I can't believe no one's mentioned this... BOARDWALK EMPIRE. Best TV I've seen in a long, long time. If you don't have an aversion to Sci-Fi and you like comedy, Eureka is really good. Also... I'm sure you've heard it before, but Firefly is a must watch.
House is decent in the same way that Lie to Me and Dexter are decent. It's not flawless scriptwriting, but you won't be able to stop watching.
For movies chax Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs the World (arguably the best movie of 2010), Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (NPH and Nathan Fillion, 'nuff said.), and I Am Legend just to fill in the horror gap.
If you're ever in the mood for something more cerebral, my three favorite films are Primer, The Last Man on Earth, and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (screenplay written and directed by Jim from The Office!). Let the Right One In is subtitled and somewhat slow-moving, but imo it's simultaneously the best vampire movie and coming-of-age film ever made. If I think of more, I'll come back and edit this.
