I like the black comedy + violent world of mobster + adult-drama series "The Sopranos", and it is my all-time favorite tv show. The "Lost" also intriguing, but slowly after second season the mysterious cult, the strange black smoke, and other series of unusual series of event felt forced along with the plot development. I am not sure would keep following into third and fourth seasons.

The best comedy-drama should be "Desperate Housewives". I rent the first/second seasons, which are great but i heard the quality of story deteriorated in later season, so i never follow up with the third season. Now i'm following the story of Jack Baeur in "24". It has plot that never run out of new twist, or lie or conspiracy. It suffered from several overly dramatic scenes and implausible stories. Still, it's hilarious seeing Jack Bauer threatening & interrogating a school girl to get information regarding her father cum terrorist.

I have to say....

True Blood. I LOVE the storyline. Of course, the books are just as good, if not better.

Dexter. Who doesn't love a show about a serial killer???? It's twisted and touching, and a bit scarey at times. that's why i love it.

Dexter - a complex, well-crafted show that's always testing the limits and challenging the viewers' expectations.
Community - I almost never stop laughing at this show.
The Daily Show/The Colbert Report - the only truly fair and balanced news in America!
Chuck is coming back for another season. That makes me happy.
Survivor is a guilty pleasure/family bonding experience. So is True Blood, because really, folks, it's pretty awful. We never miss it, though.
Just discovered The Sing-Off, an acappella competition. The only bad thing about it is that one of the judges is Nicole Scherzinger, but the other two are Ben Folds and Shawn Stratton(? - from Boyz II Men) so you can ignore the Pussycat Doll for the most part.

^ Merlin rules. With that show, there is no need for any other TV.

(Slightly off topic: Merlin final was amazing! Though I was expecting a little more drama i.e. Uther die or Arthur find out about Merlin's magic.)

I was disappointed, too, that we have to wait at least 9 months for the reveal, but I can sort of understand them. I guess they didn't want to drop the bomb in the middle of more than enough random tension :P
And I hope they won't kill off Uther for quite awhile.

I can't watch TV. I never know when good shows will be on, and any thing I see just makes me sad. Don't know why. TV sucks. I used to watch Deadliest Catch, but I always miss it during the season.

I don't watch much TV and I usually watch my fave TV shows from the computer. But anyway, Six Feet Under, True Blood, CSI: Las Vegas, The Simpsons, Grey's Anatomy, House and Family Guy would be my favourite ones. And probably I forgot some names, but what ever.

-Desperate Housewives
-Ugly Betty
-Being Erica
-Top Gear
-Veronica Mars
-X-Files
-Gilmore Girls
-Friends
-Charmed
-QI
-Doctor Who
-Blossom
-My So-Called Life
-Freaks and Geeks

I'm sure there's probably more!
