I don't know, it's weird, I enjoyed it but then when it was time to choose what to watch we'd always pick something else, and so episodes piled up on the DVR. With two small kids we can't marathon through something like we used to, so it's something I'll have to revisit later.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Burn Notice
Leverage
White Collar
NCIS---both versions. Love Abby (Pauley Perrette) and glad to see she's got a national commercial running (for Expedia, I think) that sort of plays off of the 'Abby' character. NCIS/LA just needs a little time to mature, I think/hope.
I still watch many of the 'Law & Order' series whether they are reruns or not. 'L&A, Los Angeles' is starting to grow on me.
Criminal Minds
Chuck. Although it seems to me that it's declined this season.
Numbers. As stats heavy as this board is I'm sort of surprised it isn't a big fav.

Forgot to mention 'Hot In Cleveland'. Betty White, Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves (Frazier), Wendy Malick (Just Shoot Me).
Second season starts 1/19/11 on TV Land Network. Worth at least tapeing if you're watching something else at the time.

Caught the Caps/Pens 24-7 show that HBO is running as a build-up to the Winter Classic. Fun stuff. Kind of like a Hard Knocks for the NHL.
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022
Sons of Anarchy/Justified/Rescue Me are all on at different times of the year, so it is easy to follow all of them.
The Office is past its prime although I will say the last two episodes were very good. I have high hopes that since Steve Carrell is leaving, the writers will be able to send him out with a bang.
I enjoyed Boardwalk Empire. I thought it improved as the season progressed.
I don't have Showtime, but I have watched three seasons of Californication, almost three seasons of Weeds and Dexter, and two seasons of The Tudors through Netflix. I have enjoyed each series, especially Dexter and Californication.
I keep promising myself I will get around to watching The Wire. I really wish it was available to watch instantly on Netflix.
HBO hasn't been able to match the early to mid 2000s (loved both Carnivale and Deadwood), but I still enjoy Entourage (not as good as the first few seasons, but what show is?), Boardwalk Empire and have high hopes for Game of Thrones . True Blood is excellent. My wife watches Big Love, which is so over the top I can't stand it.
Walking Dead was good. Mad Men may be my favorite show. I bailed on Breaking Bad after the first season. I might have to catch back up on it eventually.
Burn Notice is a show I will watch when I find it flipping through the channels.
Nothing will replace Lost.
Love F/X, so I'll echo the Sons of Anarchy, Justified, and Rescue Me comment above. I'll also add It's Always Sunny, The League, and Archer.
Psych is a favorite of mine, as well as the ususal HBO fare (True Blood, Entourage, Boardwalk Empire), along with Mad Men (and, yes, The Walking Dead).
I'll also toss in The Big Bang Theory and I can't forget Smallville.
My wife and I have been watching all of Mad Men over the course of a couple of months. We joined Netflix (and yes it would be great to instantly stream those, The Wire is up next) and have been plowing our way through Mad Men.
The Big Bang Theory is my favorite sitcom on TV now.
I also watch How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, as well as The Office.
I find it interesting that large number of people posting in this thread like so many of the same types of shows.
Most of the shows tend to be cable shows with fairly high critical acclaim, yet lower ratings. Most be something with the internet message board crowd...or maybe the overall smartness of Reds fans.
The only shows that my wife and I watch are the Thursday NBC shows. My favorite is Parks and Recreation (after I didn't like it at all in the beginning). The Office is the only reason we ever started tuning in (if you can call Hulu "tuning in"). It's still OK I guess. But new Parks and Rec comes Jan 20!
Andy rocks btw...
I could not agree more....
I was caught completely off guard with this show. Of course, the content is beyond graphic and should not be viewed by those who are young. However, the casting was phenomenal and the writing was top notch.
While they have already confirmed that the show will return for a second season, unfortunately, it sounds like most of this season's writers will not be back for the second run.

Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
