There are a few but none to match Firefly. I've never watched a show so many times.

1. The wire (HBO) unsurpassed drama. Best cop show out there.

2. Six feet under

3. Daily show. Stewart should have Conan's job. I laugh out loud every time

4. West wing. Nobody else seems to have this on their list.

5. I can't lie. I still have to check out Enterprise regularly but it just seems so limp since FF.

I was watching Peacemakers but they cancelled it.

I try to catch Monk.

Other than that I bounce around a lot. Watch a lot of History Channel and Old Movies (AMC and Turner). End up watching a lot of American Chopper but it's starting to get old.

I love Junkyard Wars the original version. Mega Junkyard Wars not so much.

I guess the one I feel guilty about is Most Extreme Challenge. That show is complete trash but, it's too funny.

I dig on Smallvile. Superman 90210, never met a teen so set on screwing himself as Clark Kent, and Lex Luthor is indeed, the Devil, but a cool devil, I'd sell my soul.

And speaking of bald men, Conquest on the History Channel... If Peter Woodward were a woman.. she'd still kick my butt.

Old Dark Shadows on Sci Fi. Jonathan Frid still kicks ass.

Now if only I could find Hanna Barbera's Godzilla and Laffalympics, my life will never be empty...
and maybe the Crow TV series, if I'd not be lynched wgholesale for it.

You look better in red.

Other favorite shows of recent years:

Alias
West Wing
Keen Eddie
Firefly

Those are pretty much the only ones I'll drop just about anything to catch an episode of.

I, however, have been hooked on JC's acting ever since I saw him in "Reanimator". Come on, people! I can't be the only one who saw that piece of schlock cinema!



You are not. But many of us who have even bought the DVDs of it and the sequels, well, its not something to admit in polite company

This is pretty much the only new sci fi I watch and my comments.

Stargate - I never liked it at first, mcgyver really didnt gel with me so i was prejudiced against Richard Dean Anderson but i forced myself to watch a few episodes because i couldnt get a sci fi fix anywhere else and I found it to have good special effects and genuine laughs and have since watched all of them.

Enterprise - I have all TNG, DS9, and Voyager eps and consider myself a Trekkie so I have to watch it, some episodes are ok. Since Firefly I think of myself more as a browncoat than Trekkie.

Andromeda - Showed a lot of potential at first but has gone downhill significantly since Kevin Sorbo took control. Now I find it a painful show with disjointed, silly storylines and corny acting.

BRING BACK FIREFLY!!

Right here. Used to be my favorite show, too, until Aaron Sorkin left. Run a pretty big community for it, still.

Other than West Wing, I watch Gilmore Girls, Angel, Buffy reruns, Queer as Folk, and... that's all, really.

Most of the shows I love have been cancelled. To name a few: Cupid, Relativity, My So-Called Life, Sports Night, Firefly, Once and Again, Hercules and Xena. I pretty much boycott Fox and ABC for that.

Ummm...yea, I do this as well. My sister (who is 20 mind you) got me hooked on this crappy, poorly acted, canadian teen drama called "Degrassi". This show is nuts. Just about any problem that ever happened to a teenager is addressed, but in an extremely lame way. It kicks ass.
