I like How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men (seasons 1-8), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, SNL, Futurama, South Park, House, Lost (when it was on), Boston Legal (also, when it was on) and a lot more. What about you?
What TV shows do you guys like to watch?
In addition to anime, Mythbusters, Archer, Adventure Time/Regular Show, Man vs Food and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives even though everyone at Giant Bomb seems to hate the host of that show.
Castle, Star Trek: The Next Generation and newer (mostly because of how dumb it became) and if Anime counts then there's a lot more where it came from.
Currently the P4 anime has me surprised.
Mad Dogs, Life On Mars/Ashes to Ashes (I'm from the UK, for the record), It's Always Sunny, How I Met Your Mother, Community, Lost, Red Dwarf, The IT Crowd, Father Ted, Fawlty Towers, Dr Who (Tennant-era, though I am up to date on it for Amy Pond's sake), Sherlock.
There's a lot of stuff I've liked over the past few years, though I'd appreciate someone suggesting something new for me to watch!
Community (I'll never figure out why this was cancelled...), Mad Men, The Office, South Park, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, and pretty much any documentary on history or serial killers.

Community isn't cancelled! I swear!
Bad source, but it's all I could find. The rest of season three is definitely airing, with the possibility of a season four after that (unlikely, though).
Community is the best thing on network television, by the way. Everyone should check it out.
The Walking Dead, just waiting for the next season, that's the only thing really. I don't watch TV anymore, but when i used to i watched stuff like The First 48, City Confidential, American Justice, Cold Case Files, Medical Detectives -at some point i wanted to become a homicide detective-, reruns of Married with Children and Seinfeld... and before that, i watched series like The Shield, Rescue Me and reruns of The X-files. Those are the ones i remember right one.
Uh... not many. Keep in mind that I don't have cable. Even if I don't, I would rather watch most things via Netflix or DVD or something, anything, other than TV.
I do like to watch some anime (see avatar), but not tons. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is due for a rewatch, especially since I finished the first around the end of Christmas Break. Cowboy Bebop is due for another one as well. I just finished watching Baccano for the second time about two weeks ago but I'm already itching to see that again.
What's that? You're wondering why I'm rewatching them, instead of finding new shows? I like seeing things two or three times. The first time so that all of the revelations and twists are surprising, and the second so that I can catch any other details that I may have missed.
For Western things, I like to watch Futurama, Scrubs, and MASH. If Wipeout is on TV and I'm bored, I'll watch that. It's about the only thing that's actually on TV that I watch. I also have a season of Stargate Atlantis that I haven't finished watching yet.
And those are the big ones. I guess you could count Law and Order (also on TV, not DVD or internet), but by this point all of the plots in that show and its various incarnations start to run together. Lie To Me was interesting for a while, but now I'm getting into shows that are only of a passing interest to me so I'll stop now.
EDIT: How the fuck did I forget Star Trek TNG? I don't much like the rest but TNG is pretty interesting when it comes on.
Pretty much all the major current shows on HBO, FX, AMC and Showtime (Stuff like Game of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hung, Louie, Justification, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Californication, Dexter etc.). Spartacus on Starz is quite awesome, don't think they'll get over the death of its leading man (Andy Whitfield R.I.P) though. Quite a few sitcoms, especially like the NBC stuff - Community, Office, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock. Some SyFy shows are okay too, like Eureka. Fox's animation stuff is okay and Fringe of course. ABC has Modern Family and How I Met Your Mother. Comedy Central's The Daily Show and Southpark. Some of the Adult Swim stuff like Robot Chicken. The list goes on and on and on.
I'll just leave this little tease here...

If you don't know, the director and composer are getting reunited for a new anime called Sakamichi no Apollon.
Just thought I'd mention!
Didn't the same guy create Samurai Champloo? I believe his name is Shinichiro Watanabe or something along those lines? This might sound crazy, but I haven't gotten around to that one yet.
Breaking Bad, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones, South Park, Walking Dead, Sopranos and Seinfeld.
The Sopranos, Dexter, The Walking Dead, Justified, 24(except for I believe it was season 6 and 7 I didn't like), Doctor Who, The Big Bang Theory, Psych, American Horror Story, and I am sure there are some I am forgetting but that is what comes to mind.
Parks and Rec, The Soup, and my two favorites: Adventure Time and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Whoa whoa whoa! I need more info and I need it now!
I'll limit to shows that are currently running or have a new season coming up.
30 Rock, Parks & Rec, Community, The Office, Downton Abbey, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Top Chef, Louie (although I haven't caught up on the last season), Fringe, Doctor Who, Torchwood (although they're on thin ice after that last season), Sherlock, Justified, Dexter.

I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who and have yet to see Torchwood. Is that any good?
I just watched both seasons of Party Down. Absolutely loved that show. It's a shame it was cancelled, I really wanted to see what was going to happen to the two lead characters.
**SPOILER**
I really liked the way it ended. Cancelled shows that leave things unresolved usually bother me, but I was fine with the way Party Down met its end. Had it continued, I'm sure Lizzy Caplan and Adam Scott (sorry, I forgot their character names) would have reunited. The way it ended felt realistic. Relationships, more often than not, do not have happy endings. Instead we get one with a broken heart, the other giving up and moving on with life.

I liked it quite a bit. It's more adult themed than Doctor Who and often more serious in tone, but still has some of that humor. The first two seasons follow the Doctor Who thing of having different monsters and problems thrown at them each week with the occasional two-part episode. Season 3 is a single story told over 5 or so episodes. It was okay and fit in with the rest of the series. Many changes happen. Four is a huge departure and not very good. That's when the production company changed.
If you like Doctor Who give at least the first two seasons a watch. If you're in the US and have Netflix they're available for streaming.
Mythbusters/Head Rush, Top Gear U.K., most of whatever is on the science channel or BBC America. That's about all that's current. Currently diving into watching the rest of Sliders & the original Star Trek series to see what I missed or just mark them off the list of watching all of it. Dvd libraries of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Addams Family, Twin Peaks & X-files are always shows that I'll dive into for a while to see them.
Shows I'm watching and/or have finished watching
Doctor Who (My current favorite show. Only started watching last year. Haven't seen any pre reboot but I've loved the last 6 seasons)
TorchWood (Due to Doctor Who. It was decent but not great)
Burn Notice (Though I haven't watched the last season)
True Blood (Oh man, this is a guilty pleasure. I know it's stupid, and the plot is ridiculous, but I can't stop)
Big Bang Theory (I thought it was dumb, then I started watching it and now I really like it)
Walking Dead (The series feels like it's getting stale but I'll keep watchin cuz I love me some zombies. . . *insert* obligatory comic was better)
Game of Thrones (This one I'm looking forward to the TV series over the books. I feel like the series is falling into the same hole of despair Wheel of Time did)
Dexter (Series is also starting to age but at least the last season finale is a game changer)
Venture Brothers (Is this show ever coming back?)
Breaking Bad (NNNnnnngggggghhhh)
Eureka (Another guilty pleasure)
Alphas (Yet another guilty pleasure)
Adventure Time (Just heard about and watched these recently. Good god, makes me wish I still smoked pot)
Had a binge where I watched a ton of CSI in a row, then quit when it got old. Maybe 2 seasons worth.
A hodgepodge of korean dramas, which unlike American TV, actually have stories that begin and end. Maybe the stories are a bit ridiculous and almost always are based around relationships and other madness, but I still appreciate the beginning, middle and end as opposed to keep pumping out episodes till the show sucks.
