I'm going to have to watch this post for ideas, cause I'm in about the same situation-- living alone, doing school-things, and needing more TV for entertainment. :)
Series wot I have enjoyed recently:
Invisible Man: AWESOME. It's about a thief named Darien who gets a gland implanted in his head that enables him to become invisible, and is forced to work for a secret Agency to solve crimes and stop terrorism and that kind of thing. It's got lovely teamy moments between Darien, his partner and his Keeper, and h/c in literally *every single episode*-- it's beautiful. And the entire thing is up on hulu/youtube.
The Chronicle: Cute little series about a reporter who can't get a job anywhere else, so he has to join a tabloid of the Bigfoot-Ate-My-Baby type-- only to find out that everything they write about is 100% real. I'm only on episode 4, so I'll let this ship manifesto (http://community.livejournal.com/ship_manifesto/183490.html) speak to why it's so awesome. (Downloads here (http://community.livejournal.com/heard_of_it/16960.html), tho you have to join the comm to see them.)
Warehouse 13: Brand new SciFi Channel SyFy series, kind of dorky and adorable, about two Secret Service agents who get shanghaied into working at the Warehouse, a repository for supernatural objects. Great partner dynamics between Pete and Myka, the two leads, and some pretty awesome secondary characters. And they definitely aren't afraid to throw the characters from moving cars and that sort of thing. (Note: the first two episodes aren't great, but it hits its stride after that.)
and, of course: THE MIDDLEMAN. Fantastically quirky series that was cut cruelly short. Wendy Watson, a struggling artist, gets recruited by a secret agency to solve exotic problems and fight against evil forces. Lots of lovely friendships and teaminess. I basically love this show with all my heart.
