I barely watch TV, but when I do I love these shows (First few are stereotypical choices)

Will Definately Watch if its On

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Sanford and Son
Good Times
All in the Family

The Boondocks
The Office (American)
Family Guy

[Genowyn]

As far as shows that are actually on TV, I like Futurama, How I Met Your Mother, South Park, Daily Show/Colbert Report, Scrubs, Fresh Prince and The Office. For shows that aren't actually on TV I like Joss Whedon's first three shows and all sorts of anime.

[sonatafanica]

I rarely watch television myself, but I find a few shows to be great.


Will watch

The IT Crowd (any way I can, it's a U.K. show)
Dexter
The Twilight Zone
The Misadventures of Flapjack
Seinfeld
Malcolm in the Middle


Might watch
Gilmore Girls

[BlobVanDam]

I hardly watch TV either. My favourite shows currently still running are-
American Dad
Family Guy (last few seasons have been terrible, but this season has been decent)
Mythbusters
House
Metalocalypse
Stargate Universe (I'm a huge Stargate fan)

I've also recently gotten into Malcolm in the Middle and How I Met Your Mother.

I won't list all time favourites, because that's a much longer list.

[Genowyn]

I completely forgot Metalocalypse.

Oh, and like everyone else said, I hardly watch TV. The only shows I actually go out of my way to watch are Daily Show/Colbert and HIMYM.

[Global Laziness]

In no particular order, The Simpsons, Frasier, How I Met Your Mother, and Seinfeld. I don't watch much TV, though.

[Edan the Man]

*Joins the not watching much TV group*

Some favorites would be Mythbusters, Boston Legal, House, Futurama, Metalocalypse, American Dad, and Family Guy. In no particular order.

[El Barto]

I pretty much watch one show at a time.  I'm still working through ST:TOS, usually an episode each night.  Once I wrap that up, I need to watch the most recent series of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Bullshit.  Dunno which I'll watch first.  I actually pay for cable, but only watch NFL, and in two weeks I'll cancel it.  As I've pointed out before, television is so much better when you program it yourself.

[Adami]

In no order at all....


Scrubs
Battlestar Galactica
Deadwood
Frasier
South Park
Family Guy
American Dad

How I Met Your Mother
The Office (U.S)
Mad Men
Glee
Frasier
Heroes

I usually rely on DVDs or downloaded version of TV shows, as I'm very unreliable at watching TV at the same time every week.

Me too, although mostly because a lot of the shows I like aren't on TV much or at all, but are easy to get on DVD. Plus I've become accustomed to watching shows in one sitting.
In the last 2-3 months I have rewatched every single episode of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis (15 seasons in total). TV shows play out so much better when everything is fresh in your mind, such as character development, and subtleties in story arcs that you miss when you see them spaced out.

Yeah, its hard watching shows (especially dramas or action-based shows) on regular TV. Without any sort of Tivo/PVR, I lose interest too quickly. The commercials are super annoying, and I often want to be able to watch 2-3 episodes at a time.
Plus, DVD extras are in my Top 5 Things of Everything list, so that's even more incentive for me to get the DVDs.

Last month I watched all of the episodes of The Office (US) back to back, starting from the very first episode. With a show like that, the plot and character development is very important, and I didnt want to ruin the series by just watching the episodes in random order as they appear on TV.

[ariich]

and soon Caprica

You listed Caprica but not BSG?

24 (which is basically dead)

Wut? Isn't there a new series this year?

I'm currently watching Battlestar Galactica, up in the queue are Rome, Deadwood, Stargate, and Doctor Who (and probably a few I'm forgetting).

Awesome, BSG is one of my favourite ever shows, and I've recently been getting into the revamped Doctor Who series as well. Been renting the DVDs, just finished the series with Christopher Ecclestone last night, there were a couple of amazing episodes in it, but generally the show is just so FUN!
