I saw Prison Break, The Sopranos, and now I'm watching heroes too. I want to watch something like The Wire or Sopranos with a really good plot and action.

As someone who also finished The Wire, check out Breaking Bad and Dexter. I can't recommend either enough. Breaking Bad is about a highschool teacher diagonosed with terminal cancer who starts cooking meth to support his pregnant wife and his son who suffers from cerebral palsy after he's gone, while Dexter is about a serial killer working for the Miami police department as a blood spatter analyst who lives his life against a moral code his father taught him.
Arrested Development
...in addition to Shockfactor's suggestions:
Deadwood
30 Rock
Mad Men
...in addition to CitrusNinja's suggestions:
Battlestar Galactica
Definitely Mad Men. I'd also recommend Arrested Development, because that has to be recommended in every 'what shall I watch next?' thread (and rightly so).
Nah. That's it. You're done with TV.
unless you some smart-ass pawn.
"Oh hey there, Mr. McNugget. Lemme just write my clown-ass name on this big-ass check," would also have been acceptable.
House MD,
Mr Show (Comedy, David cross sketch show),
Arrested Development (Comedy, Scripted show),
Curb your enthusiasm (Comedy, Like seinfeld),
Oz (Also a HBO drama, very similar to sopranos and the wire)
twin peaks
David Lynch is one of my favorites. Seen all his movies, never seen this show. Can't figure out why.
Ditto. Breaking Bad and Dexter, also House, and maybe Six Feet Under if you're a Michael C. Hall fan in general.
Lost. That show is a mind fuck and a half.
Farscape.
Damages -- At least the first season, I couldn't stop myself from watching one episode after another!
Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Dexter
Breaking Bad is great. I just recently got into the Tudors, the first few episodes seemed slow but then it really got going. Currently in the middle of the second season which is way better than the first.
Dexter is fantastic, especially the first season. Highly recommended. The second season is questionable imo, but the third and fourth seasons are great.
Oz is an awesome show with a huge ensemble cast, very plot-driven and compelling, I finished all six seasons in about a month.
I'd also recommend True Blood if you don't mind campiness. It's a fun show. And I just started Mad Men and it's amazing so far, but I'm only on the first season.
Deadwood. Battlestar Galactica. Band of Brothers. Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe. Flashpoint. Eureka. Skins.
Ohhh......I second the Band of Brothers. And this is coming from someone who doesn't normally enjoy war shows/movies (besides Apocalypse Now)
Oh ya forgot to say I have seen Band of Brothers too and Stargate SG-1 and they rock the socks out!
Deadwood and OZ!!!
and Homicide: Life on the Streets is amazing and totally underrated!
Eureka, Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers, Dexter (my favorite), Fringe, The Shield, (if you really liked the wire)
If you liked the character development in The Wire, then Mad Men will tick that box for you too.
If you liked the crime, go for Breaking Bad.
If you liked the offbeat comedy, check out Arrested Development (this is a bit of a stretch).
I haven't seen any Sopranos at all, so I'm thinking of moving on to that next. I'm hoping it has some parallels with S2 of The Wire.
True Blood (Another HBO Show) Chuck
Frasier is a pretty neat show, though if you like shows like "The Wire", I'm not sure if you'll be able to relate to it very well.
I just got into Breaking Bad a while back. It's literally my favorite show of all time. Probably the only show that has effectively gotten me to talk/yell at the TV.
ditto...I live in Albuquerque so that show is even more interesting to me. I live near most of the places they shoot. Very surreal.
I just watched episode 3 of season 2 last night. I just hope I don't burn through season 2 before the 3rd season starts.
