I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that we'll lose AtS in five more weeks. That's going to knock me down to NO shows left, and while I try not to get hooked on too many (no time), I need at least one.
So, since the visitors to these boards are obviously discriminating, intelligent types, can anyone offer some suggestions? Or have the reality shows killed all the good TV?

PBS-- that's about it if'n you don't get cable (like me).
People who get cable should make their own suggestions.
Personally, I'm thinking of just renting things I haven't seen yet, like the extended editions of the LOTR.
Oh, bugger! Now I have to wait for someone to wake up!

"joan of Arcadia" is kind of interesting. Otherwise, I'm mostly on the net or reading. Just finished "The Da Vinci Code" and I can definitely recommend that!

I only get 4 channels with my rabbit ears and have been watching pretty much only Canadian TV for the past while. Unfortunately, it's the end of the season and I have to wait some time before new eps start again.
But, I've been filling the time by programming lately. Haven't gotten a chance to do that in awhile

Well, it takes a couple of episodes to get into, and that may be all it has left, but I've really gotten to like "Arrested Development". Of course, that means you have to watch Fox, which, yes, is more than a little scary.

Well on cable:
USA has a good crime/detection show called 'Touching Evil' (actually a US remake of a British series you may have seen on PBS)
and Bravo has been showing a really interesting one called 'Keen Eddie', but I'm not sure if they will be continuing to show them into the summer...
Those are both fairly interesting and imaginative, but for the most part I'm in the same boat...I'm seriously thinking of cancelling cable as soon as we've seen the finale of Ats.

"Scrubs" is always good for a laugh (though I haven't seen much of this season cuz they put it up against "24" and my stupid digital cable won't let me tape it!)
"Arrested development" is hilarious but I have a bad feeling it may be on the chopping block.
As far as drama on regular TV...hm...good luck.
If you have cable - "Dead Like Me" on showtime is great (though season 1 comes out on dvd soon, so you could just rent that)
Honestly - my plan for next season is this - I already own the Buffy, Angel and Firefly DVDs. Quantum Leap season 1 comes out in June...I've decided to make up my own TV schedule. A buffy on Tues, Angel on Weds, Quantum on Thurs...then do a movie on friday.
And if you don't want to buy all those DVDs, you can rent almost anything from Netflix...which is how I survived the dryspell while Angel was on hiatus. (I just added "Freaks and Geeks" to my rental list because of an earlier post)

I'm seriously considering getting my cable taken out! The only good news I've heard in between all the cancellations is the new episodes of Farscape being done. And at least one more season of SG1, after that..... oh maybe another season of Spooks which I think is being aired in the states as M15 which is about the only decent thing made in the UK. Oh and a new Dr Who but that wont be on till next year. Yep definatley getting the old cable removed.

Well i would say the shows i like to watch but usually when i start saying i really like a show it gets cancelled soon after...so lately i've taken to just keeping my shows to myself. yes it's selfish but as long as i can keep watching them it'll be okay.

Alias is amazing show. I recommend renting or buying the first two seasons. It helps make sense of it, even though you can understand what's going on without it. But there are great action sequences and some deep moral issues. Good stuff.
