Gallifrey falls no more.
I'm not going to list everything I watch, that would take way too long. I'll list a select few of my favourite current programs.
Warehouse 13. It may only have six episodes left to show, but it is definitely one of the geekiest things on tv. The things they base episodes on can be so obscure. Also they way they portray H G Wells is.. interesting. But it works. (Side note, a lot of the actors used are from various other Sci-Fi series).
Arrow. Whilst I'm more of a Marvel than DC comics fans, Green Arrow is one of the DC characters I like. Arrow is basically a new version of his origin, but it draws from many aspects of his past comics. It also makes references to other DC heros, and makes it clear that other locations from the DC universe exist within it. Also they've announced that series two will introduce The Flash, and one episode will hopefully act as a backdoor pilot for a Flash series.
Hannibal. Basically a retelling of the Hannibal origin story set in the present. Not really much else to say about it. The acting is brilliant, particularly Mads Mikkelsen who plays Hannibal (Also his brother has been cast as the main villain in series 3 of Sherlock, so that's something to look forward to). I personally didn't expect to like it as much as I do, but it is quite an intelligently written series.
Downton Abbey. Something a little different now. It probably isn't for everyone, in fact I didn't think I'd like it until I watched it. Started watching it a few weeks ago, I ended up watching one series per day for 3 days. Also, it has Maggie Smith, who is without a doubt one of the greatest British actresses.
Honourable mentions:
Firefly
Doctor Who
Community
Sherlock
Primeval
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (I know it hasn't started yet, but it's by Joss Whedon and set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has all the makings of a good series and it's the one new show I'm most excited about seeing this autumn).

Game of Thrones! 8D
Sherlock (SEASON 3 YAY)
Modern family
GoT is a good show, but imo the book series is even better 8D Masterchef is an excellent time killer, but the online drama that follows it is baffling... I didn't even know the show had online drama until this season xD
....I don't watch much TV. :c

Parks and Recreation-the show is great. I love all the characters and every episode is something new.
Gravity Falls-wonderful show towards the beginning, the middle though is slightly weak with characters since they get watered down a little, the ending left me wondering and wondering. Overall, a great cartoon.
Adventure Time-what appears to be a kids show has adult messages in it, loveable characters, and an interesting backstory. One of my favorites.

Okay I'm gonna add, keep watching Supernatural. one of the best shows out there. but don't ep/season skip!! (netflix)
More adding to the lists:
TERRA NOVA. Only one season, you can do it. so gooood. (netflix)
Once Upon A Time is really good. if you're into that sort of thing, it's also very edgy though! not girly. (netflix)
Teen Wolf. not many people like this show, but I really do. it's awesome if you have an open-mind about it. (netflix)
Avatar: TLA. always a good choice, Korra isn't half bad either! (netflix)
Now for my favorite show ever, that no one has mentioned yet(??)
SMALLVILLE. (primewire.ag, movie4k.to)
Smallville is 10 seasons all about Clark Kent up to the day he becomes Superman. It is so action packed, intense, great character development, foreshadowing to the max, and brilliant writing.
As long as you don't mind sitting through the first 3 seasons of some sappy Clark/Lana stuff... but give the show credit, it started in the eeeearly 2000's! ANYWAY,
it's FANTASTIC. you should try it.
So there's my help

The total drama series on cartoonnetwork actually shows how people would react to a vote-off tournament more than people think.
Adventure time just because it's... adventure time!
Regular show
The original Pokemon seasons on Boomerang. Boomerang cycles from the first episode to the last episode of the sinnoh saga over the course of a long time. And the current season on Cartoonnetwork
Tom and Jerry on Cartonnetwork in the morning/afternoon
What's New, Scooby Doo? On cartonnetwork
Scooby Dooby Doo, Where are you? On Boomerang
Tom and Jerry Tales on Catoonnetwork
Looney Tunes on Cartoonnetwork in the morning/afternoon
The Looney Tunes Show on Cartoonnetwork
The FlintStones, Top Cat, The Jetsons, everything that's old on Boomerang
The Last Airbender on Nicktoons
The Legend of Korra on Nicktoons
Dragon Ball Z Kai on Nicktoons (Way better than the original, the Ginyu Force has their own theme song, and it rocks!)
Dragon Ball GT on Nicktoons
Yu-Gi-Oh on Nicktoons
None of Disney's cartoons, they are SO boring. I hope disney eventually falls on it's money-filled butt
King of The Hill on Adult Swim (Counterpart of Cartoonnetwork)
American Dad on Adult Swim
Family Guy on Adult Swim
Any anime online or on Adult Swim you like
Those are all the animated stuff I watch. As for Unanimated,
Not really a show, but Baseball, Basketball, and Football can be exciting at times
Survivor Man (Whatever version they have of it now)
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Saturday Night Live
I forgot the name of it, but that really cool show they used to, and maybe still have on G4 of a japanese game course show
Cops on G4, wherever it's at
Some of the food and cooking channel's shows are pretty good
The News (If you want to listen to negative crap all the time. They don't tell the whole truth sometimes too)
The Olympic Games whenever they happen
Any good home shows
1,000 ways to die
SOME of the music on the music video channels are good.
I watch all of those. Sue me.
