Which current show doesn't get enough recognition here?

Although I know I am in the extreme minority here, but I am thoroughly enjoying The Class and Shark, and neither get much posted about here except an occasional slander (more hate for Class then Shark, of course).

I am surprised a show like "How I met Your Mother" gets alot of talk here. As far as I know, its the only laugh track sitcom that gets any kind of discussion here. Granted, when you have Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan on the same show, I can kind of see why.

The Wire. It's weekly thread should be about 18 pages long.
Besides that I would say Everyone Hates Chris or Criminal Mind.

You know, I've tried watching Two and a Half Men on a few occasions, most recently on a plane trip from Cali to Florida.
In all honesty, I do not see how it's so popular, it just didn't strike me as particularly entertaining. Different boats for different folks I suppose.
I can't really think of any discussion worthy shows that aren't covered on here, but then, I don't get cable.

The Stargates. Seems there's about two threads per season with posts in the single digits. I know the show(s) have been around awhile and run pretty much true to form but there's some pretty interesting stuff going on.

I consider Boston Legal to be one of the most entertaining shows on television, but I rarely see threads for it here. For me it has more laugh out loud moments than most of the sitcoms out there.
It has some wonderfully bizarre storylines including Shatner trying to bone a dwarf; sexual surrogacy; Shatner & Spader wrestling one another in a ring for the affection of Candice Bergen; and a starving homeless man charged with cannibalism after he took a bite out of the thigh of his friend he was cremating. On top of it all, a lot of the court cases reflect real moral and ethical issues which I always find interesting.
They often break the fourth wall in such a casual way that I often rewind to make sure I heard what I think I heard. A recent example is when two actors joined the cast and Shatner was skeptical of them because as he states, "New people usually show up in the season premiere."
Finally, the performances. The tone of the show is tricky, but everyone pulls it off. Spader continues to amaze with his zany flourishes, but a real underlying pathos. Its also the best thing Shatner has ever done.
I didn't want to start a BL thread, so I thought I'd show my appreciation here. Thanks.
