

I don't "watch tv" anymore-I mean I seldom watch mutch on a regular basis. It's been years since there has been a show that I always watched week in week out.

In saying that I now just buy everything on dvd-the only annoying thing being that you have to wait for some of the best US shows but I'm so backlogged with stuff to watch it's not that big a deal.

I own the complete series (or am up to date with):

Seinfeld
Ncis
Law and Order:SVU
Dexter
It's always sunny in Philidelphia-great show, everyone should watch
South Park
John Safrans work
Flight of the Conchords
Monk

To name but a few.

No love for The Wire yet?

Some great shows here, but I'd like to give a firm '+1' to Community, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Breaking Bad.

Arrested Development stands head and shoulders above all other comedies from the past 10 years. Criminally underrated in its own time.

Awesome. Sounds like I need to check out Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Community and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (although I've heard mixed reports about this one).

I quite enjoyed Life on Mars too, although I couldn't get into Ashes to Ashes.

Another show I have at home at the moment (which I'm yet to check out) is called Pushing Daisies and I've heard only good things about it.
