Game of Thrones is excellent, perhaps one of the best shows ever. In Plain Sight is very good as is Grey's Anatomy when they aren't doing stories about moms and babies. I've watched NCIS for years. It's a guilty pleasure - Mark Harmon and David McCallum are both favorites and I adore Pauley Perrette as Abby. Big Bang Theory is especially funny for me because my son is a physicist - although thankfully he is more like Leonard than Sheldon.
Other excellent scripted shows I like that aren't on your list: Criminal Minds, The Killing (dark and gloomy but very well done), Nurse Jackie, Weeds. Other guilty pleasures because I love cop shows: Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-O and Unforgettable. Best new show that just keeps getting better is Scandal. Last night's ending was so shocking I dropped the remote. I also re-watch The Sopranos, The Wire, Babylon-5 and Buffy - simply because in my opinion they are the best shows ever. I've never watched a single reality show. I occasionally watch the talent shows if someone I know is competing.
