I like The Mentalist, Survivor and The Amazing Race. The Mentalist in particular is very interesting to watch, even though the main character (Patrick) is eccentric he's brilliant. For example in one of the episodes, he is talking to a man in a wheelchair and they are at a cafe, and Patrick takes out a coin and starts flipping it. He drops it and bends to pick it up, and originally you think he did it by accident, but near the end of the show when Patrick and his colleagues are tailing the man, he gets out of his wheelchair to walk to a locker and is promptly arrested. He asks how Patrick knew it was him, and Patrick replied "When I was flipping the coin talking to you at the cafe, when I bent to pick it up I looked at the bottom of your shoes, and they were dirty, indicating you had been walking recently."
He also said it was the first time in ten years looking at the bottom of people in wheelchair's shoes where it paid off, but you can't win them all, I guess, aha.
