Since so many of our geek loves are cancelled or on hiatus, what are you watching now?
We usually catch up with a series or two in the summer. This summer we did all of Orphan Black, and just finished the first season of Justified. Both of which I'd highly recommend. Otherwise I think Breaking Bad, Broadchurch, and True Blood are about our only active season passes right now? That doesn't seem right, but I can't think of anything else. DH watches the Newsroom and Walking Dead without me.
Anyone think Supernatural is worth watching? That fandom seems to cross over with a lot of my others, but I haven't made the leap yet.
Veronica Mars rewatch here--we just started season 3. Then we have a long list of series that we want to catch up on:
Breaking Bad (stopped midway through season 3) Dexter (haven't seen last two seasons) Homeland Orange is the New Black Orphan Black Star Trek TNG rewatch!

I'm watching Broadchurch and some other shows like Covert Affairs and Under the Dome. We're finishing Always Sunny and I'm starting The Thick of It. The last season of the Guild. Then how knows.
I quite like Supernatural, it's surprisingly funny with good writing. I say give it a try. Ben Edlund writes for it often (you know him as the writer of Angel's Smile Time (and others), Firefly's Jaynestown and Trash, and Venture Brothers' ¡Viva los muertos!. Oh plus the tick). It's in it's 9th season so there is a lot of it to watch. It's ok not to love all of them or have a season you don't care for; starting with season 6 it had a few different show runners and not everyone loves those.
I loved Supernatural up until season 6 and then I stopped but my DH has started watching from the beginning so we'll eventually give it another try. I've currently been rewatching Buffy and then Angel. Orphan Black is also on my list to start.
I am watching Big Bang Theory, and enjoying On Demand of my educational shows (H2, discovery etc). I am (im)patiently waiting for TMNT to start again as well as Season 2 of Avatar (korra)
Hubs is deployed, so I'm waiting for him to get back before starting Breaking Bad again. Same thing with Futurama and Dexter. I'm finishing the last two episodes of True Blood, then moving on to Doctor Who. I've never seen it, but I feel like I'm out of the loop, so I'm starting from season one (I think. I know the show has been on forever, but the ones I downloaded say season 1-2005)
I've been watching something called "White Collar" which isn't really all that geeky but stars Matt Bomer who is really pretty. It also helps that the show is entertaining.
We've also been watching Wil Wheaton's Table Talk and have got some great ideas for board games we can play with our 7yo.
Also Broadchurch - because why would you miss anything with David Tennant
