30 Rock, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Homeland, Masterpiece Mystery (now showing new Sherlock), Masterpiece Theater (now showing Downton Abbey), plus of course movies (love Turner Classic Movies) and NY Giants Football games.

Thank goodness for my WD TV Live, so I can store TV shows, Music, and Movies on a small hard drive and watch them in HD at my leisure.

If you love Downton Abbey, I think you'll get a real kick out of "Uptown Downstairs Abbey"

It comes from the BBC Comic Relief Night, and is shown in two parts, totaling about 16 minutes, to fit in with the Masterpiece habit of cutting movies in two and showing them in parts. If you're familiar with some of the British top comic actors, you'll get a kick out of seeing many of them, including "Ab Fab"'s Jennifer Saunders. "Sex in the City"'s Kim Catrall also joins in the fun.

Some of the upcoming Masterpiece Theaters are also wonderful. In April they will show a 2 part "Great Expectations" with Gillian Anderson (Bleak House), David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) and Ray Winstone (Henry VIII). I think you'll love it. (I have seen all the new Masterpieces being shown in 2012, since they have all been on in England already). I download British TV shows to watch with regularity, so I have seen these. BTW.

Here's the Masterpiece schedule for 2012 in the US:
