IMO South Park is too topical, which means a lot of it gets dated really fast. I was never a big fan to begin with though. Metalocalypse is pretty great, I agree.

BSG 2.) Futurama 3.) The West Wing 4.) 30 Rock 5.) Dead Like Me - as a bildungsroman variant it's fantastic. 6.) Queer As Folk 7.) Friday Night Lights - from what little I've seen, fantastic. 8.) Damages - just started but so far, so good Honorable Mention to SATC for cultural contributions. Honorable Mention for potential to Glee. Honorable Mention for raising the bar, Project Runway/Top Chef. They both could've been cheap explorations of the banal but I think married entertaining eccentricity with respect for the artistry and professionalism of the fashion and culinary industries. Just missed: First Season Brothers & Sisters In no particular order but numbered for clarity:
