GSWarrior, I second the Friday Night Lights suggestion. Amazing show. I was surprised it wasn't mentioned more upthread. There are some mature themes in it, but I think it's fine for most viewers.

Bert, Young Indiana Jones is a good adventure show for family viewing (with a few exceptions). Used to watch that when it was on TV; I believe it's available on DVD now.

From The Earth To The Moon was a Tom Hanks produced HBO series on the Apollo missions made after the success of the Apollo 13 movie. Burn Notice is great too.

Finally, a British show that is timeless and appropriate for all viewers is the BBC series All Creatures Great And Small based on the James Herriot books. It was shot at a leisurely pace, so you actually feel your blood pressure go down when you watch it.
