I haven't seen much new foreign television, but as far as older BBC stuff goes, Dr. Who was always really cool, as was Red Dwarf. I loved Neverwhere and The Young Ones cracked me.

Neverwhere was a miniseries the BBC did in 1996. Written by Neil Gaiman, it's a great dark fantasy piece revolving around the homeless living under the city of London in London Below. Gaiman also adapted the story into a novel, which I also recommend (but Gaiman is my favorite writer, so maybe there's a bias there).
The Young Ones was an early 80's British sitcom about four guys sharing an apartment. An anarchist, a punk rocker, a hippie and another guy. It ran for two seasons and it's worth checking out for some good hilarity.

Neverwhere is great, I have the DVDs, I could just bring them over.
As for the Young Ones, it's a lot more "out there" than you might guess, but you might not like it.

I love korean novela. Boys over Flowers. First time i got hooked up on a show. I think this is better than the original from Taiwan's Meteor Garden. Because the korean version is based on the old one the cartoon version.
