Still show up for Simpsons, though it's not a stellar season. I like to watch the recent Simpsons DVDs with commentary--Conan is very entertaining. Another DVD must-have for comedy lovers is "Mr. Show". It ran for four seasons on HBO, and is one of the funniest sketch comedies ever--David Cross and Bob Odenkirk are brilliant!
As far as watching stuff that's actually being broadcast now, I dig Family Guy (can't wait for the new shows!), the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Home Movies, Sealab 2021 (as a kid, I loved the real Sealab 2020), and, I have to admit, re-runs of The West Wing. When it's firing on all cylanders, West Wing is one of the most well made television shows I've ever seen--the writing, acting, photography, and all other factors make it as cinematic a product as the boob tube has ever managed.
Oh yeah, I have also discovered "The Shield" in reruns--it took a long time for Chiklis to discover that he needed to lose twenty pounds and stop trying to be funny to be compelling LOL
