Folks mentioned some shows on Fx like Sons of Anarchy, so I'll throw Justified out there. 

WebGizmo that ending was so terrible!  In the finale when the villain was backed into a corner, she should have chosen to prematurely age herself, claim another credible identity like her own mother, and when the hero demands fingerprints show the police they've been aged away.

Edit: Because there is a warrant out for her arrest >>> some prisons are without bars.

I try....

I always thought Face was a remarkably charming fella

In that case how bout the 6 million dollar man or buck rogers 

the original series of holmes was pretty good as well even when it was on the radio

 My Last comment to what show to watch is a good ol' brit comedy & in the voice of Kriton *drum roll*   smeeee....smeeeee.......smeeeeee...smeeeee....smeg Heads        believe it or not that's actually funny...mmmm tough crowd,alright i'll make it easy for ya it's Red Dwarf & not the USA version like i said

Dick Emery was a lot funnier... do a search on You Tube and you'll see what I mean

While he could pull off the innuendo style like Benny Hill, Dick Emery was more intellectual and a master of disguises... yup. he could successfully portray numerous characters with ease.

A lot of great suggestions here. I would second any Community recommendations. Don't be put off by some of the lesser first Season eps as when the show hits its' stride, it is one of the most creative and rewarding shows out there today. The newest episode was Law and Order themed and executed brilliantly.

I would also strongly recommend Homeland (91% on Metacritic). A first-rate and fresh look at terrorism and a stellar cast: Damian Lewis, Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin. 

Also for something completely different, watch Adventure Time! It's an animated show that should appeal to anyone who knows what a 20 sided die is.

24

Walker Texas Ranger

Knight Rider

Just thought I'd suggest some of my favorite series'. We're currently making our way through 24.

Coming from someone who doesn't like to invest a ton of time in TV...

My wife will watch much more than I do, and she knows if it's something I may have an interest in.  I've abandoned more series than I care to count after one episode, because I can't sit through it if my mind goes somewhere else.

Anyway, top 4 in this order:

The Wire

Breaking Bad

Arrested Development

Deadwood

I'll throw in an honorable mention for the recent Sherlock Holmes series done by the BBC starring Benedict Cumberbatch, these are really well done.
