I don't watch much TV unless it's a doc or the news... or Joss! 
But... I love ...
Trailer Park Boys
Da Vinci's Inquest
The Simpsons (though it's disappointing)
Sure, I do the 'proceedure shows' like ER or Law&Order but they are to fanciful for me usually. Oh, and Da Vinci is too clever to be just a proceedure show rather like BtVS is too clever to be just juvenile titilation (like Charmed).

Oh I loved these shows!
Have they had any episodes on during the last year?
Because, if so, I've been missing out!

I live in the Netherlands. One of our public channels is airing all the great British detective shows. The Belgian public channel does too, so I'm rather spoiled. I think three nights a week, there's either Touch of Frost, Midsomer Murders, or Cadfael on rerun here.

older series:
The Decalogue (polish miniseries)
Homicide: Life on the street (particularly the first 3 seasons)
His and Her Circumstances (anime tv series)
The Newsroom (canadian)
Twitch City (canadian)
Also, Millennium season 1 was only minimally sci-fi, and I think may be the best single season of american tv (except maybe for buffy season 4, 5 or 6). Millennium is out on DVD in JULY!! 
current:
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
This is Wonderland (canadian)
24
Gilmore Girls
And I suppose Carnivale is sort of sci-fi (using the term very loosely, assuming sci-fi/fantasy/horror), but it's also sort of not ...it's more of an odd period piece.

Homicide was fantastic - had to hunt around the depths of Channel 4 to find it, and was praying that Channel 5 might have added it to their roster of US crime drama, but no such luck - just Munch over on one of the L&A spin offs.
