Firefly is my #1, followed by Due South, with a couple of others really close up on it. But I loved Due South especially the first season. :)

I've never heard of Spaced or Dead Like Me. Can someone tell me where I might be able to watch them??
I give to you the Seeker of Serenity, the Valkyrie Warrior, the Gourmet Cook and the Truth Scoper.

1a) Firefly
1b) Buffy
Everything else doesn't really matter. Those two were far and away the best two shows on TV. Never liked Angel though.

After Firefly, I've gotta go with the Clerks animated series. I think it's the only show in history that got the shaft harder than Firefly.
Not only did ABC push Clerks' debut from Spring 2000 to Summer 2000, but they premiered it on the same night as the first Survivor and the NBA Finals.
Only 6 episodes were made (only 2 ever aired), and it's quite possibly the single funniest thing ever.
You just gotta love a show that will rip off Bad News Bears, Last Starfighter, and Temple of Doom, and make it all the same plot.
But as far as TV that's still ON TV, I'll say South Park. Call me juvenile, but I've been a South Park fan since day 1.

Hey b'day girl!
Dead Like Me is a cancelled 2 season show that was on a US cable network. You can order it, but that's money. Can you something like Netflix in the far frozen northland of queens? It's well worth a little bother.
I am very concerned about all this talk of regions 1-4! How is this messing with the sleepwalkers and zoot-suited?
There should be no unalterable -choices- to be made regarding cultcha! What are these powers thinking?
Is this a Brit thang?
Shiny Trees! Yavanna made Shiny Trees!

Picket fences... law & order (original) also
but this season it's a fight between Medium, House, or Commander in Chief (Gina Davis so hot!)

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

Otherwise It'll have to be Northern Exposure
"Junkyard Wars" in the USA. I really liked that show.

Can't Take My Gorram Sky
Ooh--why didn't I remember that one. I'm sad, because my video store only has a few episodes (it wasn't tragically cancelled, I hope?!).

Nor I. I don't really understand its popularity (other than getting to see Buffy characters again).

Early: Where'd she go?
Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's NOT incorporeally possessing a spaceship, don't look at me --

Funny how the thread asks for only one 2nd favorite, but almost everyone responds with a list. ;)
Second favorite is really tough to choose though...
While I do really love Joss's other shows, I think I'd have to go with Farscape - which I'm buying as the starburst edition dvds come out and seeing for the first time. I'm partway through season 2 and loving every minute.
Although if I was to include all types of shows, rather than just hour-long story type shows, I'm also a huge MSTie. (That's Mystery Science Theater 3000 for those not in the know.) Nothing has ever made me laugh harder. If only the DVD sets weren't so ruttin' expensive. :( If only this show was still on reruns somewhere.
Umm... if I were to make a list (looks like I did too... lol) it would also include Babylon 5 and Wonderfalls and Buffy and Angel.
Keep flying

Doctor Who
A fixture of my childhood, my passion for it was reignited by the recent new series.
Funny thing though; Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction show ever, Firefly only ran for one season, and the latter is my favourite!
Honourable mentions also go to Angel, Buffy, Dark angel, new Battlestar Galactica and Spooks.
