Right now my current favorite shows are:

Supernatural
Fringe
Glee
The Big Bang Theory
Breaking Bad
Dexter
True Blood
Misfits
Survivor
The Walking Dead
Game of Thrones

I had to remove Nikita, Warehouse 13 and Oprah from the rotation for various reasons..

Drawn entirely from current shows and nothing in reruns, so my answer would be different come January when the mid season shows roll out, but:

Dancing With The Stars
Survivor (and why was this not on your list Hal?)
TruTV presents World's Dumbest (and also the show 'Most Shocking')
Ghost Adventures (I only got into this over the summer, but right now I look forward to it every week more than perhaps any other show)
Top Gear (EDIT: UK original, NOT the American remake which I do not watch)
The Amazing Race
EDIT: Breaking Bad...my bad for forgetting it...

And of course...lots of English Premier League footie every weekend and overnight showings of Sky Sports News, and my own show 'The Absolute Bastards', which at this point only I can see as it exists in my head...

Again...ask in January or over the summer, you'll get different answers.

Most of the time, I put the tv on to give me something to ignore while I'm doing something else, but I occasionally make time for the following:

Attack of the Show
Breaking Bad*
The Big Bang Theory*
The Walking Dead*
Warehouse 13
Eureka
Haven
Alphas
True Blood
Game of Thrones*
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
The Joy of Painting reruns on PBS*
This Old House ( I actually have a thing for home building and repair on tv)
Modern Marvels
How It's Made (This show is so fascinating)
Ghost Hunters
Ghost Adventures
Ninja Warrior
Televised sports: Baseball, Football, and Hockey
Old History Channel shows that are actually about history and not about new age conspiracy theory crap.

I tried giving time to Terra Nova but I found it to be a little underwhelming. I'm trying to get into Person of Interest. I'm looking forward to seeing American Horror Story this coming Wednesday on FX.

I used to give time to the following but as they're no longer on the air:

The X-Files
Millenium
Brimstone
Farscape (big fan of this one)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Firefly
Highlander
It Takes A Thief (Discovery channel from 2005 to 2007)
Quantum Leap
Battlestar Gallactica (reimagined)

I *ed must watch shows.

Deadliest catch?

I hate that show...it's the pioneer of every crap reality show on TV. And mind you, I love reality shows. But, those 'watch guys work and bitch' ones are just awful.

Awful.

There are lots of shows I'll watch if they're on... a few favorite to catch are Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Man vs Food, Diner's Drive-ins and Dives, 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation

But my MUST watch is shorter:
Big Bang Theory
Breaking Bad
Curb Your Enthusiasm
House
Modern Family
Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon
The Office
Tosh.0

Entourage :( RIP

I'd like another few shows to watch but sci-fi/fantasy TV isn't my thing, neither is high-drama or crime/cop shows. I'll take recommendations beyond that :lol:
