Fringe lives on in syndication ... Friday nights on Science channel (formerly Discovery Science) has three episodes in a row.

Revolution (NBC here in the U.S.) returns March 25 (IIRC). Good show!

The Walking Dead returns to AMC this coming Sunday (can't wait!).

Not sure if any of this is available in your area.

One show that takes a while to develop but turns out pretty entertaining is "Person Of Interest".   ;D

Check Hulu, there are lots of little known, short lived series that are good, The Dresden Files is one of them. Currently I'm reading the books.

any good therefore that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show
let me not defer nor neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

I second this idea. "Fire Fly" comes to mind if you have never seen it. ;)

I watch;  Big Bang Theory, Castle & the Mentalist.

But I get them via eztv, and watch them at my convenience.

+100 for Mrs  Brown's Boys. If it is shown in the US it maybe be on BBC America. You could also try youtube

Fringe (I was devastated when they finished season 5 and I have learned that there would be no more... It's a "must watch" on my list)
Breaking Bad (I think I don't need to comment on Walter White... Definitely "must watch")
2 Broke Girls (Very funny, heavy humor offensive at times but I find it very good)
Dexter (I have enjoyed every single episode in the 7 seasons so far)
Game Of Thrones (Very good)
Heroes (Great 3 seasons and 1 season that's OK...)
Big Bang Theory (First 3 - 4 seasons are great... then it's going slightly down the hill from there but still funny)
Supernatural (First 7 seasons coz the current 8th one sucks so far and it's 13 episodes in... they should finish on 7th)
The Walking Dead (First season was good, second was boring, third is not to bad so far)
How I Met Your Mother (first 3 seasons after that it's getting lame... but there's still Robin Scherbatsky... and "Barney")
Revolution (2012) (It's ok - Parnote recommended it to me. Not bad...)
Alphas (Hootiegibbon recommended it to me. It's not bad...)
Firefly (series) + the "Serenity" movie that finishes it. I enjoyed the series.
Warehouse 13 - not great - but it had three great smiles of Myka, Claudia and Leena... Enjoyed it...
Hunted - another series recommended by Hootiegibbon - watchable nothing to ambitious.
My name is Earl... First season had me in stitches. Rest of them was ok. Funny but not as funny as season one.
Eureka - watchable likable naive - enjoyed it. (Lots of gorgeous smiles.. Allison, JoJo etc...)
Reaper - funny as heck - the guy who plays the "Satan" is awesome. They never finished it - just stopped making it in the middle - still worth watching.
Weeds... Nancy Botwin... Boy is she hot... Yummy... the series starts slow but when it does... Wow... It gets really good.
Merlin - recommended by Hootiegibbon - never had a chance to watch it but I hear a lot of good things about it.
IT Crowd - must see if You havent so far... ;D "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"

Regards.

If you like Comedy, I have to agree +100 for Mrs Brown's Boys.
I think it's the funniest thing to hit UK television in decades ;D

from what i see we are watching more or less the same  ;D

fringe, it had a real end but seems that people will promote a movie, a small rumor for the moment but could happen, not impossible

at least they had the decency to give it a end that looked like a end

i am watching castle too, i began watching it in season 3 i think, maybe 2, it is good to watch

person of interest has been menaced to be canceled so many times, i don't know what to think about it, will try to watch a couple of chapters

walking dead, yes, i am watching it, sunday won't be a chapter but i will download it form any server that offers it or watch it online, usually it is aired here same week or a week later than on us

the problem i see with how i met your mother is that it is on 8th season, i won't watch all those seasons and i don't follow the story, however, robin is really cute  :D

mrs brown boys, is is a british comedy? never heard of it

i was trying to watch falling skies but not sure if it got canceled or what

nobody is watching greys anatomy?  i find impressive what they make with the characters, it is basically a torture test
