Law & Order
Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
But mostly because after 15 years, Law & Order is a well established habit. The only show among the new series that I'm going to allow myself to watch is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and I'll watch the first few episodes of Heroes and if it holds up I'll make sure to watch it on DVD when the series is over and I know the makers of the show were able to take it to some conclusion.
The current glut of serialized television dramas (like Lost and 24) is a good thing but I also read a lot of epic fantasy. For the same reason that I don't start a series of epic fantasy until I know the author has finished the series I don't want to start watching a TV under the threat that it will get cancelled 9 shows into the season. And the very nature of this type of TV show makes cancellation much more likely (for the most part they can only lose viewers rather than gain new viewers who will be lost if they jump in mid stream).
