We've seen the endless lists; boil it down- 2nd favourite to FF only!

And to those of you for whom FF is not their favourite...YOU SUCK!!! (just kidding! everyone's so sensitive, I swear)

If FF's not your fav, tell us what is, and if FF is your second or not.

ME: Firefly's my total favourite, with Dark Angel a fairly close second. Both series share a writer and a director and more than a little in common with Blade Runner, my favourite film until Serenity came out.

Next please?

I liked Dark Angel but I think my next favorite series (after FF) is Babylon 5. As one of the first sci-fi with a defined story arc, it also gave me the sense that when I turned off the TV, the universe and characters still lived somewhere. The acting was not on par with FF or even Dark Angel but the plot/story had scope and vision. Much like FF.

Firefly is my favorite, and ST: Enterprise is second.

Oh, man! F Troop really goes back aways!

I used to know the theme song by heart when I was in 4th or 5th grade.

Say, is there a DVD out there, do you suppose?

Are we talking current shows ? If so I don't think I have one :? Maybe a thing here in the UK called SCRAPHEAP CHALLENGE if that counts. But it's not a drama or nothing... just peeps be building things outa junk and challenging each other with it....

Otherwise It'll have to be Northern Exposure

I used to joke that if it didn't have martial arts, OR it wasn't set in space, I wouldn't like it. Maybe Joss heard me....

Northern Exposure is a fine 2nd choice, Somnambulist, we own the first season on dvd. Similar love poured into the writing of the characters. You is definitly eclectic, all right.

Firefly first, obviously. It replaced my old first choice, Buffy, which I would say is my second. I still love that show with all my heart.

Mal: Define interesting.

I'd have to go with Buffy as well - with Angel tying...

Outside of the Joss 'verse -

Who's Line Is It Anyways...just for something different!!! What can I say - love both well-written shows - and shows that aren't written at all! It's that mediocre crap I can't take.
