Kemper didn't include what I consider to be two of the best shows on tv: 
Doctor Who and Supernatural.

DW is the new version of the bbc classic and there's just under 40 
episodes available on dvd from the last three seasons. The current 
Doctor is David Tennant who was Barty Jr in GoF, and he's phenomenal. 
The show is required viewing for any anglophile, imho.

Supernatural is the most underrated show on tv. It airs on the CW, who 
generally ignore it and never promote it, on Thursdays after smallville 
and the first two seasons are on dvd; the third is on itunes and the cw 
website - four more eps will air in February. It's the story of two 
young men who grew up in an Impala crossing the US, as their father 
hunted all things supernatural and evil - ghosts, demons, vampires, etc. 
The show stars Jared Padalecki from Gilmore Girls and Jensen Ackles from 
Dark Angel and it's *terrific*.
