etc etc
so as you can see all american but i am glad to have a look at anything british that's out there (doubt it  ) o wait loved life on mars
Any ideas please?

Battlestar Galactica.
Don't dismiss me, you'll get the same amount of politics and hard-hitting character drama you get in The West Wing. That's my recommendation anyhow.

Comedy? Hmm - Two And A Half Men, Californication, The Big Bang Theory - I would say Reaper but that got cancelled after 2 seasons and there's nothing worse than getting into a series and it getting canned - Terminator Sarah Conner Chronicles 
What can I say about Heroes - people with 'superhuman abilities - flying, invisibilty, time travel & teleportation, you name it you got it really in a the good ol battle between good and evil) it starts well in series 1, admittedly it takes a bit of a dip in 2 & 3 but hopefully new series is back with a bang
Also you didn't mention giving The Unit a go - this is one of my favs  American Military series with Robert Patrick (T-1000?? from Terminator 2), Dennis Haysbert who played President Palmer in 24 and Scott Foley who had a bit role in Scrubs as Elliots boyfriend Sean.

Access to Sky? "House" starts series 6 next Sunday, Sky 1 (&HD) 9pm.
One of the very best programmes around,in my opinion of course.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" and
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" are the funniest things to me but make sure you watch them in order
you might like OZ or even Dark Angel if you watched Alias
