* Charlie Jade ROCKS! (I didn't realize it wasn't airing in the US)
* Battlestar Galactica is the best Sci Fi series in years
* Space Above and Beyond had some good moments (too bad Space in Canada doesn't show it)
* I loved Jeremiah (Space just finished and has re-started it again)
* I only enjoyed Farscape after it had ended, but the final season and the miniseries (Peacekeeper wars) is top notch.
* I am always entertained by Stargate SG1
* The first few seasons of West Wing were really good

OMG! I almost completely forgot!

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

This is such an amazing show, hilariously funny and very inventive.
I mean - how do you sell an idea like that?

Plus the movie rocks.

FLF heart Spongebob!

I still have the pilot (which absolutly rocks) on VHS that I bought in the late eighties! If it came out on dvd I would buy the whole series, even though many of the eps were silly. I also have the Marvel comics adaption and short-lived comic series. Fred Karlin did great music for the TV series, as well as movies like 'Westworld". I can hold my breath underwater for two minutes, and can do Patrick's 'dolphin kick' very well (but it's hard on the lower back).

Not that, you know, I'm like a fan, or anything.

I am actually surprising myself with what I'm going to say here - up until recently I would have said Buffy every time, but I have to say -
DARK ANGEL ROCKS! It is actually as good as Firefly.
I was just wondering what everyone else's favourite is.
Thanks a lot folks!

...and we will call it...this land...



I like and regularly watch (or Tivo) several current shows.

The new "Battlestar Galactia" is the best Sci-Fi show currently on TV, and one of the best drama's period!

"The Inside" is interesting. Tim Minear has taken a formula show, and turned it on it's ear. Who does that remind us off? Though typically, it sounds like FOX will cancel it before it has time to build an audience.

"The 4400". An interesting show, though as the series continues, it seems to be losing it's edge. I haven't given up on it yet, but it's beginning to resemble a soap opera more than a drama. Time will tell.

"House". The lead is such a brillaint but flawed character. It also has the best mix of medical drama and humor I've seen since M*A*S*H*.

"Medium". The relationship between the husband and wife is the closest to a real married couple I've seen on tv since Zoe and Wash. They don't always get along, but they protect each other, and their family comes first.

"The Closer". Kira Sedwick is so un-hollywood, and her character is refreshingly unique for television. She's kinda like a female Columbo. People tend underestimate her because of her appearance and personality, but she's much smarter than first impressions might lead you to believe. In fact, she far smarter than the men she works with. If you ever find yourself sitting across from her in an interogation room, you might as well confess!

Of shows that got cancelled, a few stand out for me.

I also would have liked to see more "Dark Angel". Two more seasons of "Angel" would have been great! "Space Above and Beyond" deserved a longer run, and "Wonderfalls" early demise is further proof that there is no intelligent life at FOX!

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.



I agree! There is no intelligent life at Fox.

For me - all time fav shows - sans Firefly

1. Space; Above and Beyond
2. Battlestar Galactica
3. Earth II
4. 4400
5. C.S.I.
6. C.S.I. Miami
7. Ncis
8. Stargate
9. Stargate Atlantis

Just to mention a few.

Oh another thing, it's okay to be scared.

POTENTIAL SPOILER... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!


Ahh... always the hard questions..... I'd have to say for a while I loved 3rd season Enterprise (Hayes/MACOs) but then they killed off my fav. character. Around that time, the same actor (Stephen Culp) was also playing Webb on JAG. So I started watching that too.... until they killed off my favorite char (Webb.. aka SC). So THEN I realize they 'killed' Hayes due to his casting on a new show called Desperate Housewifes.... and I thought. Okay. Cool. I'll try to get over it.

Guess what ruttin' thing happened to his freakin' character at the end of the first season.

I tell ya.... no wonder I like Wash. It's fitting. Ya'all can just blame me! I'm jinxed.

That said... I liked Enterprise. I liked JAG. I even liked DH. These days I find myself watching Joey & Nip/Tuck. At least it's funny and there's no chance I'm going to like the main character on it and he/she will die.

I've had several favorites over the years, but the only show I ever bought the DVDs for is GENE RODDENBERRY'S ANDROMEDA.

That's also why I write fan fic about it and created a message board for the fans.

Ahhh. Hehee. That's cool. Starting your own message board/fan fic. Very impressive!!

To date I don't think I've ever bought any box sets.... unless Jurassic Park counts. (Does that count?) And come to think of it, it was a gift.

We do however own the entire SG1 series.... hmm. Didn't purchase that either.

It's a race between THE SOPRANOS and BUFFY with THE SOPRANOS somewhat ahead.

I really like Monk. It was slipping a bit the season before last but i still love it. Outside of that, Futurama, Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Reno 911 is on occasion hi-larious.
