My favorite shows so far this year

So I am not a huge fan of most network TV shows and I am also not a huge fan of most cable shows. Color me amazed when I started watching a few older shows that I actually enjoyed and wanted to keep watching. I'm gonna give a short synopsis of the ones I am currently hooked on. If anyone has others feel free to leave me some comments.

Chuck - Equal parts Big Bang Theory and Burn Notice. A spy action comedy centered around a computer nerd who gains all the secrets of the US and in turn has to become a spy. Spy series are on the rise currently and I have gone through a couple but Chuck sticks out as being different. It has more laughs than your standard spy show. Most spy media has your dry womanizing spy and it's nice to see something different and I will be stuck on Chuck for awhile.

Burn Notice - Spy action drama based around an ex-CIA spy who gets "burned" or fired. I like this spy show as well. It isn't as funny as Chuck but it really makes you feel like you are following around a burned spy. From the do-it-yourself gadgets to the working jobs to get money for gadgets, the show makes you feel for the main character. Another show I will be stuck on for awhile.

River Monsters - No where near something I would normally watch but something about giant killer fish always gets me going. It's like watching fresh water Shark Week.

Futurama - I was so excited to see this show get picked back up. I have been a long time fan and I thought the show still had so much time left. The new episodes have all been great and I think they have a long life ahead of them.

I've also got Nurse Jackie to check out along with Mad Men, United States of Tara, White Collar, and a few others I have heard are good. As I said before if anyone has any recommendations just let me know in the comments. Check out these shows if you haven't though and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
