Probably the greatest thing ever written for TV. Having finished it recently, if anything even comes close to this in the future I'll be surprised.

Heartily agree with you, atob, about The Wire. Fantastic show.
I watch The Office, Scrubs, and Boston Legal, mostly, for currently running shows.
On DVD I enjoy Skins, The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, and Deadwood.
I also enjoy Top Gear, QI, Premier League Snooker, and any other world snooker shown on Eurosport, as well as anything with Stephen Fry in it, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
I watch other shows, too, but I'll try to keep the list not too long.

The Wire is very good. After spending many an hour watching adverts on FX for it between Family Guy episodes, I finally decided to give it a try, and was pleasantly surprised.
I also like South Park, Scrubs, QI, Fonejacker, Top Gear, Ugly Betty (don't judge me, it is hilarious), Law & Order, L&O:SVU (before it got all the fancy editing and soap-like plot), and Buzzcocks (when Amstell began presenting, I was called Simon for several years, due to our matching 'haircuts'. Funnily enough, they both got hacked at similar times too :D).
I'll stay up for hours watching snooker and tennis.
Also, I'm ashamed to say it, but I also quite like Heroes.

Well, I'm not a particular fan of the typical american comedy, british comedy appeals to me much more, so I love shows like Mock The Week, QI, HIGNFY, NMTB. Pretty much every show with a Top Gear presenter I've enjoyed, also everything with Stephen Fry. Coincidentally on the British tangent I also absolutely adore David Attenborough's nature documentaries, Planet Earth being my favorite.
Animation-wise Family Guy is my favorite then followed by Futurama, the Simpsons and South Park (in that order). I also like a lot of shows geared towards manly-men (Overhaulin', and also The New Yankee Workshop (what?)).

Ah! I haven't posted here when I know the answer!
Currently: HEROES. It ruuuules!
Also I like The Simpsons a lot, and Futurama (though that's not really a series any more, is it?).
House is good too, as is The Chaser's War On Everything. Oh, and I like Friends.

I'm more of an anime guy, but I tend to watch these whenever they're on the programme.
Current stuff:
- Friends
- Classic Simpsons
- British Top Gear (not the Australian crap)
- Iron Chef (Occasionally)
Old stuff that's not on television anymore:
- Futurama
- The Chaser's War on Everything
- Basically anything that appears around the time slots of those programs

I'm a humongous fan of The Office. Pretty much the only thing I watch on TV besides sports.

Heroes is so audaciously stupidly ridiculous I absolutely love it. It's just awesome, even if it pisses me off every episode. Any conversation about "The Hunger" sounds like an advert for crisps to me.
Also, Harry Hill.

Yes, greatest sitcom since Seinfeld I'd say.
I'm also a big Mighty Boosh fan, but the third season just aired in Aus and it left me mildly underwhelmed.
Also, taking a trip to the seedier side of my taste, I'm addicted to Cheaters. The voice over guy's forced innuendos are worth a show all on their own. It's hysterical if your in the right mindset.
