For shows I watched in their entirety, in no particular order:
The Shield
The Wire
Rome
24
Firefly
Honorable Mention: Sleeper Cell, Deadwood, Angel, Human Target, Lost
For current shows: (due to evolving feelings as the show changes)
1. Sons of Anarchy
2. Justified
3. Walking Dead
4. Breaking Bad
5. Fringe
Honorable Mention: House MD (fading fast), Homeland (rising fast), Dexter, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, Person of Interest
I could not get past the first two episodes of Stargate, or watch more than the miniseries that kicked off the new BSG (is that what you mean by RDM? ). The former was so crappy with it's production values that it was a distraction, while the latter was so pretentious and into itself, particularly in the 9-11 navel-gazing attitude that way too many people had back when that started, that I couldn't be bothered. But the Wire was really good.
