The Venture Bros.--Its animated but its some of the freshest comedy I've ever seen, great parody of superhero fiction and life
The Wire--most realistic crime drama on TV
My favorite show overall is still The Amazing Race, several seasons are out on DVD. Yes, it's reality TV but it's the best reality TV there is. Its really more of a travel show than anything else. They travel around the world and yell at each other, so you don't have to.
I can second Sopranos (my whole italian family loves it), Firefly, and House (House is the only medical setting show I can stand). I love Curb Your Enthusiasm too, it's like Seinfeld 2.0.
I only watch shows that are well-written so you won't go wrong there.

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
