When i say Dislike thats a bit harsh, i watched the first couple of episodes of each and never got into them... So, if I get no suggestions ill probably persevere with those, but, please recommend anything im missing from that list of likes.

If you like sex, drugs and rock n' roll (maybe) then check out Californication.

Persevere with The Wire and The Sopranos. They're two of the best television shows ever made.

Thanks, I saw the first couple of series of West Wing... Then realised i didnt understand most of it, it appears i can pickup the complete boxset cheaply so should get back into it. Dexter looks interesting dont know how i missed that, and Californication has Duchovny, not seen him in anything other than Xfiles, so that could be good. Cheers so far, keep them coming.

Game of Thrones
Californication
The Borgias
Sons of Anarchy
Justified

Probably the five best American shows on TV right now.

Burn Notice is a great spy/action show.

Town Called Eureka and Warehouse 13 are great nerdy shows.

You'll know within 2 episodes whether you're going to like them or not, so it's not a huge time investment

ER is another show that you can pick up a full run boxset. 15 odd seasons should keep you busy for a while.

For comedy I'm hooked on 30 Rock and How I Met Your Mother at the moment.

Leverage is another one - very light hearted Hustle style show - 4th season starts this summer

Also give Castle a look in - 3 seasons in with 4 coming later in the year hopefully!
