Thanks for adding to my list Peter
Taggart
Rebus
Only fools and horses

Hardly watch any American or Australian TV. The old British series just can't be beat in my opinion. In Australa we used to have to rely on the Government TV station to bring out the British shows but over the last 2 years we have gotten 16 digital stations, so the old favorites are being rolled out. It's great

How did I forget Dexter? We don't have Showtime, but we have the first five seasons on DVD. My wife's aunt is an exec at Comcast, and sends us tons of promo merchandise for the show. Too bad they don't yet serve our area...that family discount would be sweeeet!

House is a good one too.

Doc Martin...beautiful scenery, a doctor who can not stand the sight of blood with a tongue that would reduce a grown man to tears.

My wife and I recently discovered a show on ABC called Happy Endings which we really like.

I really enjoy Downton Abbey myself, just started watching Luther which is amazing as well. Also enjoy Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Sons of Anarchy.

I found Sherlock extremely disappointing despite the fine acting - the scripts absolutely massacre Conan Doyle's stories.

I only have 4 new/current shows right now that I watch with any regularity: Once Upon a Time, Terra Nova, Grey's Anatomy and Fringe. Since they're all evening shows, and I work most evenings, I have to watch them online. I don't have cable/dish, just broadcast (free), so I don't know anything about any of the other shows that have been mentioned. (I have a digital tuner for my VCR, but it's a little flaky- the tuner, not the VCR, so I can't rely on it much for trying to record those shows. My TV has a digital tuner built in, so I can watch things while I'm home with no trouble.)

I do tend to catch some re-broadcasts of OLD - 'old' being a relative term, with apologies to our members who saw some of these shows the first time around - TV shows on the local digital stations (e.g. 3.2 is 'this.TV', 32.2 is 'Me.TV', 41.2 is 'Antenna.TV')*, but I don't make it a point to watch them all the time. This.TV shows mostly movies (MGM/UA). The other two show things like, 'The Rifleman', 'Adam-12', 'Dragnet', 'Mission:Impossible' (with Peter Graves), 'Hazel', 'Bachelor Father', 'The Jack Benny Show', 'The Burns and Allen Show', 'Hawaii Five-O' (with Jack Lord), etc. You can look up the listings/schedule online and find out if your local stations has one of these services.

* 3.1, 32.1 and 41.1 are some of the local 'main' broadcast channels where the news and current shows are aired.
