'Arrested Development' is a great show. It's the only one I keep all episodes on my Replay, and the only TV series I never miss an episode.
That and baseball.

I've heard that "Masterpiece Theater" is good.

If you like police/rescue worker dramas, I think "Third Watch" is pretty entertaining. Granted it isn't very accurate if you're looking for one that is realistic. But the acting and writing is good. It airs on NBC at 10 PM ET on Fridays. It definitely has 3-4 shows left of this season, but you can catch reruns everynight on A&E at 11PM ET (I think they are still showing them). There will also be one more season. I also watch CSI (CBS, Thurs. 9 PM ET). Again, it's not very realistic but it's still entertaining.

Other than those two, I only watch Stargate SG-1 now. And that's wrapped until Stargate: Atlantis this summer and season 8 this fall.

Recently I've been watching reruns of "The West Wing" on latenight NBC, right now they are showing some of the older eps when it focused on the Presdent's staff. Also I've been watching lots of movies, reading books, and doing some 3D modeling of US and Russian Submarines.

Maybe you might want to learn a new skill or read up on a fav subject?

Maybe you should check out the discount computer game rack at the local Wal-Mart or Media Play (Assuming you live near one).

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...

There's an American remake of 'Touching Evil'? Why? And is it any good?

"Keen Eddie" was originally on Fox. They cancelled it, of course.

It is good...
The BBC production was darker and edgier...

the US version, which is currently being aired on USA cable station Friday evenings, is kind of brighter...more music...lively cutting...and kind of more humor... They are re-doing some of the same plots but they are hardly recognizable with the different style and energy.

I do recommend it, even if you loved the original version, it is still well worth watching.

Doesn't anyone watch Smallville? I really like that show. CSI is good. CSI: Miami is kinda ok. Tru Calling is prolly doomed - I like it and it's on FOX. It'll probably get axed.

Anyhow, that's about all I can reccomend.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good suggestions -- I'll either throw darts or see what next fall's evening class schedule looks like and make some choices.

I actually mostly read in my free time (and thanks to the people who suggested books, I loved The DaVinci Code) but certain things are easier to do while watching TV (like folding laundry, or eating dinner, depending on how many hands dinner takes). So it's good to have TV.

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.

Unfortunately, only the first season was really good in my opinion. After that the show's makers dumbed it down immensely, and made it stupid and eminently predictable. It turned into the spy soap opera. The second season was lame; the third season (what little I watched of it) was execrable.

With "Angel", "Farscape", and "Firefly" gone, the only thing I'd even care to watch on a regular basis would be "Joan of Arcadia" and "The Dead Zone". 24 lost my interest after the more inane plot twists, and SG-1 doesn't interest me enough to do more than download episodes with BitTorrent and watch them late at night while dozing off.

Wow! I completely agree with this statement.
