Zombie Acorn.. Welcome to MR!
I had not realized that some of the videos were no longer valid!
As for your question... hmmmm.. I am not the best person to answer that as English is my native language. HOWEVER, I think it might be best to download the TV show of choice and then the subtitles and match them up together. That is what we tend to do with the Russian films

As for what TV shows.. I have often recommended Gilmore Girls as a very good show as it uses "real" American English and it is how people really speak. One on top of the other in half spoken, run on sentences. They also have a number of references to pop culture with music, film and books. One can learn a great deal besides English from watching this series. Also, the scripts for these are available online so you can read everything.

I know that House, M.D. is another one that is very well acted and has a great script.

Anyone else have suggestions?
English is my native language also, which is why I am clueless about finding good Russian shows (I see now that I wasn't very clear in my initial posting).

I have just started learning Russian and am now just trying to build a basic Russian vocabulary, not sure what TV shows are popular in Russia or if TV in Russia is anything like what we have in the US.
