In regards to "Sex and the City". Someone I believbe postd that it will be out in November, but are there any rumours or plans to do a COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON?
I have thought about "The Shield", but things like Child pornigraphy and spousal abuse(i.e. real issue) just make me depressed.
I have thought about CSI, is that much more cerebral than The Shield?

i'd highly recommend CSI also - it's a very intelligent show.

Thanks for all of your suggestions, I've limited them down to a few, so maybe that will help. I'll make my decision really soon.
1) The Sopranos-I loved "Sex and the City"(especiially the georgeus Kristen Davis and Kim Cattrall) so I'm thinking another HBO show might be in the works.
2)CSI- I have heard that while the Shield is suppose to be an overall better show, I don't think this show is as graphic, but also encopases great storylines
3)Alias- I might pick up this one up, since I love jennifer garner(who the heck doesn't), and I love spy-type drams.
4) 24- I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this show, and I love gropping drams that keep you on the edge of your seat.
5)The X-Files- I have never seen the show. I am a HUGE Star Trek fan(TOS, TNG) and I have been told that up until the last couple of seasons it was flat out incredible!!!! However, I heard that Seasons 7-9 suck big time, is this true(please no spoliers)

i wouldn't say that seasons 7 - 9 of the X-files suck though i may be biased because i am a huge fan & the x-files season 1 boxset was my very first dvd purchase - even before i had a dvd player 
many people have problems with the last 3 seasons because David Duchovny ceased to be a major part of the show but Robert Patrick & Annabeth Gish did bring something of their own to the show.
it's just that the show was so good, many people couldn't accept Patrick & Gish as 'replacements'...
but personally i feel that if someone bothers to follow the show for 6 years in a row, then it's proper to seek closure by going the extra 3 miles & finish off with the 9th season.

If you haven't seen The Sopranos, you should definitely put that at the top of your list. CSI, 24, and The Shield are good choices as well. If you're looking for comedy, I'd suggest The Honeymooners or Reno 911.

To better help you I suggest you turn this into a poll to see what comes out on top and perhaps pick the top 2 as your next projects. I'd be curious in seeing the results.

Elimination time
Not saying that I won't come back to these titles later(which i probably will do) but as of right now, I have now eliminated 2 Titles from the sets.
1) Alias
2) The X-Files-This probably would have been my next purchase if this series ended when it was suppose to which was after season 6(from what I'm told). Plus with 9 seasons, that's a lot of mulla, and when I get hooked on a series(like I did with "Sex and the City" I immediately have to run out and get the next one).
The Finalists are:
1) The Sopranos
2) CSI
3) 24
1) Alias
2) The X-Files-This probably would have been my next purchase if this series ended when it was suppose to which was after season 6(from what I'm told).

Freaks And Geeks/Sportsnight/Firefly: I was actually sad at the end of all three of these, knowing I'd never find out anymore about these great characters. Especially Freaks and Geeks. And Sportsnight.
West Wing: Oddly enough, I found 24 to be rather jarring to watch all at once, which you'd think would not be the case. On the other hand both seaons of the West Wing have been addictive, forcing me from episode to episode as fast as I can
Band Of Brothers: Like a punch to the gut
The Shield: Like a punch to the kidneys
Twin Peaks: It's dirt cheap, with a great transfer. For under twenty bucks it's worth the price of admission for sex goddess Sherylin Fenn's pleated skirts alone.

Hopefully we will be getting season 2 of Twin Peaks soon.
