Weekend Open Forum: What TV shows are you following?
There is plenty to choose from on TV right now (or your favorite streaming service): scripted or reality, linear or episodic, entertaining or provocative, and so on. Although there's no denying that a lot of it is rubbish, there are some gems truly worth watching. I often exchange recommendations with like-minded friends on good shows to watch and thought it would make for a good topic in this Weekend Open Forum.
My list is relatively short considering not all of them are airing right now. So, to get the thread started here are the shows I'm currently following: Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother and Mad Men. They're in no particular order but if I had to choose a couple of favorites I'd go with Game of Thrones and Mad Men, since I love the storytelling and depiction of their respective worlds.
What about you: what shows are you keeping up with right now? Is there a new TV show coming up that you're really anticipating? What type of shows do you like in general? Also, feel free to mention other favorite shows that may no longer be airing or that you don't miss each time they pop up in syndication.

Also, been watching a lot of ST:Voyager in reruns. Great show!
Until they came out on Netflix streaming recently, I had never seen Voyager or Deep Space 9. Both were brilliant. I spent about three months watching just about nothing else.

I cut the cable a few months back, so I watch on demand shows from Hulu or Net Flix. I do miss Dr. Who. Bones and House are the only two I'm keeping up with these days.

This Fall season has some pretty good shows:
Mirai Nikki
Guilty Crown
Persona 4
Shakugan no Shana III
Bleach
Though I must admit there are only a few good shows this season. I dropped C3, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai and Phi Brain because they disappointed me after only a few episodes.
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming "Black Rock Shooter" and "Another" looks interesting for this winter season.
Shows that are no longer airing that are really good? "Code Geass" and "Death Note" are a couple of the most gripping shows I've seen.
Would the NHL be considered a show?

Sons Of Anarchy
Family Guy
The Walking Dead
Waiting for the NRL starts next year 2012 March... i cant wait.
And NBA, hoping there is a season this year.

I don't have premium channels. so here is my cable network list:
Sun: Hell On Wheels, The Walking Dead, Once Upon A Time.
Mon: House, Terra Nova, Two and A Half Men
Tues: Nothing. Too much dancing and singing. Un-Reality TV Bites.
Wed: Harry's Law, The Middle, Modern Family, CSI, American Horror Story, Justified (Jan.)
Thurs: Archer, Grey's Anatomy, Person Of Interest, Burn Notice, Big Bang Theory
Fri: Nikita, Fringe, Chuck, Grimm, Supernatural, A Gifted Man
Sat: We watch the show recorded from ab overloaded Friday night schedule. Why not move some of the good shows to Tuesday, so that those of us who don't like the low budget reality crap, have something to watch.
Shows I would like to catch up on: Dexter, Sons Of Anarchy
Shows I recommend you catch up on: Battle Star Galactica, Alias, 24, Lost
Shows that died before their time: Firefly, Eli Stone

+1, so much love for this show. Very cult/underground but easily some of the funniest TV i've ever watched.
Saying that I hardly watch any TV but what I did watch recently was Game of Thrones. I enjoied it so much i'm now reading the books (as lets face it a book is always better). Half way through the 3rd book and it's an epic series! Can't wait for season (book) 2 on TV.
