Not necessarily new ones, since I don't have cable and frankly don't watch much (this is not to say the TV isn't on--it's just not on anything current). And in no particular order as usual:
1. The science show with Alan Alda on PBS. I know, dork for not remembering the title. Alan Alda teaches me all sorts of things.
2. Law & Order: seasons 1-5. The Chris Noth years, basically.
3. Unsolved Mysteries: This was (is?) on Lifetime, and Mike would make fun of me when I watched it, which is when I snapped at him, saying, "that's why it's television for women and not television for critical husbands."
4. City Confidential: I watched this mostly for the narrator's voice and cadence, but I dig some true crime (sanitized for A&E, of course)
5. Mythbusters: I guess at heart I've always been a 9 year old boy...
6. Life On Mars (the British version): Oh my I loved this show. Watched it with Mike this winter sitting in bed trying to get Leo to go to sleep. I could gush about this show. The follow up series, though, Ashes to Ashes? Not so great actually.
7. The Price is Right: the Bob Barker years. Once again, I could always do better than the contestants.
8. Are You Being Served: Found this one just recently thanks to, of course, Mrs. Slocombe's namesake. I can't believe I missed this one when PBS showed it as repeats. I'm devouring it on DVD these days. I love Netflix.
9. How Clean is Your House?: Or whatever it's called. The British fussy lady show where they clean out disgusting houses and teach the inhabitants how to do it right (and then come back two weeks to see if the advice worked...). Rubber gloves with feather trim. Love it.
10. News Radio (the first three seasons): with Dave Foley and Phil Hartman. This was the first TV show I actually owned on DVD I like it so much. I'm currently watching it at night on the little DVD player when I'm nursing the baby.

I've never made one before.
It's Mardi Gras, at least for a little while longer, and I lived in
Houston, which is close enough to East Texas and Louisiana ...

Oh, my nephews would love you. They are always going on about Mythbusters.
The only one of these I've seen is The Price is Right, and that's only when I was really sick or able to feign it well enough that I could stay home from school.
I like the snap at Mike about TV for women not critical husbands. I have the same tendency to snap at Tim when he criticizes my bad reality TV addiction. However, I can't justify it with such a clever remark as you did... I will have to ponder on one.
My all-time favourite series (like yours, a blast from the past) is NYPD Blue. Here's the sad thing: they released the first four seasons on DVD but then, due to disappointing sales, they stopped.
Even worse, Season Four ended with a cliff-hanger. Do I remember how it was resolved in Season Five? No.
Bobby Simone will be hanging from that cliff indefinitely.
