yea Dexter is great, one of my all time favorite shows.

Monk is a great show. He is a modern day Poirot, just more compulsive and very funny.

1. Battlestar Galactica (SciFi)--best show on cable and probably the best show on all of television.
2. Entourage (HBO)--it has fallen a bit this past year, but it is still always entertaining.
3. The Wire (HBO)--brutal and painful to watch and always compelling.
4. Weeds (ShowTime)--last season was very dark but how can you pass up a suburban mom selling weed and going up against a variety of parental issues as well as drug gangs.
5. Flight of the Conchords (HBO)--definately not for everyone as it is truly bizarre and funny and the songs are so brutal lyrically but always memorable.
6. The Closer (TNT)--Kyra Sedwick is fabulous.
7. Psych (USA)--light hearted but often laugh out loud funny.

I did not include 'Extras' simply because it is limited run.

Shows that I have never seen but will probably pick up someday on dvd--Dexter (Showtime), Its always Sunny in Philadelphia (TBS), Burn Notice (TNT), The Shield (FX).

I don't see how Flight of the Conchords isn't first on this list. You must be an Australian or something.

Now that Big Love has instituted a no Bill Paxton's ass policy I'd have to include that one in my top 5.

Because the shows ahead of it are better. With that said, I love Flight of the Conchords, very funny stuff.

This next season is going to be good. What will happen with Weber Gaming? Does Roman's gay son take over the family? Will Bill take up with the Eastern Euro girl?
