If the TV is on, I look for anything with Azumi Announcer, Shimada Shinsuke, Nakai from SMAP, Ishibashi from Tunnels, or Downtown and pretty much all the reruns of Jidaigeki (mostly listed in others posts...plus Abarenbou Shougun, Zenigata, Kozure, Kage no Gundan aka Shadow Warriors)

I forgot about Sekai Fushigi Hakken! I used to love watching that one too!

I get TV Japan on my digital cable, but it's REALLY boring - sorta like a Japanese PBS (seriously, there's like... sumo, a science show, and a news program). So, I have to rely on torrents

I used to love to watch Hello! Morning, but it's not "in production" anymore.
