I love certain TV shows, but I'm tired of watching the same old shows over and over. I'm creating this thread for anyone who'd like to mention television shows others might not know about. I know I like to see something new.

Me too. I've been watching it on Me-TV over a Digital subchannel. Actually I'm watching old B&W reruns from over the air television in the evenings more than from my satellite system.
 
Favorite Shows:

Babylon 5
Angel
Farscape
Robin Hood(BBC)
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Penn & Teller's Bullsh@t!
Jeremiah
Game of Thrones
Weeds
X-Files
The Lone Gunmen
Firefly(even though it really didn't have chance to develop)
Crusade(same as firefly)
Orange is the New Black

Shows I've tried to watch, but didn't really care for:
Mad Men
Sons of Anarchy
Lost
House of Cards
Doctor Who
Star Trek(I did grow up watching TNG though)
Merlin

That's off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more but I'm drawing a blank

As for comedy, I can't say I've ever enjoyed comedy shows, I like intricate plotlines
 
I like "Person of Interest", the last few episodes have been really good.

Although it's gross, American Horror's "coven" is good.
 
The only show I am actively watching and waiting for is Game of Thrones.
