Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead... Both I watch the night they're on otherwise it's just too darn hard to avoid spoilers the next morning.

Fargo
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Big Bang Theory
Parks and Recreation

... and I see myself blowing thru Season 2 of Orange is the New Black right after it hits Netflix.

Re: What are your "must see" shows? (2014 Edition)

After removing ones that ended within the last few weeks I current watch these with the most important in red with green as the second tier. Sometimes it's likely giving one show a 100 and another a 90. I enjoy each one overall otherwise I would not watch them. Some of these can wrap up and end their story sooner than later like Under The Dome, that really should have been one maxi series and done. Even Revolution needs to do something else for the next season.

CW - Arrow
CW - Supernatural
NBC - Grimm
AMC - Walking Dead

CW - Beauty And The Beast
ABC - Agents Of Shield
CW - Originals
CW - Tomorrow People
NBC - Revolution
ABC - Once Upon A Time
CW - Vampire Diaries
CBS - Elementary
FOX - Sleepy Hallow
SYFY - Haven
LIFE - Witches Of East End
BBC - Doctor Who
TNT - Falling Skies
MTV - Teen Wolf
SYFY - Warehouse 13
SYFY - Defiance
CBS - Under The Dome
SYFY - Continuum
BBC - Sherlock
SYFY - Bitten

NIC - Legend Of Korra

Better Call Saul- still have mixed feelings on it but I'll watch it.
Halt and Catch Fire- looks like it has potential to be interesting, hopefully AMC doesn't screw it up.
Louie- just started watching the series on Amazon Prime and fell in love with it.
Orange is the New Black- haven't started this series yet but might give it a try.

Seasons already in progress:
Bates Motel
Fargo
Mad Men

Re: What are your "must see" shows? (2014 Edition)

I'm not sure how shows that haven't even made their debut yet can qualify as "must watch that you get the most enjoyment out of", but maybe that's just me.

Nearly guaranted same day watches other than sporting events...

Sunday - Amazing Race (largely to avoid spoilers)
HBO's tent pole show (for the most part)
AMC - Walking Dead/Talking Dead and Mad Men - though I have been known to push Mad Men to Mondays when it's airing at the same time as Game of Thrones to avoid "quality television overload"

Monday
N/A

Tuesday
Brooklyn Nine-Nine made it's way to same day status rather quickly

Wednesday
Survivor (largely to avoid spoilers)

Thursday - Saturday
N/A

Lots of other shows that I like and watch, but I fall behind. Given how fantastic the show is, it's hard to fathom that I'm three weeks behind on Hannibal, but I travel a lot for my job, and Hannibal isn't exactly a show I can sit down and watch while I'm enjoying breakfast.

Castle is the only show I watch live.

The others I have bought the season on Vudu and watch them a few days after they air when they are available.
