Breaking Bad (@Nanner)
Oh wow.  You don't even know.  Season 4 of Breaking Bad is the best ~13 hours of television I've ever seen in my life.

Justified
I just started watching this.  Only 2 episodes in at this point.  The pilot was great, but the second episode had quite a different feel to it, and I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was by the first one.  I'll definitely continue watching through at least the first season, but I really hope it begins to deliver on the promise of the first episode at some point.

Game of Thrones
I've also been rewatching Season 1 with a friend who hadn't seen it.  Hilarious watching her reactions.  It's also the first time I've rewatched it since reading the books (well, I'm only 1/4 of the way through A Dance with Dragons), and there's so much foreshadowing I missed the first time around that it's ridiculous.

Fringe
The fourth season has definitely gotten more interesting in the last 6-7 episodes - it's still not quite up to Season 3 standards, and I think we haven't seen nearly enough of Red Universe this season, but it definitely hasn't overstayed its welcome just yet. 

I do have to say, though, three of the episodes this season have been some of the best of the entire run - "One Night in October," "Welcome to Westfield," and "The End of All Things" were all just friggin' brilliant.  In fact, "One Night in October" has actually become my favorite of the entire series so far - yes, even surpassing "Peter" and "White Tulip."

TVLine has just upgraded its renewal chances from "could go either way" to "a safe bet" now that Terra Nova has been cancelled, which I'm happy about, but I think they need to plan Season 5 as the last season.  I couldn't deal with the show ending on a cliffhanger like the last 3 seasons have, with no resolution.  I was shocked it got renewed for a fourth season, and it'll be a miracle if it gets renewed for a fifth, but I think it's incredibly stupid to think there's even the possibility of it getting a sixth at all.

Parks and Recreation (plus Archer and Community, in passing)
This season of Parks and Rec has been the second most consistently funny show of the year after Archer (which got kinda dark last week).  While I'm ecstatic that we're getting Community back next week (which I maintain is the best show on NBC - it'll probably beat Parks and Archer for funniest-of-the-year title when it comes back), I wish they'd have put The Office on hiatus to make room for it instead of Parks.

Also, not enough Paul Rudd since he was introduced as Leslie's City Council adversary.

Shameless (US)
I don't know about you guys, but I've been enjoying this season a lot more than some of my friends have been.  I just wish Steve would leave and stay gone.  Can't fucking stand him.  I am very glad that Lip is getting more focus this season, he's my favorite.  Frank's kind of fallen into the background, though...and the ending of this week's episode pissed me off, just because I really didn't want Monica to come back, either.

Unsupervised
This show has grown on me a lot more than I expected it to.  Russ is hilarious.

Dexter
This season sucked so bad that I was ready to give up on the show until the last 30 seconds of the season.

Yeah, I think that's about it.  I've been gone so long I could fill pages with what I've been watching since I vanished, but I'll limit it to what I've got here now.

Oh wait, one more:

Sherlock Series 2
Was nothing short of absolutely fucking brilliantly amazing.  Especially the finale, which surprised me since its writer was responsible for the weakest Series 1 episode.  God, Moriarty, man...I was very iffy on his portrayal in the Series 1 finale, but holy shit did Andrew Scott change my mind.
