- Arrested Development
- Breaking Bad
- Fringe
- How I Met Your Mother
- The Big Bang Theory
- Terminator TSCC
- The Universe (No matter how interesting this show is, you'll want to kill yourself after watching 10 episodes in a row)
- Like one quarter of Cow and Chicken... just cause I liked that show so much when I was little.
... I'm running out of things to watch, and no, I will not resort to Animé.

If you like Doctor Who, I would suggest Torchwood... There's also a show called Primeval that I haven't watched which looks interesting since its concepts and CGI are awfully similar to Doctor Who/Torchwood.

I gave up on trying to watch all the seasons of Doctor Who, but I did finish all the series. Really good!
Fringe is pretty awesome, I can't wait until next season. Another sciency show is Eureka. I'm currently watching it. They are airing the 3rd season right now.
I also started watching Warehouse 13. There are only 2 episodes right now so I'm not going to rate it.

Thanks, I'll look into Torchwood.

Do you mean all seasons from the very beginning (like from the 1960s)? Because if so, I'm pretty sure that's physically impossible, lol.

Not impossible! Yeah, I started watching the first seasons at the beginning of summer and then just gave up. The episodes are good, it's just the grainy black and white that I can't stare at for hours on end.
If you are interested check it out: Doctor Who Episodes

If you like fringe I'd strongly recommend Lost. It's by far the best show I've seen to date. I think both shows are created by the same guy (JJ Abrams).

Oh, I've actually seen most of Lost. It was really good up until around when that ship showed up off the coast of the island (End of season 4). It really went downhill from there in my opinion, with all the stupid time travel and conspiracy nonsense. The plot got way too complicated.
It really took away the mystery from the whole thing... which I find quite unfortunate :(

!!! imo it actually got better. I found the time travel stuff pretty interesting and it added even more mystery to the whole island thing.

Hmm... maybe I'll try watching it again later on. The gap between season 4 and 5 was pretty massive, and I got lost.

Lmao. Nice joke. I think I might start watching Lost. I heard a lot of good things about it, but haven't actually watched it. I watched a couple episodes scattered here and there, but obviously it made no sense to me whatsoever.

That's not really on topic either...
I had this awesome dream where I was being chased by bats that were 3/4 bat and 1/4 human. I was flying/running really fast and shooting energy beams/balls at them via my hand.
