Which one?
Random side note I've had every star trek captain on my plane except Kirk. I've also had data, warf, the tattoo faced number two guy and counsellor Troy.
Any good TV out there for those with IQ over 80?

I'm about to start watching old school ER again.
Also, I write in my free time. I decided to try my hand at screenwriting to branch out recently. Usually do novels (none of them published, no worries
).
I tend to come up with better ideas in my head than exist on TV. At least they appeal more to me. Shrug. Try writing if you can't find anything that appeals to ya. It's relaxing if nothing else, and it'll tide you over until something else comes along.
Speaking of, anyone heard of that new show about docs and medics in Afghanistan? In The Sand or something like that?

I'm a total TV junkie, and a lot of my favorite show have been mentioned on here.
Honestly, as mentioned Breaking Bad is terrific, in fact it may be one of the best shows in the last ten years. I suggest you at least give it a few more episodes to feel it out a bit.
As for Stargate, I thought you said you liked good Sci Fi shows? Oh well, to each his own I guess. Speaking of Sci-Fi I've been watching The X-Files on Netflix, its interesting to watch it from the start and see the whole story arc develop. Although, I must say the first season has some pretty poor production values, but it does really pick back up during the second season.
What else can I add? If you're into House, you'll really like the British Sherlock series, the shows namesake is a lot like a crimefighting version of House. Game of Thrones is amazing, but it sounds like you're already onto that one. As others have stated Big Bang Theory isn't bad, but the :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty canned laugh track on the show is so annoying that it becomes unwatchable, as far as I'm concerned. I almost gave up on the Walking Dead in season 2, but the last 2-3 episodes were pretty good, and it seems like the next season might be pretty awesome, at the very least they are off the god damn farm.
Oh yeah, this is a little out of the TV realm, but I'm really anxious to see the movie Prometheus by director Ridley Scott. Its rumoured to be the prequel to the Aliens series, although the director and studio are keeping the actual plot points a pretty carefully guarded secret. I don't know what I'm gonna do if this one sucks.

I have tried and tried to get into Stargate at least 5 times. I love the idea of the series, I just can't get over how cheesy a lot of it is and the poor weapons manipulation.
A recent guilty pleasure of mine which may well belong in the "tv for people with an IQ LESS than 80" category is Trailer Park Boys, it took me a couple episodes to really get into it, but that show cracks me up.

As far as the IQ < 80, there's always Swamp People...
I've been trying to remember this one for a while. Torchwood is another show from across the pond that's brilliant.

I want to say its called combat hospital... It's from ABC. I haven't seen it but a cop friend of mine liked it.

Archer on FX is awesome.
I also enjoy watching 2 Broke Girls on CBS. Aside from the fact that I'm totally in love with Kat Dennings, I think it's a well written show.
Big Bang Theory is a great show, esp for comic book and geek humor.
Stargate SG1 has some great seasons, but it also had some pretty bad ones. I didn't like any of the spinoffs, but the early seasons were pretty good. Classic Macguyver episodes were a great alternative, and back to the Sci-Fi, who can forget classic twilight zone?
Still love the Simpsons and Futurama, as well as Family guy (everyone should turn off their brain once in a while). Rugrats is enjoyable, and you don't need to shut off your brain to watch it, just get in touch with your inner child
Modern Family is pretty good, as is How I met your Mother (albeit the earlier seasons were better)
I've great things about Mad Men, but never watched it personally.

Amen on Archer. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. I seldom laugh out loud when I'm watching TV, but that does it for me.
