In no particular order....

Auf Wiedersehen Pet (especially series 1 and 2)
The West Wing
Lost
Life on Mars
Outlaws (Phil Daniels as dodgy lawyer - quite superb but hard to find)
Early Doors
Waking the Dead
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (first 2 series)
V (original series)
The Wire.

I like TV more than music anyways... (not always true, opinions may vary, your home is not at risk...)

Doctor Who - is a weekly must-watch.
Springwatch - Chris Packham is delightfully odd. (Not Oddie. Nothing against the sainted Bill, of course.)
24 - all finished :-( but Jack bowed-out brilliantly.
The Sopranos (of course).
The Wire (natch...).
Battlestar Galactica - still only three series in... trying to find time for it, currently.
The Simpsons - still one of the best things on TV.
Ashes to Ashes - lost touch with it, and am catching up with series 2 on DVD - series 3 is Sky plussed.
Life On Mars - just fabulous - I love John Simm - he's a fine, fine actor.
Spooks - I know it's a bit silly at times, but quality silly.
Merlin - a good family watch.

Those are the main things... I'm sure there's more. I try to be selective - time is tight.

Spaced
Firefly
I Didnt Know You Cared - just the first series, before they changed the actor who played Carter Brandon
Red Dwarf
Spooks
The Lakes
Tutti Frutti
Thunderbirds (just edging out Fireball XL5)
Ideal
Life On Mars

... on TV over here at the moment - not even on BBC America. It's all cooking & reality series.

Having said that, they (BBC America) recently started showing the second series of Ashes To Ashes (not a patch on LOM) and Peep Show.

I'm enjoying Ideal and the (second?) series of Look Around You. This is the the Tomorrow's World spoof. The spoof schools TV series was better.

Of all the domestic TV to choose from, Treme (brought to you by the makers of The Wire) is probably the best of the bunch. I'm also enjoying a new series called The Good Guys, a comedy cop show. Daft but fun. It's only 3 episodes old so I'm not holding my breath in case it gets canceled.

I'll probably think of a load more as soon as I click on the "post comment" button.

The Avengers
Buffy
The Wire
Black Books
The Book Club
Dexter
True Blood
Jonathan Creek (if only because I am working my way through the whole set when my girlfriend and her daughter visit, and I treasure those hours when we all cuddle up on the sofa together)
Doctor Who (if only because I can't think of any other programme which I make certain to watch at the moment, even if I am sometimes disappointed with it)

Buffy
NYPD Blue
The Avengers (Emma Peel era)
West Wing
Six Feet Under
True Blood
Firefly (on DVD)
The Likely Lads/Whatever Happened...
Fawlty Towers
Planet Holby

70s Doctor Who
Life on Mars
The Professionals
The Sweeney
Minder (first five series)
Clangers
Bagpuss
The Changes

As cutting edge as ever...

...I think that Extras is even better than The Office. I never thought I'd say that. Or that I could ever bear to watch it more than once; but I've done it three times now and I think it gets better and better. It's so bleak, credible and funny; and that Christmas special must be one of the darkest pieces of yuletide viewing to ever grace a TV screen.

Twin Peaks

No, that's not right. I love TV. But I really hate it. I love good TV, and I love the idea of good TV. But there just isn't enough good TV.

I'm quite enjoying the Ricky Gervais animated show just now, much to my confusion. When I heard about the idea it just seemed too laboured.... but it kind of works.

I usually end up watching a TV series years after they've been transmitted/everybody else has watched them.

I'd probably like The Sopranos, The Wire, West Wing, 24 etc if I found the desire to watch them.

I've got hundreds but only one for this blog (& I'll probably be only one)

GREEN ACRES.
US 60's sitcom & seriously one of the most surreal, absurd shows there's ever been

Dad's Army
The Simpsons
Out Of Town
The Wire
The Royle Family
The Old Grey Whistle Test
Mastermind
Father Ted
The World At War
Brideshead Revisited

30 Rock - I don't know when Alec Baldwin became a comedy genius, but...
The Wire - still the best sustained TV series I've seen
Dexter - Wildly implausible, nail biting fun
6 Feet Under - Superior, surreal soap with many enjoyable tics
The League of Gentlemen - Laugh out loud, touching (has there been a sadder scene than Les McQueen realising he's been conned?), dark and wildly eccentric
Green Wing - It didn't sound promising on paper - comedy by committee - but this was a breath of comedic fresh air on release
Spaced - Full of marvellousness, and eminently quotable

and of the more vintage ones
A Very Peculiar Practice - I'd love to see this again, so I could remember why I remember enjoying it so much.
Sapphire and Steel - Bonkers, and creepy as hell in places. Looks a bit dated, but was teeming with ideas
That Rose thing with Alan Davies, the title of which I can't quite recall.

I also feel a lot of affection for 1960s American comedies from my childhood; did we make any of our own tv in those days?
The Munsters, The Addams Family, Mr Ed, Get Smart, Gilligan's Island, Casey Jones, Beverley Hillbillies, My Favorite Martian.

The Wire
I'm Alan Partridge
Peep Show
The Office
Fawlty Towers
Grange Hill (early - from about 79 to 83)
Nuts In May
Three In A Bed
Twin Peaks
Black Adder
Father Ted
One Foot In The Grave
Tales of the Unexpected (just plain odd and frequently hilarious)

I'm suprised to be the first to mention one of Mike Leigh's classic TV productions. In fact the lists so far are suprisingly lacking in the works of classic British TV names such as Harold Pinter, Dennis Potter and Alan Bleasdale.

I'd also like to draw attention to One Foot In The Grave, which never quite gets the praise that Fawlty Towers and Only Fools do. The mildly surreal storylines and endless array of misfortunate incedents that the lead character has to confront make it something of a pre-cursor to Curb Your Enthusiasm. I guess it may be that the elderly are not a trendy subject matter - but I've always found it far less sentimental and nauseating than Only Fools..
