Mythbusters and House are about the only shows I watch.
And Penn & Teller do good stuff too.

It did seem to be moving a bit slow, but I'm willing to give them a couple of episodes to get the characters fleshed out and pick up the action a bit. It's a complaint I've made about Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire too, but they generally manage to pull a good tale together.

Sons of Anarchy
Parks & Recreation
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Boardwalk Empire
Hung
Dexter
Terra Nova (though it could be a lot better...it's mainly just a cool idea)
Game of Thrones (coming back soon)
House
Community
The Office

There's a lot of good, or at least decent stuff out there.  I also watch The Vampire Diaries, but it's more of a guilty pleasure and less of an objectively good show ;)

I also tried to like Penn & Teller Tell a Lie, but it seems so mechanical.  It's also on Discovery as opposed to Showtime, and it feels like it's intended for people to watch with kids (especially with the gimmicky online voting schtick).  I'd rather watch Mythbusters.

Walking Dead is really starting to piss me off this season. It's super slow compared to the last, and I'm starting to not like most of the characters.   I hope it gets better.
