Recently I've watched The Vampire Diaries. That is cool and complicated. I couldn't even help myself watching it. But it really made me feel crazy, since there is no any further season for next.
The ending is just a beginning of next.
(P.S. one of my favorite American movies is The Devil Wears Prada. I learnt a lot from it, including American accent.)

Hi, 黄暴力.
I'm afraid I stand out here: I'm an inspired English learner, and I don't like American TV series and motion pictures. The main problem about them is their being surrealistic, unrealistic and irrational even when they are supposed to be more sensible and down-to-earth.
To my mind it's the logic that they lack. (No offence, folks, but this is just the way I feel about the matter.) So, if you want some intellectual watching, American films wouldn't be your best bet. It's just a matter of opinion, but I'd prefer something Asian or European instead.
But that was statistics. Like I say, generalizing doesn't always pay. Since there's an exception to every rule, here're some of the exceptions I've encountered:
1. Buffy the vampire slayer. Though it's quite an old TV show, I like it very much, mostly for being versatile: along with being basically a solemn drama, it is simply funny and presents a beautiful love story.
2. Scrubs. This comedian show is hilarious. You'll have to laugh as much as you can when you watch it because you just can't help laughing. That's how funny it is. At the same time it touches upon some serious practical problems, so it gets instructive very often.
I deliberately name purely American TV series only and avoid mentioning those in the making of which foreign actors or directors were involved. (Then again, Sarah Chalke is Canadian.) For example, one of my favourite TV series, Martial Law, cannot be regarded as purely American because it was made in cooperation: Sammo Hung is not American. I think the show would be different if it were...haha...Tom Cruise instead of Sammo Hung.

30 Rock is a great show, but there is a lot of sarcasm and idioms in the dialogue, so it might be hard to understand the jokes at first. But you will definitely learn a lot!
LOST was amazing because of the writing- it's very clever.
Modern Family is also great- it's very funny.
Please don't watch the Jersey Shore and think that's how all Americans are. :)
