So I am not really sure how to convey the greatness of these shows with a few scenes, so just take my word for it and watch them. I am also not going to go into long things about what the shows are about...that is what IMDB.com is for, but I will say something that you will appreciate after watching them.
Watch the Pilot episodes...if you do not like those then you are lame and should probably go watch a realty TV show.
Comedy-ish
Freaks and Geeks:
Everything Bill does is funnier than anything Napoleon Dynamite ever did.
Arrested Development:
'References'
Chuck
Strahotski
Big Bang Theory
This show just makes me laugh.
Drama-ish
Friday Night Lights:
6, Qb1, Buddy, Clear Eyes Full Hearts Can't Lose. Forgive the shortcomings of Season 2.
Personal Note: Ed...WATCH THIS SHOW!!!! I have never felt so confident in recommending something to someone.
Link is not embedded since this dude requested that, but it was the best summary video I could find without Coldplay...

Twin Peaks:
Bob is scary...seriously.
This one will not be for everyone, it is very stylized and weird, but give it a chance
Journeyman:
I am pretty sure no one watched this other than me. It is not out on DVD, but Hulu will hook you. It was hands down the best show on NBC in the Fall 2007.
Right as it really starts to get good...canceled. Thanks NBC...hope Knight Rider treats you well. F'ers!!
No clips since there are no good ones. Might have something to do with the fact that they came on TV once and again...no DVD's.
Battlestar Galactica:
The Cylons Were Created by Man.
They Rebelled. They Evolved.
They Look and Feel Human. Some are programmed to think they are Human.
There are many copies.
And they have a Plan.
All I can say about this is it is the best TV show that has ever been made. Hands Down. Second place is not even on the radar. Please do not think this is just some lame Sci-Fi space show, it is not. Give this a shot...you will not regret it.
So say we all.

It's funny because I was thinking of doing an in-depth look at FNL myself. Kayla and I also watched Journeyman so that makes 3 of us. Needless to say this list is spot on. I haven't watched an episode of BSG so I'm not sure on that one or Twin Peaks but I would definitely give them a watch from suggestions from V.
