LOST was the only TV show I watched from week-to-week. I've watched all of Prison Break, most of 24, most of Sopranos, all of Twin Peaks, Scrubs, House and Oz. Now there's no TV show that appeals to me anymore.

I've heard good things about Lie To Me, The Wire and Grey's Anatomy, can someone suggest one (non-animated) to me?

All suggestions will be rewarded with a TP.

Tried Fringe?  Holds my interest ..
Stay classy, San Diego. Hello, Baxter? Baxter, is that you? Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee. Is this Wilt Chamberlain? Have the decency to say something.

My favorite show on right now is Justified, which is on FX here in the States.

The Wire is definitely worth watching, and I get a feeling that you'd like The Shield, as well.  Maybe Rescue Me, as well, which is pretty good.

I'm a big fan of Burn Notice, which just started its fourth season on USA at 9 pm Thursday (it is replayed a few times on the weekend as well).  Think a more modern cooler version of MacGyver.

Burn Notice is my favourite show currently on TV. Well worth checking out.

There are only 3 shows ever worth watching religiously. All others are crap. You've got Lost, The Wire, and X-Files. Fringe is actually pretty good, but putting Burn Notice in the same conversation as Lost is SICKENING!!

After Lost, there is nothing to watch on TV, dude. Just hang 'em up.

That's what I thought.

I'll check into these other shows though, at least read up on them to see if I'll like them.

I would recommend all of those previously mentioned as well.

I will add:

Parenthood (2010 - Present) - One of the best new shows of 2010, family comedy/drama.

Breaking Bad (2008 - Present) - Best series on TV imo. Dark comedy/drama/suspense/action...actually pretty much has everything.

Damages (2007 - Present) - Mystery/Suspense drama about a law firm....utilizes flash backs and flash forwards in the same vein as Lost!

I am pretty sure you can watch all of these on DVD or on demand etc.

I've heard great things about this, but I've never seen it.  Same thing with Mad Men and Sons of Anarchy.

A lot of people I know also like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, but again, I haven't seen it.

This is some good input guys, much appreciated.

Another recommendation for The Wire (IMO - perhaps the greatest show of all time).

The Shield and Sons of Anarchy are both cut from the same serialized cloth. And both are highly addictive. Check out the pilots of either.

Breaking Bad is also tremendous.

I concur. Also "Six Feet Under" is a must see if you haven't watched it before.
