Recommend some English tv series or movies

I want to ask you if you could recommend some tv series (British or American: doesn´t matter, maybe I'd rather American because... I don´t know why but I don´t understand a British sense of humor a little bit :D) or movies which will help me with my English skills...

I have already seen Friends, Gilore Girls, Gossip Girl, HIMYM and Grey´s anatomy (in my language) so I want to try something new in English and at first with English subtitles and later without them...

I have already tried tv series "Cougar town" but I don´t know if it was the right choice... there were many slang´s parts and for example I was searching translation of "you betcha" for a long time :D

But maybe it was because of the subject of this series and so on... there was another problem. I think their pronunciation was quite fast and inarticulate for me - yeah it wasn´t made for foreign watchers (me) but for Americans of course...

So do you have any advice for me?

Sorry for my mistakes but I´m not really good in English.

Thank you in advance for your help.

This is going to be more difficult that I thought because you have already listed all of my favorite programs. Here are some other ones that you might consider.

1) Bones
The darkly amusing drama Bones is about a Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, who works at the Jeffersonian Institution. She as the amazing ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her in to assist with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned, or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless. Brennan works with Special Agent Seeley Booth, a former Army sniper who mistrusts science and scientists when it comes to solving crimes.

2)Medium
Patricia Arquette is a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people. She now uses her talents to help the police solve crimes.

3) Private Practice
Private Practice is a spin-off of the highly popular ABC series, Grey's Anatomy starring Kate Walsh as Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery, a renowned neonatal surgeon. After realizing that her life isn't advancing at Seattle Grace, Addison moves to Santa Monica to start a new life. She reunites with her newly divorced med school friends, Naomi (Audra McDonald) and Sam (Taye Diggs), and joins them in their chic private practice.

4) Dexter
Dexter is a forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police Department. He is the main support for his sister. He has a steady girlfriend, with two kids who adore him. He also happens to kill people who have committed crimes and not been caught yet. He makes sure that they pay for their crimes.
