reccommend some of your favorites shows

Doctor Who
The Flash
The Walking Dead
Agents of SHIELD.

The Killing (US version). It's complex, emotional and compelling. Really good performance all around.

*resists urge to go on a rant about remakes*

As far as I know not canceled shows:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Comedy, cop show, lot of great characters, awesome storylines.
The Musketeers (BBC) - Pretty much what it says on the tin
Shameless (US) - The original is quite good too, but I think it is the only show I prefer the remake over the original for: Not so feel-good-comedy about a family struggling to get by, but it isn't depressing, the father is an alcoholic, the mother ran away so the eldest sister takes care of her younger siblings. Which is an awful explanation. Look it up, it is my all time favourite show (then again it is pretty much an Americanized, prettified version of how I grew up)
Ripper Street - Cop show set in the times of Jack the Ripper, but not so much about The Ripper, as about the police station that handled that case. Two "detectives" and their american doctor solves crime and sometimes personal issues.
Lewis - British crime, good quality, great characters
Death in Paradise - Stereotypical English detective gets put on a fictional half French, half British tropical island, because the previous detective died, he hates sun. the tropics and the French. Ends up having to stay, gets adopted by a lizard and 3 local cops and solves crime.

And to the cancelled shows:
Breakout Kings: Sadly only one season, but a group of prisoners gets recruited to find prisoners who escape in exchange of shortening their sentences.
Casanova (BBC - version), with David Tennant, anyway what it says on the tin
Combat Hospital: I tend to describe it as modern MASH with a female lead, but it is less of a comedy more of a drama.
Endgame: Chess genius stuck in a hotel solves crime
Hotel Babylon - Follows the employees of the fictional hotel, it is part comedy, part drama and full awesome (at least the first seasons)
Hustle - a group of people hustle rich people out of their money, but as their slogan says: You can't steal from an honest man
Leverage - The American version of Hustle, except not (they are criminals gone "good" their slogan is: We take over where the law stops" so they steal from bad corporation giving it back to those the big corp have stolen from). Both are worth a watch for different reasons. I prefer the characters in Leverage, but the schemes in Hustle, tho both are good in both shows.
The Forgotten - One season: a group of people try to find the identity of dead victims before they get buried without a name.
The Unusuals - A more comedic version of Brooklyn Nine - Nine
Three Rivers - One season: You follow the lives of 3 doctors working in a transplant hospital and their patients.

Panel shows:
Qi - stands for Quite Interesting, Stephen Fry and Alan Davies + 3 guests, where comedy meets learning, and you will learn a lot of random facts and have fun while doing it.
8 out of 10 cats - Last weeks most talked about news (in the UK) with comedy
Would I lie to you - two teams, 3 people on each, one at the time read out a card they have never seen before with a fact about their lives, which is either true or a lie and they have to convince the other team it is true.
Never mind the Buzzcocks - Music, celebrities and competition, what could go wrong with that combo?

And that was all the shows I could find in my folders and DVD shelf that aren't the ones that get recommended all the time. Also that was a lot of crime shows, I don't know what that says about me?

~~also 10 points if you can guess what I am studying...~~

Currently watching:

Legend of Korra
Constantine
Agents of SHIELD

Rocky & Bullwinkle is the greatest cartoon ever made. Everyone must go watch it right now.

In no particular order:

X-Files up through season 7
Star Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager up through season 4 or 5
Sherlock (I know that's sort of a point of contention around here but I really like it)
Twin Peaks
Gravity Falls
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Whose Line is it Anyway? (any version)

If anime counts:

Vision of Escaflowne
Ouran High School Host Club
Cowboy Bebop
Darker Than Black (first season only)
Michiko to Hatchin

And I really like cooking shows so:

Chopped
Sweet Genius
Iron Chef (the old Japanese one)

I don't watch much TV so:

Orphan Black

American Horror Story: Freakshow

SCRUBS. Most perfect show to ever exist.

The Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons.
Batman the Animated Series.
Teen Titans.
Brooklyn Nine Nine.
In The Flesh.
Qi.
Leverage.
Star Trek: TNG.
Stargate SG1.
Stargate Atlantis.
Supernatural(seasons 1-5).
Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Scrubs.
Mock the Week.
Would I lie to You.
Russel Howard's Good News.
Never mind the Buzzcocks.

I think that's it.

A show that's cancelled but good and on Netflix is The Finder. It stars Geoff Stults as a guy with a pathological compulsion to find things and who is goofy and quirky, and Michael Clarke Duncan is his Zen lawyer buddy, and together they solve mysteries in Miami. And it's just really fun and laid-back and goofy. Also there's a female US Marshal who kind of owns. It's just a fun, quirky show, although it gets more serious as the season goes on.

Word of warning, though: it was aired, and is on Netflix, massively out of its proper order, and that does effect the viewing experience IMO - it works much better in sequence, even though there's no spoilers as such. Look on Wikipedia and watch it in production order (or in this order right here, if you don't want to go to Wikipedia: episodes 1, 9, 3, 4, 2, 10, 5, 8, 6, 7, 12, 11, and 13 on Netflix)

also it's a Bones spinoff but that doesn't matter much

Motorcity! Also 3rd and 4th seasons of Legend of Korra. I love my cartoons.

Editing to add Gravity Falls and Michiko and Hatchin.

-Parks and Recreation. It´s so good, it deserves more credit and more love.

-Orphan Black. Can´t wait for the next season!

-Glee. The show I love to hate.

Black Mirror - absolutely fantastic show but not for the easily squicked
Uncle - about a dysfunctional uncle (played by comedian Nick Helm) taking care of his nephew
Moone Boy - quite a sweet little sitcom, about a young boy growing up in Ireland in the late 1980s, with Chris O'Dowd playing his imaginary friend
Utopia - I have a hard time following the plot sometimes but will admit that the cinematography is bloody brilliant

some old Charlie Brooker stuff, just because:
Dead Set - miniseries; revolves around the contestants/staff of Big Brother during a zombie outbreak
Screenwipe/Newswipe/Gameswipe - in which Charlie reviews TV shows/news/videogames respectively. Hilarious and occasionally educational
You Have Been Watching - a panel show he hosted, about television. Still one of my favourites (esp the episodes with David Mitchell)

uhhh and last but not least Over The Garden Wall, just because one of the secrets reminded me
