I'd say some of my favourites have already been mentioned, but I have others as well! I, too agree that most of what's on tv these days is pure trash. Occasionally there's a diamond in the rough, though. And with that said, I love a lot of the older shows like (of course) M*A*S*H, I Love Lucy, Golden Girls, Night Court, All in the Family, Murphy Brown, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Wings, Mad About You, Northern Exposure, etc... Those are all American shows.
Lately, however, I've had a friend get me into a few very good Canadian shows that I really loved from the get-go, such as Wind at My Back, Corner Gas and Little Mosque on the Prairie. I would suggest Wind at My Back if you liked The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie. I'd suggest Corner Gas if you like quirky, silly half hour sitcoms full of light sarcasm. And I'd suggest Little Mosque on the Prairie if you like 30 minute funny sitcoms that are also about small quirky towns where different races and religions must intermingle and get along.

Little Mosque on the Prairie - I must track that down!! Torchwood is great - BBC Wales - although the last series is a merge with some American tv company

No particular order:
I Love Lucy Lost American Horror Story House, MD South Park The Simpsons Conan Louie Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel American Idol What Not to Wear Happy Days Dead Like Me
I'm a huge fan of British TV, too--a lot of these are hard to get hold of here in the US, but it's so worth it:
Doctor Who Sherlock Downton Abbey The Inbetweeners Peep Show QI Would I Lie to You? Never Mind the Buzzcocks The Graham Norton Show The Mighty Boosh Spaced The IT Crowd Not Going Out

Recently, I've been watching 'Dragnet' with Harry Morgan and Jack Webb; never realized this show is very good.
