My second favorite after Star Trek is either Heroes or Lost - both are still works in progress. With Heroes, the deciding factor will be whether they can keep up the quality level after the first season. With Lost, I won't really be able to judge till the final moments of the final episode because of course they will hold the resolution of the mystery till then - if they come up with something that makes sense but surprises me, I'll be very impressed. Right now, it seems like they've gone well past the point where anything could make sense, but we'll see... 
Pushing Daisies is now a contender, but after ONE episode, I can't say anything for sure. Futurama also deserves a mention. The X-Files, Farscape and the new BSG have their ups and downs, but the ups are very far up. Firefly had a lot of potential but I'm the type who wants to wait for a full season before I start to solidfy my opinion and even then, I'd rather wait to see if they can keep the quality up after a full second season. That's the real acid test.
Another contender and definitely my favorite non-sci-fi series of all time: Dexter. Once again, can they maintain the level of quality that they showed in S1? Dexter's premise requires a delicate balancing act to pull off and there are things they can never do, unless they want to go off in risky new directions - but not to do those things runs the risk of becoming stale.
Favorite comedy of all time: Entourage.

Kung Fu is top notch. David Carradine has said that he crafted Caine's mannerisms after Spock. Maybe that's why many TOS fans like it ....
Other good shows (some not mentioned yet):
Rawhide
The Twilight Zone (60's)
The Outer Limits (60's)
The Six Million Dollar Man
The X-Files
Highlander
Best one-season show: Nowhere Man
Favorite? Hmmm.
It's not the usual (stuff like "Lost" and other network shows bore the hell outta me) but if I have to choose, it would be the History Channel's "Megadisasters"
I guess if I have to chose a traditional one, "Jericho" would do as well as others. It's deeply flawed and annoying at times, but I'm still watching. That says something. What, I do not know.

It says you're in love with Skeet Ulrich! 
Yeah that's the only reason I keep watching too. Love that buck-toothed WTF look he always has on his face.

If Star Trek is my first favorite than I would have to say either Mary Tyler Moore or Bewitched would be my second favorite. I love tv though so I have multiple shows over several decades that I really love but those two are at the top of my list.
I do think that Star Trek was and still is the greatest TV show of all time!
That being said, I don't have a whole lot of love for modern TV, which is why I watch barely any TV anymore.
My other favorite show has to be without a doubt
M*A*S*H.
The fact that the writers and actors could continue to put out such excellent work for over 11 years speaks volumes as to it's quality.
In a close second, Gilligan's Island, another excellent three-year show cut off in it's prime, another poor decision made by short-sighted network execs.
*Sigh* Thank goodness for reruns
