My wife and I watch a lot of TV shows. I mainly download everything. That way we never have to worry about commericals. I am always looking for something new to watch and was wondering what everyones favorite. Right now mine are:

Dexter- can't wait for the new season after watching a teaser for it the other day. I was a little disapointed with season 5

Boardwalk Empire- great first season. Hope it continues to be good

Mad Men- we just started this show and are halfway through season 4. Just gets better and better. Can't beat the eye candy. I am in love with Christina Hendricks and January Jones.

What does everyone else like and can't miss?

Dexter is great, I just need to wait for the 5th and 6th season to be on watch Instantly on Netflix.

I never miss any episodes of The Office. By far my favorite show.

Started Netflix streaming a new (to me) series a few nights ago that I'm really impressed with and hadn't seen mentioned here yet:

Intelligence http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Intelligence/70153374?strkid=1849685577_0_0&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strackid=7c04d9befa6676de_0_srl&trkid=222336

It is a Canadian series set in Vancouver. Who knew they had original programming in Canada? Only about 5 episodes in, but it is very well written and casting is pretty good. Acting isn't bad either, except for an awful lot of "Eh's" and "Yah?'s".

West Wing - unfortunately it isn't avail streaming, but just finished Season 1 discs - never saw even one episode before, but really enjoying

Defenders - streaming this one in between West Wing mailers - Jim Belushi is great -- and he's never far from a cigar - mostly Fuente, it appears -- Opus and Hemingways best I can tell

Big Bang Theory

Shark Tank
The Office - although I do not watch it as much as I used too.
Sunny - although I like the old stuff better, now it seems like they are trying too hard to be funny.

Still wish they had not taken Criminal Intent off the air. We also watch Criminal Minds a lot.

Still love South Park as well.

The OP was unclear, at least in his question. His answer made it seem clear that this was a right now deal.
But for ALL TIME, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

It's harder for NOW, since I do not have cable. I get to watch what I like thanks to the internet. At least before
the whole copyright apocalypse. Now who knows? Before it all went down, back when I could get anything I wanted
online, Game of Thrones. I love a good period drama, and this is extremely well done. Lavish production,
excellent atmosphere.

Other shows I routinely downloaded ill-eagley were Top Gear (UK), The New Girl, The Walking Dead.

On Free TV, my favorite shows include Nova, American Experience, and Nature. Oh, and of course Survivor. ;)
