Community
One of the best comedies to come out of America since Arrested Development, it's clever and witty which is why most Americans didn't quite understand it led to its cancellation last year.
New Girl
The number 1 comedy on TV right now, except you may not have seen it yet. The shows titular character played by Zoey Deschanel plays second fiddle to the hilarious support cast including Schmidty...
Arrested Development
Before its re - release and the introduction of a new series on Netflix earlier this year, AD was a cult classic that just didn't quite make it on TV in America, noticing a trend with less then intelligent US viewers?
NewsRoom
New from director and writer Aaron Sorkin, this was one of the best series of 2012. Starring Jeff Daniels of Dumb and Dumber fame and a whole host of impressive actors including one to watch Olivia Munn (google her)
Sportsnight
Another Sorkin creation, this show only ran for two seasons but won multiple Emmy Awards. Quite similar to Newsroom but for fans of sport it's a great watch.
The West Wing
The third Sorkin show on this list proves how good he is. Starring Charlie Sheen's dad as the President and focus' on his daily struggles as he tries to cope with the pressures of the job.
Friday Night Lights
Some are put off by the fact that it's about American Football but Friday Night Lights is one of the best TV shows of the past decade, if not ever. Just watch this Emmy highlight reel and you'll know why...
The Shield
Cult series based on some corrupt policemen doing some bad things stopping at nothing to catch the bad guys, won multiple Golden Globes and Emmys but still hasn't received the credit over here that it deserves.
Dexter
A stand out show in its 8th and final season. The premise is intriguing, a forensic analyst for the Miami police department by day, serial killer by night.
Teachers
Starring the guy from The Walking Dead as a dead beat teacher hanging around with his mates, drinking and attempting to pass on knowledge, also stars a very young James Corden.
Freeks And Geeks
Cancelled before it even had a chance and only 12 episodes into its first season. Starred James Franco, Jason Segel, Seth Rogan, a whole host of other stars and produced by Judd Apatow, it's where the whole 2000's comedy scene and it's actors made their names.
