HBO's a hell of a common denominator for quality. If you liked The Wire then David Simon also made a miniseries about the first 40 or so days of the invasion of Iraq in 03... and last sunday his new series Tremé premiered. Oz is also quality, for at least 3-4 seasons. I really liked Six Feet Under as well.
As for Breaking Bad... it's good, and it's interesting... but it builds quite slowly and takes its time in every way. Can't tell how highly I'll rank it till we start seeing where the third season is going, though.
Oh! And Deadwood... Deadwood is based on a prospecting town in South Dakota... has a rich gallery of characters, a crassness mixed with lofty and lovely language... is good for laughs, has one, if not the coolest bad guy ever in Al Swearengen, and I was sad when the third season ended. Quality.
Good mix there. Dexter is an obvious one which I'm pretty sure you'll be hooked on after the very first episode, there's True Blood too. You'd also probably like Arrested Development and I'd also give Hung a go.
If you really appreciate a well made production try Band of Brothers.
And yes Breaking Bad is recommended.
PLAY has a bargain on The West Wing box set at the moment.
I'm tempted myself after hearing all the positive feedback on it. Is it really that good?

I've recently started watching Oz and so far it's been pretty good.
I watched the first 4 episodes and it didn't really do it for me, has it improved since then?
From what I have seen it's about an angry bald cop breaking down doors.
What's true blood about?
The Wire. Breaking Bad. Sons of Anarchy. Deadwood.
Zain, based on those comedies you listed, you have to watch Arrested Development.
Vampires. It's set in a small Louisiana town in a world where vampires live amongst humans. Being a small town, it gets it's first vampire resident who quickly forms a love relationship with the main character Sookie, a waitress at the local. Then people start dying and theres lots of hot sex.
It's good because the characters are addictive plus it's dark yet comical at the same time.
you definitely want to watch Spartacus "Kill them all" tonight. It promises to be deadly and bloody.
You might as well add Fringe to you list. Great show.

Fringe is pretty good havent been keeping up that much with the second season but it seems to be episodes are unrelated this season outside
of this huge arc that his son isnt really his soon
You should definitely watch the Wire again. Boston Legal is well worth watching.
Anyone watch "Weeds"
How is it?
How is it?
The West Wing is an absolutely brilliant show, really well written and the acting is excellent. It really depends on your own tastes though, I've recommended it to some friends who've loved it and others who just found it boring
In my opinion Mad Men is the best show on tv at the moment, I've just finished watching the first two seasons on dvd and its superb

Nobody has mentioned The Thick of It, its superb.
The Sopranos is top quality television, highly recommended.

Yeah, anyone got an opinion on this? Have this on DVD, wondering if this is worth the watch.
Yeah listen to this man, Fringe is excellent. Like the X-files but in more focused concentrated form.
Yeah you get to find out where he got his son from, i'd already figured this out during season 1.
Finished Lost also now. So got nothing to watch. What do I watch now?
Is fringe really worth watching?

I found it pretty funny, it really gets good around the 2nd season.
Hung good call. Really try Breaking Bad again , takes about 4-5 episodes for it to really get going in the first series.
I've enjoyed watching the first series of Ashes to Ashes.
The Sopranos. Best TV show of all time for me.
Another vote for Breaking Bad, its a brilliant show
The Sopranos.
I tried Breaking Bad, it's just Weeds, minus the humor.
I left watching it after season 1

It's miles better than Weeds, and it has some brilliant dark humor in it.
I don't know man, literally EVERYONE I know who's watched this show recommend it and speak highly of it. I watched season 1, it wasn't all that, just a generic guy-in-a-bad-spot-and-has-to-take-care-of-his-family drama. I should really watch season 2 then.
^^ Yeah I got the same feeling. Everyone loves it but I just could not get into it for some reason.
Mad Men is the same.
Yeah never found that interesting either.
Really can't decide what to watch now. Fringe also I'm not really sure about. Gues il give i a try. Still got lots of Numb3rs to watch too.

Numb3rs. I think it is the worst T.V. program I've ever seen, if you can call it that.
I watched season 1 of Fringe too, that's so shit. The ending just takes the cake. Useless, clueless, fecking morons run around for 30 minutes, and in the end that retarded scientist breaks the case because in the 60s the U.S. government had asked him to make XYZ and the bad guys are using it right now, and to break XYZ, you have to do 123. They do 123, and the episode is over.
Get on The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, True Blood, or Nip/Tuck.

Numb3rs is a good series to watch a one off episode if you got nothing to do. I got the DVD of season 1 somewhere with me so mayb eil watch some episodes.
Yeah I know I'm not sure I really want to watch Fringe.
True blood again does not really interest me. I'l try re watching The Wire maybe or try the Pilot of Fringe. ANy other recommendations?

Jericho is awesome ! Was gutted when it got cancelled, still haven't finished season 2 though.
A shocking lack of Carnivale in this thread imo.
