Burn Notice, at least the first 2-3 seasons.

It has an overarching plot, but it only spends about 5 minutes an episode on it. To serve that plot, Michael Westen, ex-spy, must solve a problem each episode for ordinary victims across Miami using trickery and con tactics.

It always evoked a bit of Macgyver-style creative feel in me. Sadly, the story and the actors went downhill with time. (For that matter, Macgyver is a lot of fun in spite of being an oldie. There’s some kind of remake which I never bothered with)
