Fill-up my TiVo

I have searched the guides. I have watched the trailers. I have recorded pilots. Yet, I can not fill up my TiVo because I have only a handful of shows that I've become die-hard enough over to record and watch with any regularity.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recommend series to me that I can add to my recording list and hopefully fall in love with, so I have something to watch at 4:00 in the morning when everyone else is asleep.

To give you an idea of what I like, here's what I'm currently recording:

Weeds
Dexter
Ugly Betty
Miscellaneous documentaries from the History Channel
Bored to Death
Men of a Certain Age
Modern Family
US of Tara (if it comes back)

Any suggestions? I have about eighty billion channels, (husbands idea, not mine), so I should be able to find just about anything you can recommend.

Every single episode of Magnum, PI.

I was born in 1972. I have already been there and done that. I have also watched every episode of The Muppet Show...more than once.

Just a bump....cause I still need suggestions and I'm not ready to die yet, although the muppet suggested it.

Elle, I will be looking into all of these. Thank you very much for the suggestions.

Cheers...if you insist on being 'modern'. It has the finest theme tune apart from Magnum, PI that I can think of.

Lost
Heroes
Smallville
Scrubs (also good for professional development in your case)
Desperate Housewives

These have probably all finished in the US, but we don't get them till later.

Lost....lost me in season 2 and I shall never go back.
Heroes....went nowhere in a hurry, but I could probably tolerate it in small doses (i.e. on my iPod).
Smallville...I think I'm over the official age limit for that one, but it's cute how you still fantasize about Superman and all. (I'll keep it quiet about the underoos and red cape. Our little secret.)
Scrubs....seen them all. They're in syndication on about 4,000 different networks here.
Desperate Housewives....haven't watched it since Season 1, but maybe I could give it another shot....like Heroes....in small doses only.

I won't stop watching until he learns to fly, damn him.

Have you tried Flash Forward? I've never seen it but several nerds of my acquaintance seem to like it.

Haven't even heard of that one. Now, I must google.

I don't watch TV, but I have The Shield on dvd. It's great.

I actually own that on DVD (or at least my husband does so...same thing) but I've never watched it. I'll give it a shot.

I also recommend everything that ElleFire has. I am gonna throw in Top Gear and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Top Gear is all about cars, but funny as hell. Ramsey is well, Ramsey.

Are these reality shows? I like the new pawn shop one, but usually I can't get into these enough to follow them for long.

I just watched the pilot for Glee and am adding it to my TiVo list. I'm still not sure if I will love it, but it will be great to torment the husband with. I haven't been able to do that since Gilmore Girls ended.
