If we're only allowed one more show, I'm gonna have to go with Arrested Development. Anyone who hasn't seen it MUST check this show out, it's clever, extremely funny and not like any other sit-com you've ever seen.
And if you have seen it, but didn't like it, then try again. I can appreciate that some might not "get it" at first. But all the hype for this show is fully deserved and if you're missing it, you're missing out.

Quote:... how... how can you exist...? Not going for the meanness thing here, it's just that those two shows, in my mind, are so... so not anywhere near one another. I guess the extreme diversity of this fandom fascinates me.

Anyway, to Chrisisall's question: yeah, I can't pick one. Would it count if I put all the names into one long title? Such as: BattlestarHouseLostFarscapeGalactica.

It's really hard to pick a single favorite from my top three fave shows, but if I had to, I'd say...
Angel gets first place. No insult to Firefly, but I was more emotionally invested in Angel than any other show I've seen. I luvs the darkness! 
Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer tie for second place. Firefly was the first Joss show I ever saw, but BtVS had enough time to spread its wings and really be great. So, they're neck and neck at number two.
Don't even make me try to pick a number three!

Why, there can be only one:
C A R V I V A L E
My take on it: "It's not a show, it's a DRUG."
Footnote to Post, HBO, the biggest drug-dealer on television today, has got millions strung out on Carivale, then drops them flat.
Is this move stupid? Was it made buy NETWORK EXECUTIVES who care more about MONEY than INTEGRITY or, Gawd Forbid....ART?
You bet is was!
Those GORRAM BASTARDS!!! "Oh, it was too expensive... Oh, it "never found it's audience...Oh, gosh, the fans have sent us 50,000 emails every weekend complaining and "threatening us" and Oh! Oh! Isnt' ROME GREAT???
Actually it is, but you see, there's one thing that's really wrong with it: IT AIN'T CARNIVALE!!!!
My my, I fell MUCH better now.
It wouldn't be so bad if we Carnivale Junkies had any hope of finding someone else to conitnue the story.
HBO owns every single right to Carnivale and refuses to sell it to anyone else.
At the close of Season two, they were only at the end of the first "book" that Daniel Knauf wrote... there are two more whole volumes of story to be told. Knauf can't even sell the "book" as a book. HBO owns it hook line and sinker.
HBO + FOX, we HATES them....
YEAH SERENITY!!!! i'M SO GLAD SHE'S FLYING AGAIN!!!!
WHOO 0- W O O O W O O !!!
Okay, I'm done now.
I promise.

Besides Buffy, it'd be a three way tie between Simpsons, Inuyasha, and Futurama. I really like animated shows apparently.
I give to you the Seeker of Serenity, the Valkyrie Warrior, the Gourmet Cook and the Truth Scoper.

Prior to Firefly, I would have said X-Files is my all-time favorite, then Buffy, in spite of the faltering quality toward the end of both series.
I flirted with dropping into the abyss of internet fandom when I first fell in love with XF (in season THREE - note to stupid stupid Fox - and, with no DVDs then, had to rely on re-runs and friend's tapes to catch up), but ultimately resisted since I didn't have the kind of access back then to fully indulge. Ironically, it's easier to be a FF junkie because of it's limited run.

B5 hands down. Like Firefly it was about something, had interleaved story arcs and great characters.
