Best TV shows out right now?

I've never been a real big TV fan in the past, but lately I've been getting into TV a lot more (with DVR and torrents ) and I'm interested in catching up on a lot of shows I may have missed.

I'm also really bad at knowing when new pilots happen and when new seasons start. So - what's out there right now? What shows should I catch up on before the next season starts, and what shows are on currently?

Right now I'm catching up on Heroes and Lost. I've already watched (and loved) Rome. Are the other HBO shows as awesome?

Any suggestions are awesome. I'm into just about any kind of genre as long as the stories/characters are good. Drama, historical, comedy, sci-fi, whatever =)

Thanks guys!



Edit: Also, I'm having problems at my new location with seeding torrents. It tells me that I haven't opened the port, but I know I have. Therefore I'm cautious to download shows from TorrentLeech for fear of screwing up my ratio. Are newsgroups a viable option for TV shows?

Have a look at TVRage.Com and TV.com both sites make it easy to keep a track of new shows, schedules and so forth.

Yep, alot of HBO shows are as good as Rome, even though if you ask me, Rome was the best thing they have done. Shows you should be watching on HBO atm is Entourage and Flight of the Conchords. Past shows which have ended but are worthing seeing are, Deadwood, Sopranos and Carnival.

Yeah, most newsgroups should be a good way for you to catch up on shows and stay updated. You can also just get TV torrents from sites were ratio doesn't really matter.

Oh, and four more shows to add to what others have allready suggested. Im sure there is more, but can't think of anything else at this moment.

Firefly
Dexter
24
Supernatural

In a just world, Veronica Mars would be on this list (or several dozen CW employees would lie broken and bleeding in an alley somewhere). Since that's not the case, the best shows I've been watching are Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, The Shield, Dexter, and Big Love (I'm still catching up this season, but so far it's awesome).

Survivorman is a real show about a guy who is placed in the middle of a terrible location with no food, water, or anything else except a bunch of video cameras. It is just simply incredible. This is not a fake "reality" tv series. This is the real deal.

Seriously has to be half a dozen threads on this very subject. I won't mention any old shows

Best new (2007) stuff I've seen:
Flight of the Conchords
Californiacation
Pushing Daisies
and of course all the new seasons of the old stuff we all love here (dexter, weeds, etc)
