You are missing all the great shows and you say you are finding it hard to find new shows?
Here, add these to queue. You can thank me later :
Oz : The best Prison drama, period.
The Wire : One of the most realistic police drama. Touted to be the best show ever made by many critiques.
Boardwalk Empire : Another classic HBO period mob drama. Its HBO, need I say more?
Sons of Anarchy : Crime, Biker gang and Harleys.
Rome : Highly recommended very realistic period drama.
Spartacus : A more fun and violent version of Rome. Focused more on Gladiators.
Firefly : A show which has a cult following. Was canceled prematurely but still remains one of the best sci-fi show ever made.
Jericho : A show about a post apocalyptic world. This too was canceled but is great till it lasts.
24 : I have just started watching it recently and I am already addicted to it. I have completed 3 seasons so far and trust me, once you start with a season, you will not be able to stop watching it. Jack Bauer > Rajnikanth
True Blood : I wonder how you missed this. Its one of the cool, entertaining and fun shows around. A new season starts in july. Highly recommended if you dig vampires or hot naked chicks.
Being Human (UK) and (US): What happens when a Vampire, Werewolf and a Ghost decide to live together? Pretty cool show, recommended.
And watch Dexter. You will not regret it. Oh and if you like zombies, add Walking Dead to the list.
Shit again missed Boardwalk empire, Firefly, west wing, battlestart gallatica,24 and few others from list.. i haven't watched any of these. Back home. Damn.

^You can skip Flashforward and Event. Both these shows got canceled before their first season concluded. They start off well but have no clue on where to go from there. Best is to avoid them.
And that Pimp slap is from Game Of Thrones. Watch this before watching anything. Its probably the best TV show ever made.

Game of Thrones is not EPIC? Are you even watching the same show I am watching? How is this for epic : Game of Thrones: Season 1's Most Badass Moments - TV Feature at IGN

I am not spoiling the TV series for me. No ways.stalker said:
Now that I am finished with the first season, I can give the first book a try. I did the same with Lord of the Rings, watched the movies before reading the novels, its a better experience for me this way. I tried doing this the other way around with Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons and both the times, the movies disappointed me. Granted that those movies were not in the league of LOTR but still the books kinda spoiled the movies for me and I know for a fact that I would have liked the movies more had I seen them first since I am a huge Hanks fan.

@M-jeri : Game of Thrones is best enjoyed in HD. So do whatever but download atleast the 720p version of the show.

Hearing a lot about True Blood....
how is it...
is it like the teen vampire bull-shit movie twilight...
that's the movie that made me to hate vampires
if its remotely related to it........~!@#$%
now somebody would recommend to watch first 2-3 episodes...
but if i watch them then iam 95% sure that i would pick that show...and end up losing 50-100 hrs of my study time(coz that's always the trend)...is it worth it?

^It sure is quite cheesy but in a good way. Besides, its an opposite of Twilight, the vampires love to create a gore mess in this series. And True Blood is much more than Vampires, there are all soughts of creatures which you will come to know as you progress with the series.
watched it when it was airing here on star world.a decent watch i must say.xtremevicky said:

Not Epic enough =/= NOT Epic. an yeah season 1 has extremely interesting turn of events, but epic, where? They need to show battles not skirmishes. Season 1 is just a build up man, the rest should have epic moments. And by no means am I saying saying it's meh, I'm saying I want more this is not enough. There's a difference.
Hope they invest more in CGI -

My thoughts on the ones I've seen/Plan to watch.
Game of Thrones - Waiting for season 2.
Entourage - Hoping the show gets the ending it deserves. They killed all the fun in Season 7.
24 - Heard a lot about this, is it better than the Bourne (movie) series?
Dexter is a good series, too but I don't feel compelled to watch every episode.
Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place - pretty good starting boring by the last episode.
That 70's show - One of the best.
30 Rock - Funny show, have seen 2-3 seasons only.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Outrageous and funny.
Big Bang Theory - Not ROFL but good laughs here and there (8/10)
How I met Your Mother - Getting less funnier by the season.
Two And A Half Men - Cheesy jokes and Yes, I laugh at them, hard.
Apprentice US - Not celebrity one, the one with normal hotshots.
Apprentice UK - I like watching this too, BBC touch.
Mind Your Language - When I was a kid.
The Office US - Mentioned already, which reminds me...
Coupling - UK's take on the Friends style sitcom. Awesome character Jeff Murdock.
Joey - Cancelled after 2 seasons (OK at best)
