Batman: The Animated Series If you were never a kid.
That was like the best cartoon ever conceived.
God forbid.
No power in the verse can stop me from being a browncoat.
I’ve only acknowledged Firefly years after it was canned but yeah, it sucks that it was cancelled, probably in order for Fox to have more money to finance braindead reality shows.

The Office (American Version)
Life on Mars. (British Version)
Same here. I might have seen part of an episode when it was originally airing but just recently (a few months ago) watched it all the way through.
This may go without saying, but the Walking Dead is pretty sweet for a drama. It’s like Left 4 Dead made into a miniseries.
Watch this to keep yourself amused for a little while. It’s worth every second you spend on it.
I agree, the walking dead is an epic series I love it, it is kinda like left for dead except it’s not all action it’s got a good story and developed characters.

The Shield
Spooks (known in America as ‘MI-5’)
Cowboy Bebop (Yes, it’s anime, but it’s every bit as good as Firefly and the English dub is actually respectable)
The Wire
Person of Interest (This one’s airing it’s first season right now, and it’s completely and utterly AWESOME)
The Walking Dead
Hell on Wheels
Breaking Bad - if you want a blend of drama, thriller and black comedy that excels brilliantly at all those departments and also has a whole gallery of infinitely captivating and unpredictable characters.
Walking Dead - if you want well done zombie horror for five minutes and utterly mediocre drama with cardboard characters whose dialogues are oddly unengaging for the other 40 minutes of an episode and enjoy being disappointed after a very promising pilot.
Outer Limits - a sci fi equivalent to the twilight zone. the original sixties show is the best but the 90s resurrection doesn’t blow.
4400 - a favorite sci fi show that definitely has an epic feel due to the nationwide impact and the incipient bedlam appearance of roughly four thousand people and their different stories that cross paths.
Deadwood - this was the classiest tv show i had seen until breaking bad. in season two all the profanity, poetry and violence comes together for a delightfully misanthropic show with the necessary occasional goodness and soul baring.
Fringe - very exciting up until the last season. or actually the final episodes of the second season . personally i hate the switching between the universes and i thought it lost its appeal at that point.
obviously i can hardly recommend the walking dead. but i included it because i had high hopes for it, initially.
Archer, since the titular character is one of the funniest I’ve ever seen in a TV show. He’s such an asshole that it’s worth watching just to hear what he has to say.
And also LOST, it’s such a great series, not only does it have great characters that you really get attached to, but it also has this great story that, in the end, comes to a satisfying conclusion which answers all of the biggest questions, while leaving room for continued theorizing on your part. That’s something I don’t see a lot anymore. Nowadays, it’s like the entertainment industry needs to hold the viewer’s hand, but LOST allows the viewer to think and wonder, to hypothesize and theorize…I would encourage you to watch it with a friend, if only for the resultant discussions and debates that WILL be spawned.
And as I’ve said before, the characters are simply remarkable. I have yet to see another series where the the characters entranced me so. Wonderfully written characters played by masterful actors and actresses.
EDIT: And give Boardwalk Empire go, it’s fucking brilliant. It’s smart, it’s based on real shit that happened, most of the characters actually existed (and acted how they are portrayed on screen), and Steve Buscemi is so freaking talented.
deadwood has been added to the list, thanks 
i’ve already seen all of lost and breaking bad
Forgot The X Files. Not always consistent (and less in the second half), but the mythology episodes in general string out a positively epic story arc over the course of nine years.
yeah, seen it, it’s pretty awesome
especially mulder

What the fuck, has anyone even mentioned The Wire yet? Don’t even need to explain why you should watch it.
I mentioned it earlier, actually. I’m in Season 3 at the moment. Fucking good show.
