RMMC,
Oh, yes. Maverick, too. I catch Gleason sometimes, but don't get Kovacs in my area. Only have rabbit ears, not even a rotating antenna.
And I tend to agree, it was the RIGHT century. No cussing on TV, etc.

Fergot to mention The Rifleman. Don't get to see it too often; but never get Rawhide thisaway. Do like the theme song, though.

The West Wing (I was a Government major in college, so I *love* seeing how laws and compromises are made in the REAL world)
All of the Law&Order franchise shows (including Conviction)
Thief
Heist (Does it strike anyone else as odd that TWO shows about gangs of thieves out for the Big Score happened to come out at the same time?)
Bones (Wasn't crazy about it at first, but it's definitely growing on me)
My Name Is Earl
The Office
Gilmore Girls (Talk about a guilty pleasure... but it's witty and snarky, and I usually dig the music used in it. Oh, and the guy who plays Kirk was in an Angel episode, and Danny Strong - Jonathan from Buffy - is on the show as well)
When those aren't on, I'll likely as not watch a DVD - Buffy, Angel, or Firefly.

Two must sees:
1) Veronica Mars- best show on tv right now, imho. Hey even Joss got all fanboy over it!
2) Grey's Anatomy
Sometimes I'll catch:
1) Close to Home- pretty much just to see Christian Kane (Lindsey McDonald off of Angel), but it's a pretty decent show.
2)House- really like this show but hardly ever home for it.
3)Bones- another one that i like but on at the same time as Veronica Mars.
4) American Inventor- the crap people come up with is either incredibly ingenious or hilariously dumb.

Ruxton,
I'll admit I haven't been able to watch Ernie Kovacs in awhile, but I have faith that it'll roll around on one of the PBS 'round here.
So what's your favorite Gleason skit? I think mine's between the Poor Soul and Joe the bartender.
Gee, I thought I was the only one here just using the rabbit ears, having told Comcast where they could put their ineffectual cable. 
By the time I told them this over half the channels I was paying for didn't come in because their equiptment was old and the signal was too degraded by being split so many times (I live in an apartment.) Their answer was that I should convert to digital (and give them even more money. As if.)
I'm fortunate in where I am, as I can pick up three major markets TV wise (Detroit, Windsor, ON and Toledo.) So at the moment I get 3 PBS channels, 1 WB, WI & Pax, and 2 of everything else (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CBC).
Ah, yes, the days when TV had to be funny on basis of decent writing, not on jokes about bodily functions and other crudities. I remember those days. *ponder* 'Course in the old days I wouldn't have gotten a naked Mal, either. I suppose one must pay a price for certain improvements. 
And about the several mentions of the Rifleman...I still remember catching an ep of that dubbed in French-Canadian. That was...interesting. ("Papa! Papa! Papa!")
I think we also forgot the Avengers in here, somewhere. 
Mustn't forget Steed and Mrs. Peel.

RMMC,
I'd go with Gleason and the Poor Soul, but both were just great, and so superior to what passes for humor in most shows today.
One mustn't forget Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin, and I wonder how many NCIS watchers got the joke by Mark Harmon on what "Ducky" looked like as a youngster. (Harmon said he looked like Ilya Kuryakin, who of course was played by David McCallum.)
The Rifleman was mentioned recently by Letterman (I think) when he showed the beginning rapid-fire rifle work by Chuck Connors, and then panned up to his face, which had Dick Cheney's face superimposed. A good TV moment, I thought.
And yes, I watched the Masters today, in the "current" century.
Oh, and I can do without Mal naked, thank you.

Ruxton,
Agreed about Gleason. I'm one of the few people I know who just couldn't understand why folks think Seinfeld is funny. Monty Python is funny. Seinfeld is what's stuck to the bottom of one's shoe.
Oh..speaking of Ilya and Napoleon, S1 of UNCLE is due out on DVD July 25th.
I don't watch NCIS so I missed that one, but am now giggling about it. Thanks.
I haven't watched anything today as of yet. Sunday tends to be busy and when I finally got home, I wandered on over here. Later I may *gasp* read a book. 
Yeah, naked Mal isn't to everyone's taste, but I'm thinkin' you appreciated Inara's sponge bath and Kaylee's first visit on the boat in Out of Gas which is entirely understandable. Joss is very nice about supplying eye candy for everyone.
Hmmm...maybe we should start a classic TV thread.
