geeky* America's Next Top Model. Not only do I have no shame, I enjoy watching -- and mocking -- Tyra's slow descent into madness. I seriously think she's been eating lead paint for the last five years, or something. It's soothing reality madness. Kate and I get together once a week to mock it.
* Bones. Hot actors, snappy dialog, and dead stuff. Really, I am a simple creature, easily brought over to the cause of darkness by offers of dead stuff.
* Dexter. I loved the first two seasons, I loved the first two books. I hated the third book, so now I'm praying that the show's departure from the text continues in a big, big way. I want to stay in love with my show. I really, really do.
* Eureka. Mad science? I am so there.
* Fringe. I haven't actually seen the first episode yet -- that's happening tomorrow -- but I'm planning on watching at least the first month, just to figure out whether or not I want to make a commitment.
* Heroes. I'm still catching up on the end of season two, but I'm primed and ready for season three. No spoilers, please!
* NCIS. Nothing says 'love' like perky goth forensic technicians who can kill you and leave behind absolutely no evidence to indicate that they did it. I love this show. It has guns.
* Numb3rs. Math and hot mathematicians and more guns and it's basically just the happiest hour on television that doesn't feature dinosaurs.
* Primeval. The happiest hour on television that does feature dinosaurs.
* Supernatural. This show was actually designed especially for me. It's fantastic that they're somehow prying it out of my dreams and putting it on cable for everyone else to see, but really, they made this show just to make me happy. Which it does, reliably.
* True Blood. Only one episode so far, but man, am I digging what I'm getting. I hope it maintains or improves on this quality level; if it does, it's going to be just amazing.
Shows I love, and watch religiously, but which are neither currently on the air or starting a season in the next month: Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, The Middleman. Shows which I love, and watch religiously, but which are finishing their seasons: Monk, Psych. So yes, I watch a lot of television.
How about you?

For me, NCIS (love Abby and Ducky, think Jethro's an ass), Monk (great when the script is good, painful when it isn't), Numb3rs, and Psych fall into the "if I'm home, in the mood for TV, and it's on, I'll watch it" category. So does Law & Order, both original series and CI, but not SVU.
My favorite reality show, and the best show of this summer not named The Middleman, is So You Think You Can Dance. Fantastic dancers, amazing choreographers, and everyone, contestants and judges alike, looks like they're having fun.
We don't get any pay channels, so no True Blood for us yet. I did watch the first few episodes of Dexter when it was rerun on broadcast, and it was intriguing, but didn't completely hook me.
I've only seen a few Doctor Who episodes, and liked what I saw. At some point, I'll pick up some DVD sets and catch up.
I'd never even heard of Primeval, and had to look it up. I'll check it out when it hits the SciFi Channel.
I watched the pilot of Fringe last night. I may give it another episode or two, but so far it's only getting a 5 or 6 out of 10 from me. But then, I was never an X-Files fan, and gave up on Lost partway into season 2.
