I've only seen two episodes of the lone gunmen, but I liked th idea of an X-files spin-off

I'm known as DEATH eVADER on 5 forums, but I think DaisyCutter sounds more devastating. I'm also known as The Jackel, but thats another story altogether.

I can't tell you how happy I am that so many of you guys remember Space: Above and Beyond. The first few episodes were rough but once that show hit its stride it was some of the best sci-fi I had ever seen on tv (in my opinion). Of cource SAAB was a show that Fox royally screwed which to this day doesn't make any sense since they were paying 1 million an episode. And they set it up to fail. Ill never understand that.
When Serenity got greenlighted that was almost a vindication no only for Firefly and its fans but for SAAB as well. At least to me it did.
As for other shows: John Doe, Brisco County Jr and Nowhere Man(Where are the Negatives, Tom?).
Gotta hand it to fox. They greenlight good shows. Now if they just gave em a chance.....

LOL, SAAB. For a minute there I thought you got mixed up with the Car/Aircraft manufacturer

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Its strange, I don't normally like westerns but two of my favorite t.v. shows ever are half western.

Sky TV was taken away from me, so I never knew what happened at the end of Space: A&B. So if somebody could gives us a hint it would help.
Dark Skies was a pretty descent show as well, and I'm pretty sure that appeared for only one season, but I think that was deliberate

Grenade Ping Pong is pointless as both players loose, unless the grenade is whacked into the crowd, in which case its a lawsuit

I really wanted to watch Prison Break, it looked interesting, but I was afraid they'd cancel it, so I never started to watch it. Now it's too late for me to get into it. Same with 24.
From what I've seen of Prison Break, it's quite good but dark, as you might imagine. The great thing about 24 is each season is a pretty self-contained story. I didn't start watching it until half way through season 2 and I really didn't have a problem picking up the pieces. The last season I LOVED. I'll be there in January.
Anyway, my list would include all previous mentions:
God, The Devil and Bob
Cupid
Brimstone
But if I could pick just one, it would be AMERICAN GOTHIC. OMG Fantastic!

"Appears they've cancelled the show and we're still here. What does that make us?"
"Big damn junkies, Sir!"
"Ain't we just."

Earth 2 ... loved it! I still break out my VHS copies from the original broadcasts from time to time to watch again.

Not that is much matters now, but the very next best thing to Firefly is "Red Dwarf". It's a BBC show that always seemed to be (1) underfunded, and (2) teetering on the edge of cancellation.
It triumphed over all the aforementioned adversity and ranks up there as the only show I love more than Firefly.
Infintely clever.
Damn you Britain! I narrowly escaped Monty Python and Douglas Adams, only to get sucked in by Red Dwarf.
A plague and pox on all your peoples. (which is a wish I will forego if you give me just one more season of Red Doorf ~ including Rimmer).

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

Space Above and Beyond is going to be released on DVD in the US very soon (or might have already been released) - check www.tvshowsondvd.com for details
As for Dark Skies, it soooo wasn't supposed to last one season. It had a five year arc, but was cancelled after only one, meaning that a lot of it was unresolved. There was talk about continuing the story through novels and comics but it never came about... shame really, considering I really loved the series
