Breaking Bad and Spartacus.

I'm also at a bit of a loss regarding what to watch now frown

I've watched all on your list (inc W. Wing) and am currently about to start series 4 of 4400. I'd definitely say it's worth watching, though it's no W. Wing/Sopranos.

A slight departure, but I'd give Six Feet Under a go. It's pretty bleak at times, but it's worth it.

Something interesting if anyone is looking for something quick is Happy Town. It was canceled as soon at it started, so there are only 8 episodes. They knew it was canned though, so at least had a chance to put a half hearted attempt at closing it off, rather than just ending like Drive. I'm gutted it didn't get a proper run. Sam Neil is awesome.

Also:

Californication
Caprica
Doll House (shaky start, but gets better)
Generation Kill
Studio 60 on the Sunset Stip (essential viewing for a West Wing fan)

We've seen most of those, recently started watching:

Rookie Blue - Follows 5 newly graduated police trainees, can be funny, not great
The Good Guys - Comedy cop show set in Dallas, straight laced cop and a starsky & hutch reject work on minor crimes which usually evolve into much bigger ones
Hung - Second season recently started, high school sports coach tries to become a gigolo to make extra money

True Blood season 3 has started, but so far it is crap. Haven't even watched the last few episodes yet as I can't bring myself to press play.

4400 was very good on the 1st series until you find out what its all about and then it ruined it for me.

A Town Called Eureka - Scifi and humorous in places.

The Lost Room - A short three episode series that will have you screaming for more.

I love Dexter, Heroes and FlashForward.

Also really enjoyed The 4400 - definitely worth a watch, it never drags. But rather annoyingly it did get cancelled before they had a chance to wrap it up!
