i still enjoy TV as much as I ever did, and don't mind US TV. They've given us the best shows of the last few decades - Friends, frazier, ER, The Simpsons, The Sapranos, Seinfeld.....
TV now - I really enjoy Lost, Gavin and Stacey, My Name Is Earl, tons of history stuff on, Top Gear, Jamie Oliver , plenty of good UK drama.
I think some of you are being ruined by excessive choice. I only have terrestial, so can't endlessly channel surf looking for something "perfect." You're more tempted to give shows a go.
