That was something Firefly didn't manage to do (although a movie is still pretty damn impressive).
i agree, family guy is freaking hilarious, and just about everyone i know at college loves it. another great one: futurama. i like it better than family guy. it's by the producers of the simpsons, but i'd say it's better than the simpsons (and i do enjoy the simpsons). it's just...wonderful. kind of like a firefly cartoon...but different.
oh, and i also say red dwarf! smegging awesome!

DARK ANGEL!!!
Ain't exactly AS good as Firefly, but then, nothing is.

i personally never got into dark angel
Angel and Buffy are obvious one's but you've already got tehm down i think.
Red Dwarf is excellent, start at the beginning though, it's an interesting one Red Dwarf, thru the series it gets steadily better, then steadily worse, but still one of the best things you'll ever see.
New doctor who, amazing, i mean amazing, just destroys geordies.lol
erm, couple of english shows to add, spooks (about MI5) is pretty good, as is a bizarre comedy called my hero which is a little cheesy but fantastic, all to do with this irish super hero, genius.
can't really think of much else
We achieved the impossible, and that makes us mighty
The Duke

Not alot of people have heard of a show called Charlie Jade. It's a brand new series, but only showing in Canada unfortunately, so you may have to see it via alternative means until it hits the US. It's one of those shows you think about afterward and look forward to it for a week. It's very complex, dark, and very serialized. If you like Blade Runner, you'll like this.
The setting is 3 parallel universes. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. There are more than that, but so far only 3 are dealt with. Gamma however does not come in play so much, as yet. Alpha is more technically advanced, but at the expense of using up its’ natural resources. Beta is us. Less advanced and using up our natural resources quickly. Gamma is the least advanced but is an ecological paradise. All 3 have sinister undercurrents. Vexcor, a multi-national corporation, provides the link. It has developed a “gate” between universes and has set up shop in all three. The top executives are the only ones that know about the gate and have the controlling positions in the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma versions of Vexcor. When eco-terrorists from Gamma blow up the gate facility at Vexcor Gamma, a chain reaction takes out Beta and Alpha. The result is, all travel and communication between the universes is cut off. Our hero, Charlie Jade, a private eye, is too near the Vexcor Alpha facility when it explodes and gets catapulted to Beta. The villain, and the man Charlie is chasing, 01 (Owen) Boxer, is one of two people that can travel between universes without a gate. The other is Brion Boxer; the bed-ridden president of Vexcor and 01’s father. 01 is an unstable nutcase, but is called on to be a courier between universes while Vexcor scrambles to rebuild the gates. However, 01 has ambitions of his own. And so it begins.

Three actually - although the final series was shorter than ususal (and the quality wasn't so great, but still). At least, you can buy all 3 series on DVD in the UK.
Another vote for Scrubs/Arrested Development & The West Wing (As far as cancelled shows go I'd recommend Dead Like Me, & I've just started watching Wonderfalls which seems mighty promising).

To those who have mentioned Sports Night - 
. You guys rock! To quiz you - What is the sport of kings?
As for other shows, other than the obvious ones (Wonderfalls, The Inside), I'm going through big Lost withdrawal right now (I don't watch reruns much). Ticked at ABC for pushing Boston Legal back to the fall. In agreement with Family Guy fans here - freakin' hilarious. Steer clear of American Dad, though. Not half as funny and twice as annoying.
I'm running for cover as I mention this one, but I actually like Stacked - that new Pamela Anderson sitcom that comes on before The Inside. It's actually funny. Of course, I'm a bit of a Christopher Lloyd mark, but it's still a good show. Not likely to stick around, but good filler.
