Old favorites: The Simpsons, Family Guy, The West Wing, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Scrubs, Adult Swim on Sunday nights (Aqua Teen, Harvey Birdman, Sealab, et al), Discovery/History channels, Chappelle's Show
Oh, and I like Lost, too . . . fucking Lost; it makes me crazy. I made the mistake of renting the first two seasons, and now I'm hooked. It's like crack in A/V form.
Chuck Palahniuk; Tom Robbins; Kurt Vonnegut; Tom Clancy (yes, I'm a geek); Stephen King's Dark Tower series and related books.
New fave author is Christopher Moore . I've read Lamb. The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (It was f'ing brilliant and hysterical!), Practical Demonkeeping (very clever and funny), The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, The Stupidest Angel, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, Bloodsucking Fiends.
I really liked Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch series (Night Watch, Day Watch and Twilight Watch).
