2010 has been the year of the box-set as far as I've been concerned. I've watched all of true blood, gossip girl, vampire diaries, shameless, skins, misfits, nurse jackie, inbetweeners, glee, Rome, Fringe, 24, Lost, Being HUman, merlin
oh and no, I have no life
I'm not that keen on murder mystery or CSI stuff (even though Fringe and 24 are kind of in that category).
I don't like Friends, don't fancy watching Buffy. I'm reluctant about Dr Who.
I watched one of Greys Anatomy, one of Bones and one of Dexter and although I've only watched one, I didn't feel inspired by any of them.
Any suggestions?

I would also stick with Grey's Anatomy. Some of it's episodes that the season 6 finale are some of the best TV I've seen

Thank you, I did do a search, just wondered if anyone could suggest them specifically to ME based on tastes and things I've already watched
BSG (Battlestar Galactica) - If it's an issue for you, the fact that it's in space should not put you off. It's the sci-fi show for people who don't like sci-fi with every possible genre under the sun there somewhere.
Big Bang Theory - If you haven't seen already... in that case... where have you been
The creepier episodes are generally in the earlier seasons (in my opinion anyhow). There is a lot of comedy in them though, a lot of angst, but its well written and well produced. Well worth sticking with, just take a cushion to hide behind if it gets too bad!
I know you dont fancy watching Buffy - but most of the shows you suggest got thier ideas from Buffy (True Blood/Vampiore Diaries). It starts off a little meh, but seriously gets much better. Best series ever IMO and I have watched all the ones you have too.
Also Stick with Grey's it gets massive.
V (2009) - just watched the first season recently. Thought it was superb and highly recommend it.
Prison Break is good.
Alias, I've not seen 24 but i've been told it's similar.
I didn't really like gossip girl (seen season 1 & 2) but if u like that maybe try The OC or One tree Hill or go further back for Dawsons Creek, which also has Joshua Jackson in (Fringe).
I loved Alias! Great cast, lots of twisting storylines and some humour thrown in

Friday Night Lights first two seasons were really really good, the only drama I can think of better than this is Mad Men
Also DEFINITELY stick with Grey's - it gets superb and I would call it one of the best shows on the telly.
Others you might like (although to be honest you seem to have quite a wide range there
Criminal Minds
Pretty Little Liars
Roswell (now complete)
Alias (now complete)
I'm completely hooked! Its not out on box set yet but it's still playing on channel 4 every Friday! If you missed any of the earlier episodes they are probably all on 4OD
I've often likened my Season1+2 boxsets to blocks of gold, such is the quality of the acting and writing. Kinda miffed when Rob Lowe and Mr Sorkin left, but the additions of Kristin Chenoweth and Alfred Molina (wrong spelling I know but you know who I mean) were most welcome.
Why?
(Out of interest)
Red Skies
Nikita
Pretty Little Liars
The Mentalist
Haven
House
V (2010)
..and No Ordinary Family is at the bottom of my list but I always catch up at some point, same with In Treatment
Give Dexter another go, I wan't impressed by Dexter's narrating in the first couple of shows but was soon hooked.
