I'm like you and think TV is crap, so I missed Farscape, Firefly and other good shows.

Right now, i'm getting into Farscape, if your into sci-fi its worth your time.

Battlestar Galatica is good and supposedly has season 1 out on DVD now...

and Buffy/Angel repeats are good watch if you watch when there on, but I can't get myself to whip out the money for all those seasons.. but thats cuz I spend all my money on computer stuff.

if you like anime:
Cowboy Bebop, Trigun and Martian Successor Nadesico are all good sci-fi/fantasy type shows. Had me hooked pretty quick.

Oh and don't forget the funny stuff like, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama.

thats all I can think of without actually watching TV and remembering what I watch when

Sliders season 1 & 2

Season 3 is okay, but thats when it starts to go down hill, and the other seasons are total crap.

This is how it goes with Sliders:

Season 1 "Hey, this is good"

Season 2 "Wow! this is great"

Season 3 "What the hell?"

Anything during and after season 3 this is totally stupid and the writers should just shoot themselves.

Buffy, Angel etc

Blake's 7 - an English sci-fo show which is extremely similar to Firefly and which was an influence to Whedon during his youth I believe. IT is excellent if a little old and very poor production values because it had no money at all.

Babylon 5 - excellent sci-fi, 5 seasons long with lots of character development and huge plotlines of seriously epic scope

extremely dimensionally transcendental

Well I will repeat what some others have said....

Dead like me, awesome and hilarious, killed before its time

Veronica Mars, come on joss himself recommends this one and is gonna gues star on it!

Surface: new, good, sea monsters, government cover up

Supernatural: new also good, two brothers hunting down creepy things, has alec from dark Angel in it

Hmm another old..... Miracles, another david greenwalt baby, investigating strange happenings to see if they are the work of god, or other darker forces

Deadwood. It doesn't matter if you like Westerns or not. This show is unbelievably good.

Buffy and Angel. But they have already been mentioned by a couple of people...

Gilmore Girls. Unless teenage girls bother you...

Veronica Mars. Ditto.

Other HBO shows (Sopranos, Rome)

I like/watch a number of other shows, but these are head and shoulders above the others.

I agree with all except calling it sci-fi, it definitly has some elements of that, but manages to completely escape any conventional 'label'.

It was art.

Be seeing you.

Is ROME any good? Do they have the episodes out for rental yet?

I think it could possibly satisfy my history nerdiness along with my desire for entertainment.

Best thing I watch recently was the History Channel's special on Gengas Khan.

I love TV! But I am sort of a loser. Here are my top TV on DVD shows:

1. Dead Like Me: Seasons 1 & 2

2. Dark Angel: Season 1 & 2

3. Wonderfalls: Complete Series

4. Buffy & Angel (Of course!) 1-7 and 1-5 (Although I don't recommend starting to watch Angel until the start of Buffy Season 4, which is when the show actually started)

5. Arrested Development: The funniest show no one is watching! Seasons 1 & 2 currently available (3 is on Fox)

6. Scrubs (on NBC whenever they get thier shit together about it)

7. Farscape: One of the only Sci-Fi space shows that I would spend the small fortune to buy (I've seen the show, but I have yet to be able to afford it, it is worth it though to rent!!!)

8. Greg the Bunny: hilarity and dirtiness with muppets and people!

9. Strange: I am desperately awaiting the availablity of 'Strange' which was a show on the BBC in 2003 or so, but which Showtime here in the US is now airing, and making me desperately want on DVD.

10. Carnivale

11. DEADWOOD: The best western based TV on TV ever. If you don't mind some swearing this is some of the best TV I have seen in a long time! (on HBO still)

12. Entourage (on HBO)

13. Nip/Tuck (currently on FX)

14. American Gothic (on DVD)

15. Twin Peaks (on DVD)

16: LOST! (currently on ABC)

17: Veronica Mars! (currently on UPN, if you have UPN)

18. Supernatural (currently on the WB)

19. Invasion (on ABC)

20. Grey's Anatomy (on ABC)

As you can see, I like a lot of different kinds of TV. If you can rent any of the above from Netflix or similar go for it, it's worth it, and you might just find something that's still on the air!
