I am being entirely serious when I say that I haven't turned on my TV to watch cable in a few years. Most of my entertainment comes from the Internet (from great people like you~). So what's good that's on TV right now? I'd rather get referrals from someone here than wasting time checking the tube.
I think the last actual Cartoon show I watched on TV was MLP, which was okay, but I probably won't continue to watch. So recommendations on cartoons, running series, any shows like BBC's Sherlock or Doctor Who? Or you could just tell me what you've been watching as of late.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
the amazing world of gumball, daily show/colbert mon-thu 11pm-12am on comedy central
that is all i have to contribute to this thread
anime
but if you are in the mood for British comedy i would recommend the it crowd.
community, arrested development and it's always sunny are all pretty good. haven't seen that much of it's always sunny though. might start getting into dr. who as well 'cause i hear it's really great.
for cartoons: gravity falls, adventure time, amazing world of gumball, and regular show are all pretty worth watching. except in my experience regular show gets kind of tiresome, but that could just be me.
american entertainment IS THE MIND KILLER

gravity falls

(except in my experience regular show gets kind of tiresome, but that could just be me.)
that is basically what i was going to say. i really love the first season of reg show but i do admit that it kind of got formulaic and i probably only still like it because i find the little gags funny and still enjoy the voice actors and art style.
i don't have cable but when i did i watched reg show and adventure time a lot. i watched gravity falls on the internet because it never fucking came on when i actually had time to watch TV. since moving to philly i haven't had cable but i still watch TV shows every once in a while. i watched a lot of the boondocks which can be kind of hit or miss, a lot of the episodes feel like they don't add much to the series. i own the first two seasons of it's always sunny and it's a pretty funny show. for a while i kind of wrote it off as "just another show with awkward humor" but it's actually pretty creatively depraved.
i want to start watching one of the many dr. who's.
i used to watch breaking bad and dexter a few years ago but i stopped following them
Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Mad Men :D
gravity falls is the best animated show i've seen lately.
breaking bad is good too
edit: oh and i HAVE TO check out the amazing world of gumball, probably will do so in the next few weeks
considering the ratings that gravity falls got i'm surprised they don't show it more often
and imo gumball is leagues better than adventure time and regular show, it's really a shame it gets overlooked. it has better characters, writing and animation. some of the best animation i've seen in an animated tv series actually.
Dexter. That show is also CURRENTLY running/broadcasting the newest season.
Although, if you have never watched Dexter before, you may want to start at the first episode.
Another show that I recently watched all episodes of is Community. It's amazing, best sitcom I've ever seen.
And if you like watching 'older' stuff as well, watch Malcolm in the Middle. That one was the best sitcom I've ever seen before I saw Community.
(I consider it to be 'older' stuff cause it has been canceled more than 6 years ago)
Gumball kind of has me hooked. I may just watch that online.

it's a poorly animated comedy about a guy who runs a failing downtown burger joint . he has a dysfunctional family so that americans can relate to it. it's mildly humorous

Meh. I'd watch King of the Hill then. That's a lot more relatable.
i only relate to superjail
Bob's Burgers Pilot Demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAgYbiWh5rY#ws)
Bob's Burgers is by one of the main people who made Home Movies and Lucy Daughter of the Devil
The humor is very similar. I enjoy it when I catch it on tv.
As for shows:
Breaking Bad
Wild Man (please watch this)
Bigfoot Hunters (please PLEASE watch this)
Criminal Minds
CSI
Regular Show (this current season has been the best possibly)
Adventure Time
Amazing World of Gumball
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the new Nickelodeon one.)
Thine Miniature Steed : Arcane Amiable Alliance Hour
Spongebob (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISO7rIu7c4Q#) Squarepants (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yojDSv25aak#ws)
Superjail
Walking Dead (season 1)
Blue Bloods (starring tom selleck)
Castle (starring nathan fillion)
That pilot episode is actually not too bad! Also, Zekey those spongbob episode clips are hard to watch.
new spongebob sux
sure does
I watch quite a bit of the new TMNT, it was definitely a good show! Brought back some fond memories.

So yeah, Dexter, Community, and Malcolm in the Middle, to sum it up.
Got another one to suggest though: An Idiot Abroad.
Karl Pilkington. Going around to see the 7 world wonders. (<-Season 1)
Finishing several items, that are generally considered to be put onto a bucket list (<-Season 2)
And finally, travel the Marco Polo Route with dwarf actor Warwick Davis tagging along. (<-Season 3)
quick question about gumball
why are they making darwin into such an asshole on season 2? i mean sure they're still blowing my mind with some of the scenes (like the hector-centered episode holy shit) but idk, just seems like he was a more interesting counterpoint to the other characters in season 1
sorry for the bump
i think sometimes gumball and darwin are both assholes - they're dumb little kids and they're kind of selfish. if anything, gumball is more of an asshole than darwin, because darwin usually wants to do the right thing. but it doesn't really bother me. the only episode where i thought it ruined it was when they were nagging larry and ended up ruining his life.

I'm assuming Gumball is hosted by CN's website.
gumball has always been the kind of lovable asshole we've seen in other shows so when he takes it a bit too far it's not as shocking to me
it's just that darwin kinda started acting differently in season 2. puberty? <EAT MEAT>
anyway yeah, aside from a couple of episodes (like the one you mentioned and the one where they destroy banana joe's things for no reason), it's not that distracting
and hey at least it's not like johnny test where johnny gets away with being a spoiled brat asshole every episode (in fact he gets rewarded for it)
