Vanity: Looking for good TV/Cable TV dramas. Any suggestions?

A couple of weeks ago I was aimlessly changing channels when I came across CBS's "Vegas", a drama about the mob in Las Vegas in the early 1960's. It's a fantastic show, with a strong sense of right and wrong, and I didn't even know that the show existed.
So evidently not all of TV is either mindless reality or bland comedy. Any suggestions for other good TV dramas?

I like Burn Notice. You can watch old episodes on Netflix
About a former CIA spy.

NCIS and Burn Notice are the only two I watch religiously.

Good TV was eliminated with the influx of PC network executives, years ago. I quit watching TV with the exception of ‘House’, which they are cancelling - it figures!

If you can get past the good guys being the bad guys and the bad guys being the good guys, I’d recommend “Sons of Anarchy”. The first 3 seasons are on Netflix.

If you want a good, even great, drama, I would recommend Last Resort. It is about the Captain and crew of American submarine ordered to attack a foreign country by a corrupt American administration. You will cheer the Captain and crew because they face EXACTLY the very issues we talk about on the pages of Free Republic.

I like Sons of Anarchy. Also found Mad Men on Netflix.
I watched Weeds and Breaking Bad on Netflix.
To: Leaning Right
Person of interest, NCIS, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Last Resort,
Homeland, Justified, Hell on Wheels, Walking Dead.
Warning—these are nor for the kiddies.
Most previous seasons available on Disc from Netflix or whatever, episodes of current seasons are usually available from itunes, etc.

Watched Vegas for the first time last night...
Found it kinda dry and boring...
Now I see in the next show the good guys and bad guys join together to fight.....something....
I’ll stick with NCIS and Burn Notice...

Others have already recommended Burn Notice (which I miss now that I don't have DirecTV.)
REVOLUTION on NBC is an *excellent* show, IMO. Besides football on Sunday's, it's the only thing I watch on TV.
Re-Runs are available on Hulu Plus if you have that to catch-up.

Funny I wanted to like Revolution very much, but it seem to grow old on me very fast.
I forgot to add Falling Skies to my list.

Yeah, and it’s a little too cliched.
It’s watchable though.
