I was being mean and going for the non-obvious on a lot of these.
1. Sexual tension, cellular phone, famous opening theme - X-Files
2. Janitor, title spoken by character, sitcom - Scrubs
3. Steampunk, racism, resurrection - Fullmetal Alchemist
4. Female soldier, class conflict, cargo - Firefly (I'm sort of confused about "class conflict," but "cargo" amused me)
5. Child soldier, martial arts, bison - Avatar: the Last Airbender (Bison!)
6. Interracial relationship, double life, surveillance - Spooks (Though this applies to a lot of other shows as well. And really, the interracial relationships aren't highlighted.)
7. Neo noir, homosexual demon, attempted child murder - Angel (Am so amused by "attempted child murder")
8. Knight, classical music, creation story - Princess Tutu
9. Sibling incest subtext, memory loss, biracial child - Heroes (though I don't see the subtext myself)
10. Double suicide, loneliness, religious symbolism, sliced in two, decapitation, strangulation, doll, crushed head, filicide, hanging, erection, face slap, blood splatter (I had to put them all in! Come on! How awesome is it that one show has all these keywords?!) - Neon Genesis Evangelion, the most cracktastic, insane, and completely strange anime of all time. Features all of the above, and then some.
