Warehouse 13 - Pretty cool series.

Firefly + Serenity(Movie) - Very Awesome Series, should never had been cancelled

Heroes - Good series, even if it gets frustrating that the healer still has not learned to carry syringes to plunge their blood into people who get hurt!

Actually gets even better. The subtleties and foreshadowing of certain plot threads merely add to it as you start to spot them.

Just finished the last series of The Wire. Excellent stuff.
Doctor Who of course.
Wallander. I must admit to preferring the Swedish series. Not dissing Kenneth Branagh, but the BBC remake is almost a bit too dystopian atmosphere. And that's pretty bad for a Swedish crime series.
And of course Poirot. Can't go wrong with the Belgian detective for some late night entertainment.

No need for a TV license. What little time I have to spare can easily be filled by a couple of DVDs and BBC iPlayer!  ;D

I had never heard it till this year. Apparently in order to have a TV in the UK you have to pay for a license.

They are quite serious about this issue, they keep spamming everyone with a lot of threatening mails which are dully recycled.

Yeah, they get very keen and big-brother about it - some of the adverts are deeply offensive.

It is one of those things that would never get invented now but is left because it's there.   It's what pays for the BBC so its not going anytime soon as they scream if the subject is raised.

I just finished the boxed set of Cadfael which I recommend to all BR fans and in particular priest/law regents.  I'm currently watching the last episodes of Sword of Truth, V, and Stargate Universe.  I have been pleasantly surprised by sword of truth, really am not sure about V and fear it is going too BSG, and am happy with SGU although it doesn't match its predecessors in the action department.

Glee, Doctor Who, Fringe, and Castle.  And I think my wife is going to start us on Lost.  God save our souls.

Since it is the summer these are the only shows worth watching here that are not on summer reruns.
