Years ago when Farscape was originally airing I wouldnt give it the time of day, I mean muppets in space...pfft!

Relatively recently though I came across all 4 seasons at Big W and they were really cheap and seeing as though I was hankering for something, anything sci fi I snapped them up. What I will say is that if Farscape is watched contiguously IT ROCKS! If you just watch an episode a week or here and there its easy to become uninterested. Thats the beauty of DVD sets, the story arc is much easier to follow.

Hmm. Um. Difficult question. Probably Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica and Invader Zim! Zim is so great. Especially Gir.

I have bad taste, but am honest, so follows is a list of all the programs that i have been avid followers of. These are shows that have shaped me, they are not in a particular order, but i have put indications and stuff.

TEENAGE MUTANT HERO TURTLES. Now, haven't seen an episode of the original for years now, since i was a little'un, and i have no intention to do so, as it will no doubt ruin my affection. This is the show that shaped me as i grew, it was probably were i first got my taste for sci-fi. And the first fella who tries to argue that a show about giant turtles with super strength isn't sci-fi will recieve a beating.

BUFFY. Now i love Buffy, i just do. Buffy was something that i grew through, from the age of about 10. I watched it with my Dad, we bonded. It's got good character arcs, they don't always make sense sure, but it's cool. It is funny and intelligent and it basically will always be a love of mine. I just wish i could afford to buy the whole lot on DVD.

SLIDERS. Now i haven't seen all of sliders. Poss the last half of the last series i missed. It is regularly slated as being stupid, lifeless and a show that in no way reached it's potential. Doesn't matter, i liked it.

ALIAS. Used to love. Not so much any more, but still gd.

XENA. Amazonian women in tight animal clothign kicking ass. Badly scripted it may have been, badly acted, badly concieved. Brilliantly tounge in cheek though. If this isn't the reason i was ready for buffy, i don't know what was.

ANGEL. It's good, it's dark, it is physically and pyhcologically very painful to watch. Not always particularly brilliant, but certainly good.

24. Not seen the new season, sure it'll be gd tho. I like 24, it's fast paced and it's clever. Not funny tho, shame really, almost perfect, but not quite.

CHARMED. Stupid, idiotic, ridiculous, pointless, blatent rip-off of buffy. Fg brilliant though.

There's so many more but i can't think of them all, i'm sure i'll add.

We achieved the impossible, and that makes us mighty

My all-time favourite show prior to "Firefly" is the excellent "Babylon 5". Just loved that show to pieces! Runners up would be -

"Farscape"
The first four seasons of "The X-Files"
"Northern Exposure"
"Crusade"
"The Dead Zone"
"First Wave"
"Voyager"
"Brimstone"
"Space: Above and Beyond"
"Enterprise"

My soul belongs to "Babylon 5" but my heart - ah, my heart - belongs to "Firefly".

Bah, I can't choose just one. So I won't.

The Shield
Battlestar Galactica (the current incarnation)
Farscape
Babylon 5
Crusade
Charlie Jade (Only managed to catch 1 ep, and it impressed the heck out of me. Definitely a show that I think could make a run for best sci-fi on TV... yeah, even against BSG)
Corner Gas
Doctor Who (the current incarnation)
House
Lost
Stargate

Does Blue Sun sponser the Blue Man Group?

From what I've read on the site, Charlie Jade would be on my list IF ONLY we could see it in the US!

A couple that would normally be at the top of my list have already been mentioned (Sports Night, Babylon 5, early X-Files), so I'll have to go with one not yet listed (on this thread at least).

American Gothic

somewhat off-topic, and I honestly don't know if I've already posted this. But I'm not going to check. A few people have mentioned Charlie Jade, and I wanted to plug the blog of the show's head writer. As a bonus, he's a HUGE Firefly fan - he posted on his blog how upset he was they didn't have any screenings in Montreal.

Anyway, it's http://complicationsensue.blogspot.com

He's also written my favorite screenwriting book, Crafty Screenwriting
