My favourites: Sopranos, The Wire, The Killing, Spiral, Romanzo Criminale, Braquo.
For the last few weeks I've been watching and obsessing over True Detective, which I would rate alongside any of the above mentioned.
It has a very literary, self-referential feel, some very clever meta-fictional moments and is full of nods to genre tropes and philosophical ideas. Also seems to be tied in to the HP Lovecraft mythos. Somehow it manages to pull all this off within a gripping, character driven story. Highly recommended.

Boston Legal
I've fallen in love with Boston Legal, which just finished running here on one of our cable channels. Now I watch House to fill the void and it's good, but needs quite a lot of close attention to follow the medical/detective plotline, while Boston Legal was pure fun, relaxation and entertainment, but also thought provoking and emotionally engaging. I don't think I've liked a show this much since MASH. It was excellently written and excellently cast, and there was a Tarantino-like way of introducing just the right song at the right moment. Candice Bergen (Shirley Schmidt) looked great - OK sometimes she looked old but mostly she looked great, and James Spader as Alan Shore and William Shatner as Denny Crane were pure magic and genius.
I could hardly find any video clips to post here, but here's a nice fan video -

Judge Judy
by far the most entertaining.
American laws at its burst.

Nice list above from mortalterror, covering the past 50 years or so. Judging from the contents of the list, however, I'll bet Fawlty Towers was omitted as an oversight, and should have been included, maybe as number 51. I would have also included the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and, going back even a little further, the Jack Benny Show and Red Skelton.

I can't stop watching It's Always sunny in Philadelphia, seen it all three times and now I am watching it with commentary.
Penny Dreadful is great too but just want to see each show once, that is enough. Love Hannibal, he is brilliant and the ending of the last season was brilliant.

Naked and Afraid - Not just another one of those survival shows, it's really quite harsh... one man and one woman, left naked to fend for themselves for 21 days in the wilderness, or desert, or jungle. It's interesting to note though, that it's usually the women that fair better. Mental toughness seems to outweigh physical toughness.
Almost Royal - A faux reality series with two very young English aristocrats touring America. It's America bashing done in brilliant fashion! Very politically incorrect.
Tosh.0 - The show is just plain hilarious.
Impractical Jokers - Four New Yorkers strive to embarrass each other. Unlike other shows of this type, they don't set out to humiliate strangers, they just humiliate each other. They are very witty and the stunts they pull are actually quite clever.

I don't watch syndications really, ever since I was a teen. Back then though I remember VIP, X-Files, South Park, The Man Show, and that's about it that I can remember right now. I watched a lot of television when I was a teen. Now when I want to watch a show I either go see a movie or go see a play. If I couch it in my den then it's movie DVDs.

Twin Peaks. The new episodes came out yesterday... did anyone see them? I cannot believe the direction they are going with-it's both brilliant and entertaining. I think David Lynch has done it again ;))
