LOST. I mean it. LOST. Seriously. People are always accusing it of jumping the shark (and, I admit, I have my qualms about Season 3, which we're in right now), but Seasons 1 and 2, both of which are out on DVD, are EFFING BRILLIANT.

I second ono's suggestion of Carnival. Absolutely amazing, epic, scary, funny, and a short-run to a satisfying question-mark of a conclusion. The same sort of ending Twin Peaks had. Some "conclusion-oriented" viewers had a real problem with it, but for an individual who is as comfortable with ambiguity as you are, you'll absolutely love the way it ends. I certainly did.

Speaking of which, the second season of Twin Peaks is due out on DVD in April, and the first season is out already. Worth a re-watch.

See The Office. It's Ricky Gervais translated for the American palate, and shockingly enough, it's only improved by the translation. In my opinion, Steve Carell is the finest comic actor of our time.

Heroes isn't out on DVD yet, as we're still in the first season, but if you've got a BitTorrent client nearby, you can get your mitts on every episode to date. If you've ever even glanced at a comic book, you'll love Heroes.
