what TV-Show do you find the smartest, with the smartest words used, or where the crew had to do a lot of research to make the show original and intelligent ...

my choice would be X-Files, I watch House MD in English language, without subtitles, so I watched Prison Break, Misfits, Band Of Brothers, Taken, NCIS and other shows, and I never really had any problems with the words used in the shows, but The X-Files are exceptional, and I admit that I need to watch X-Files with English subtitles so that I can translate the words they use, the words that come from different terminologies and they're often very edifying and uncommon ...

so, if you my dear friends can tell me any shows that are fucking smart, with intelligent humor, TV show that uses metaphors, paranoia, sarcasm and irony, tell me, cause the most recent revision of my skills in English language conducted by a very credible person showed me that X-Files have been working on it harder than anything else

I need more TV-Shows like this one

cool guys, I used to watch Criminal Minds, not such a hard language, but a good show, I should watch it again, I can't understand how I totally forgot about it, I really liked it ...

never heard of QI, but checked it on IMDB and it looks really interesting, I'll try that

The Big Bang Theory was recommended to me so many times that I really do need to watch it in a short period of time ...

Robot Wars seem to suck ass, but I pretty much think that Booby knows that

and Kyle XY is something similar to Smallville, isn't it ? Never found that kind of shows any interesting ...

House M.D. would be my first choice, but since you love that one...

Hmm... Maybe The Mentalist? At least some of the solutions in the episodes are 'intelligent'.

i've only seen about a dozen episodes, but curb your enthusiasm is seriously an incredibly well-written show. like multiple little things throughout the episode that your get a laugh from will come back later and tie into the story to give you an even bigger laugh. i know it's a comedy, but that show is just straight up smart.

I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but Arrested Development and The Office are quite good.
