The lack of a mention of Skins thusfar makes me sad.

 

[CouchCommando]

I only have three letters for you...DSV
Its got it all
A talking super intelligent dolphin.
The dude out of Jaws, who's the captain and uses an AI interface of his dead wife to control the vessel.
Lasers that work under water.
Mini submarines that swim.
And a plethora of outlandish bad guys and back story that even the ocean has no rights to be large enough to contain.

The Incredible Hulk. Bill Bixby is wonderful, and Lou is grand. Terrific and a joy to watch. Oh, and Mission Impossible. Too fun to miss out on.

 

[Manicotti]

Since you like black humor, I must suggest Dead Like Me as well.

 

[rbstewart7263]

Deadwood youve got 3 seasons of some of the best character development ever.

 

[flim.geek.chic]

Burn Notice, Firefly, Psych, The League, Breaking Bad, Archer, Doctor Who

All good shows

FireFly! completely forgot that one! though if you watch that be sure to rent Serenity so you feel it has some closure.

Except that Serenity was much, much, much worse than any Firefly episode.

Apart from all that's been mentioned, Stargate SG-1 and Star Trek are classics. Also I don't think chuck or how I met your mother has been mentioned.

Beggers can't be choosers, untill a better ending is flimed it's all we got.

I have to back all the recommendations of Community so far. That show is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while. Unfortunately, I have no current sci fi shows to recommend. I'm still waiting for a sci fi show to catch my eye. I must be part of a small minority that wants a cyber punk themed show. It seems no one wants to explore that area.

 

[Stryc9]

Doctor Who beacuse it's addictive but start from the David Tennant era for the good stuff.

The Eccleston season had quite a few good episodes too.

NCIS & The Mentalist and the new Hawaii 5-0 are all good shows too.

 

[jcptopi]

Supernatural and Burn Notice.

 

[Yellowbeard]

The Venture Brothers is one of the best animated shows I've seen.

Frisky Dingo is also damn funny.

For truly dark and brilliant humour the english brought us Monkey Dust.

Something shorter and more bizarre would be Xavier: Renegade Angel.

 

[mighty_honour_korea]

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

FARSCAPE!! why has this not been mentioned yet. Outside of anything by Joss Whedon, Farscape has the most character development of any show ever!! And not just the main character, but every1 from friends to villians all change, adapt, grow according to what has happened to them and is threatening them.

It is the best show no one watched, and the most "human" show even though there is only one human in it. if you are not completely hooked by the end of the first season you are not a human being and I deny your existence.

Similiarly Battlestar Galactica (new one) is very much a human drama, but it starts of in a dark place, the near genocide of the human race, and gets darker from there. But there is not as much contrast as in farscape, diversity is the spice of life, and farscape has its moments of levity in order to drop you further and to make you cherish the good times. Joss Whedon does this, though usually his characters don;t live long enough after they;re happy to get trod on again, except for the whole being dead thing.

I just finished watching season 5 of Dexter and now have nothing to watch sooooooooo I was hoping you fine gentlemen from the lands of escapistmagazine.com would be able to share your T.V wisdom with me. My favorite series have been prison break, dexter, and battle star galatica. I'm not a big fan of anime. THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.

Oh *****...I was totally going to suggest Dexter and BSG. Stargate SG-1 and it's spin-offs' are actually good (No idea why the entire world seems to hate the series, yet no hate for Vampire Diaries? WTF?!), Invasion was one season but rocked, Jericho was two (Well, one and a half)...Lost if you want to break your mind and waste a hundred or so hours, The Sopranos (Obviously), Heroes, Rome, Spartacus, Deadwood, Outrageous Fortune (Biased since I'm a kiwi, but wicked show anyway)....to name a few from my DVD collection.

 

[Naheal]

Farscape. It has Claudia Black.

 

[theevilsanta]

24, Firefly, both great series. Looking at your favs I'd consider The Wire. If you can stand sitting through all five seasons of Dexter than The Wire should be the perfect pace. It really is a fascinating and excellent series.

edit - oh and the first season of Heroes is pretty great. 2nd is worse. after that ... god be with you

Breaking Bad. Everyone needs to watch this show. So good, words can not describe how original it is.
I also quite like Privelaged, but that's a "girly" show so I wouldn't recommend it to you.

[Daedalus1942]

Also, everyone needs to watch Cromartie High.
Love that show. So arbitrary, random and messed up, but quite clever, simply for the "wtf factor"

The Wire, it really is as good as everyone says.

Deadwood, I'll just say what I say to everyone who starts watching Deadwood, you are going to fucking love Al Swearengen despite your first impressions.

Life, only two seasons. In my oninion they tacked on a silly ending as a bit of miss-guided fan-service but otherwise it was excellent.

and lets step into the wayback machine and I'll reccommend

Homicide: Life on the Streets for when you need more gritty Baltimore after finishing The Wire.

Damn, BSG was the first thing I thought of. I have all 6 seasons of House on DVD, so if you are into that, try those. Futurama might be your style, season five just came out, plus there are like 4 movies between seasons four and five. 24 is a great show, but the seasons of that are kind of pricey...
