Dexter is not psychotic.
he's completely aware of his actions and their moral accountability.
if anything, he's the most sane serial killer ever.

Yeah, he's not psychotic, he's sociopathic, aware of the morality of his actions and deliberately engaging in anti-social behaviors and weaving a fabric of deception to protect himself. And the show is effing awesome.

I'd never claim it as "most awesome" but Season 1 (especially if seen on DVD, i.e. over two RT days
was pretty stunning. Looking back, it doesn't bear a moment's rational examination but at the time it was an exciting journey. I'd also mention the shocking event near the start of Season 5. That was a jaw-dropping moment.Not, perhaps, awesome but a South to 24's North Pole is West Wing. The first four seasons were consistently well written, willing to go into issues and it was funny as well.
Firefly (great because it never had the opportunity to outstay its welcome).
BtVS/Angel had their moments.
Not on my awesome list but surely worthy of mention is Babylon 5.
And, of course, Stargate SG-1. Not just awesome but 214 episodes of awesome.
A lot of older series don't compare well (partly because cheap special effects look so much better these days). It's probably not fair to compare them.
Edit: Forgot - Farscape. 1st two seasons were amazing.

I'd claim it as best action series easily.
24 was an experience unlike anything I've seen in my entire life. I really can't recall anything that kept my adrenaline levels peaked for hours on end like 24 did.
That being said, I'm glad it ended. They were starting to recycle plot lines like no tomorrow.
my wife loves that show. I don't get it though, I keep telling her that if she wants to hear an arrogant know it all, all she needs to do is talk to me :/

For some reason when I first saw Firefly my reaction was "meh" but then I came across it well after it had been cancelled and got hooked on its awesomeness
Really miss SG1/Atlantis and Farscape
Things got a little screwy near the end of the series run of Farscape, but that final movie was epic. Basically "Want this weapon? Here it is, up close and personal, see you in oblivion"
As for recent, Burn Notice
Babylon 5 - such awesomeness cannot be repeated (the new Battlestar Galactica was getting close though)
There are a lot of great shows listed above but there is only one show that I know of that is more than just entertaining. You actually learn something useful and valuable in every episode.
Mythbusters !
