It's not trolling, it's just satire.

Faust

#17
The Prisoner
Carnivale
Twin peaks
Aeon Flux (The pervy pseudo philosophical animated series not the bad film).
The wire
Battle star galactica
Six feet under
Oz
Steven Moffats NEW run on doctor who and random serials over the course of the last 50 years that can be found by googling "best Doctor who series"

These shows are probably the best things I've seen.

Adult swim shows:
The venture brothers
Harvey Birdman
The boondocks

These are animated in a style you might find uncomfortable because you would associate them with kids shows but every one is fantasic.

The only other show I've been following regularly besides Lost  :argh!:

is Criminal Minds.   It's about these FBI profilers who get called in to hunt down serial killers.  It can be pretty dark especially when the cases involve children.

Carnivale - Lots of great thought provoking insinuation involving Masons, Christian gnosticism, and related spaggotry
Deadwood - Very compelling portrayal of the wild west, I had to watch it with subtitles because the seemingly historically accurate language threw me
Rome - Very compelling portrayal of ancient Rome with such high production values that it got cancelled for being too expensive
Twin Peaks - made by the inimitable David Lynch
Arrested Development - A rich family with great characters and consistently clever jokes
Mr. Show - Sketch comedy by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk from the 90's, still relevant.

HBO's series "ROME" is an excellent piece of historical fiction

I'm a huge fan of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA.

this will sell it: http://www.hulu.com/watch/39106/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-who-pooped-the-bed


The Whitest Kids U Know is an excellent sketch comedy show

I've been keeping myself busy with Mr. Show with Bob and David (mentioned upthread) and Wonder Showzen, which is like if you had a kids show written by people with no soul.

The IT Crowd (just fucking funny)
"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

THIS. 

Has a high "WTF is going on here?" quotient.  Sadly, no longer available here.

Oh and before I forget one of my all time favourite shows is Lexx.
Its a smutty and humorous sci-fi that escapes the clichés of the sci-fi genre. Very stylish and fun.

I watch them from Torrents on the net, cause my schedule doesn't revolve around television but I like the following:

Dr. Who (First Four seasons 100% Awesome, current season... still undecided, but somewhere south of 100% awesome)
Supernatural (Good, not great... the Hardy Boys meets Buffy kinda?)
Leverage (Kicks Ass)
Bones (CSI + Black Comedy)
Reaper (pretty funny, lost their third season, so the story doesn't get a decent conclusion)

Also, if you like anime:
Full Metal Alchemist/Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Mushi-shi

They have this on Hulu. The ending is taking FORFUCKINGEVER to get through, but it's worth it. :D

I can't believe that I forgot about those.

I liked Dead Like Me but I felt that they could have done so much more with it. Good actors, good premise, poor writing.

And The IT Crowd is fucking hilarious. I watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.
