OK, other than my obvious Star Trek obsession - TOS, TNG, Voyager, Enterprise (every incarnation except Deep Space 9), my other favorites are:
The Twighlight Zone
Outer Limits
Wild Wild West
Combat!
The Man From Uncle
Comedies
Taxi
Cheers
M*A*S*H
Seinfeld
Two And A Half Men (although the show and the whole Charlie Sheen thing is wearing a bit thin).
I'm sure I'll think of others, but these come to mind quickly.
Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

Good call on Arrested Development, great show. I never missed an episode.
I also really liked The X Files and Millennium.
Bugs Bunny is my all-time favorite animated character.
In terms of new shows, I've been catching up on Star Wars: Clone Wars. The new CGI animated series. The first two seasons are out on DVD now and the third season is now currently showing on the Cartoon Network, IIRC. The acting is way less wooden than the first three of the new Star Wars movies.
I had to watch the rest of that episode!
Thx

Some others I can't recall...

I finished watching the first year of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, and had a great time. I almost gave up on it during the first episode, but it got better. Sure, the graphics are a bit cheap and the blood is over done, but the story and acting make up for it.
I'm now watching the prequel 6 episode series. The second full season will be without the lead actor since he is still suffering from non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Galactica, Day of The Triffids, Dead Set, Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy...comedywise, Fawlty Towers, Secret Army, Yes Minister, King of The Hill...loads of good ones.

I'm late to the party on this one, but loving this show. I'm through the first season and halfway into the second. Dark humor and excellent writing at its finest!
Twin Peaks
Lost
Month Python and the Flying Circus
Fawlty Towers
(Not McGyver, although I laughed a lot at it ... )
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

OT:
I've been meaning to catch that show sometime. The books are fantastic.
There is another series of books I've been reading in the same vein, written by Dan Wells. The first one is called "I am Not a Serial Killer" followed by "Mr. Monster" and the newest one called "I Don't Want to Kill You." The deal with a 15-16 year old high school student, John Wayne Cleaver, who knows he is a sociopath, and actively takes steps to curb his desire to commit serial killings. He works for his mom at the local funeral home, which doesn't help. The books are alot like the Dexter series, although the Dan Wells' books deal more with the supernatural.

I'll add a post of current shows I like. Austin City Limits of course, and several other PBS shows like "The American Experience", and Mythbusters.
For current network, I like Modern Family, and my guilty pleasure show, "Gray's Anatomy" which I like to watch with my wife as part of our Thursday night hangout. We DVR it and watch it after the kids are in bed. Used to do the same thing with ER, and for a few years, both. Funny, I don't like watching legal drama shows, and haven't since "LA Law" back when I was a law student.
