Hmm.. Bar Firefly..
Well after Firefly comes a show I bet nobody here has ever even heard of. Heck I shouldn't even have heard of it being only 25yrs old.
Land of the Giants is still my all time favorite show. Sure the FX aren't up to today's standards but they were top of the line at the time. If you can watch a Godzilla movie for what it is you should be able to watch LotG and enjoy it too.

Obviously, being british, and growing up with this show, I love Doctor Who. I can remember being so scared by it as a little kid that I had to hide behind the sofa at the scary bits & I used to get my Mum or Dad or brother to watch it with me, it was SO SCARY!!!! The new doctor is excellent!!!! Yea!!!!
Along a Western theme (Firefly / Serenity being a scific western), I have the R1 DVD box set of "Into The West" by Spielberg. Being a Western & US History buff I LOVE this show. And being by Spielberg it is an expertly crafted piece of tv entertainment. I defy you not to be a soggy, weepy mess by the end!!!!
I also adore Without a Trace and the British equivalent, Waking the Dead. And I am a diehard fan of E.R. (I watch it with subtitles so I can decifer the US medical Jargon - you do pronounce words in a different way from us Brits!!!!)
I loved Friends, and the British comedy Coupling. And of course, Monty Python is Hi-larious!!!
But I think my all time favourite sitcom is The Good Life. It was made here in Britain in the 1970's. If you can get a hold of it, I heartily recommend it. If you're British, it is repeated so often on BBC, you'll know it already!!!

My favorite shows, barring Firefly? It's a toss up among a few. All seasons of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek (all of them), Farscape, and Battlestar Galactica. Of course, I have many more, but they are almost too numerous to mention here.

Buffy
Angel
Twilight Zone (original series)
Alfred Hitchcock Presents (original series)
IMO Buffy is the best TV series of all time. The funny thing is I didn't watch Buffy or Angel until I was a fan of Firefly.

Im almsot scared to say Lost. I think only 5 people have listed it. Im surprised actually, as the first season at least really created some great Characters. This is what initially drew me to Firefly. Then again I am a Lostie, and Ill stick by it as much as Ill stick by Firefly/Serenity.
I also loved Carnivale...another show that was given the short leash and wasn't able to finish, which was sad. I wish they would bring down the almsot 100 price tag on the DVD set, but then again it was HBO!

Like EGS, I am totally hooked into Lost and have developed tons of theories how the hell that island came to be. Besides Lost, I really enjoyed the X-files and the show that comes after Lost, Invasion. Maybe its because I live in FL. Hmmmm.
Jayne: Are you saying River's a witch?
Wash: Yes, Jayne, she's a witch. She's had congress with the Beast.
Jayne: She's in Congress?
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious!

Many of these are from years ago--don't watch mutch TV besides the Discovery Channel, the History Channel and HGTV--lol. I prefer movies & reading books.
*G-Force!--(now it's Gatchaman)--anime from my younger years.
*Ren&Stimpy--amusingly absurd
*Land of the Lost--again, from childhood
*Battlestar Gallactica--the old! (haven't seen the new)
*Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends--never fails to crack me up.
*Spongebob--I just love Gary's "meow"--absurd
*Saturday Night Live
*Adult Swim's various adult cartoons
*24
*S-Cryed
*Tales from the Crypt
*The Twilight Zone
Hmmm...perhaps I need to grow up--"Nah"! lol
