If you like scifi
Stargate,
Farscape (Claudia Black, and Ben Browder before stargate)
Serenity-- Nathan Fillion pre Castle.

BBC America and most of the stream content outfits like Netflix have the previous seasons of Doctor who. My favorite is the 10th and 11th Doctor

Drama
I loved this one last month if you can find it online or BBC America reruns it don't miss.
Broadchurch which stars David Tennant (the 10th doctor who) is a BBC 8 episode who done it that recently aired on BBC America, it was really good, you never could guess who did it until the end (which I usually can with most crime shows).
Fox is doing a remake set for 2014 also with Tennant (Which may have a different name) sounds like they will do an ongoing series if it goes well, first bit will have the same writer as the BBC version. BBC is planning a new crime with the same detective but may recast if they can't get Tennant.

Does anyone remember the name of the BBC mystery series that the main character was a quirky antique dealer with an old friend called tinker. I watched one weak I was sick off work a few years back and don't remember the name.
