Currently enjoying:
Chuck
Fringe
Doctor Who
La Femme Nikita(The new one on the CW network)
Burn Notice(though I don't watch it religiously I try to catch an episode whenever I can)
Supernatural
The Walking Dead(waiting for its next season)
Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown(It's the best time to watch as they build up to Wrestlemania, which is my Superbowl and World Cup as I don't like REAL sports)
Young Justice

There are other shows I watch, but only randomly(like Futurama)

Don't Like
Reality tv in general
Cop/detective procedurals
"Dumb" comedy shows with predictable humor and laugh tracks
Really stupid competition shows
Soap opera wannabees like Las Vegas or the new 90210

All time faves:
Buffy
Angel
Supernatural
Chuck
Firefly
Pushing Daisies
X Files(At least for the first couple seasons)
Star Trek: TNG
Hercules/Xena(They suck by today's standards but were fun back then)
Highlander
Batman:The Animated Series
Justice League Unlimited
Disney's Gargoyles
Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica
Married With Children
That 70s Show

Recent shows I wish had stayed on the air:
Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Dollhouse(also wish Fox had let Joss do what he wanted since the very first episode)

Yeah I've been watching Conan regularly. He's been doing great!

Right on! I've been watching Conan since '93. He sucked back then, but I had faith in him.

I don't watch a lot of current shows. The only one's I catch on a regular basis are:

Law and Order: SVU
The Cape
Harry's Law
Tosh.O
...yeah...that's about it.

Everything else I love to watch is pretty much long over. Thank goodness for season sets or I wouldn't have anything to watch. Unfortunately most of the shows I really enjoyed ended up ending prematurely. :(

Babylon 5
Buffy
Gargoyles (Used to watch it for an hour every night at 11 when the Disney channel still aired it. Good times)
Farscape
Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Dexter (Watched the 1st season when they aired it on CBS. I've been waiting on the box sets ever since.)
Doll House
Sarah Conner Chronicles
Daria
Dark Angel
Tales from the Crypt
Boston Public
Xena

Hate:
Reality TV.....all of it. Seriously. This stuff needs to end.

Currently airing/Returning soon shows I watch:
Dexter
Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead
Mad Men
Chuck
Conan
Man vs Wild
Supernatural
Smallville
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Dragon Ball Z Kai

I hate medical and crime/cop shows and most reality shows. I can handle Survivor and American Idol sometimes. But that's it. I'm also not a fan of most current sitcoms (I love 80s and 90s sitcoms!), the only one I can enjoy is the Big Bang Theory but I still don't watch it.

It airs on Showcase. If you don't have it, you could always just download the episode after it airs.

Just been getting into V. Was quite lame at first, but this second season is alright. Also caught the pilot of The Cape and it was good. Like this thread, gives some interesting shows to look into myself.

I watch X-Files, and Psych...oh, right, that's pretty much it nowadays. I've just been rewatching X-Files episodes on Netflix while I wait for the next season of Psych to start up.

As for other series I'd watch again, a few years back I watched all of both Firefly and Farscape. I miss them both. I've been considering trying to track down Space: Above and Beyond, as I remember enjoying it. There's also a lot of shows I like to throw out to catch people off guard, like Manimal or M.A.N.T.I.S., but those are more of a joke than anything else.

As for what shows I currently like...I don't actually watch TV. I watch lots of movies and play games. If a show that's on is interesting, I generally wait to see the DVDs. Perhaps I should look up Castle. I don't know. And since the state of the news was mentioned earlier, I tend just to read about it online.

As for what I can't stand, reality TV shows take the cake. Here's a recent Cracked article I think you guys would like on the subject:
