I'm just watching the Firefly DVD. Not interested in any other Sci-Fi shows at the moment

Where I am there's not a lot of options for new sci-fi. We do have a sci-fi/fantasy/horror channel called Space but it's mostly syndicated stuff & re-runs unless they're showing a made-for-tv movie or a mini-series.

The only new sci-fi show I watch is Enterprise and I almost stopped watching it until they started this darker story line and I'll watch Angel too.

I watch Stargate SG-1 & Farscape when I get the chance and I own Seasons 1-3 (soon 4) of Babylon 5 and of course Firefly. Interestingly enough they've been playing Firefly on Space including the previously unaired episodes.

I'll also pretty much watch any sci-fi, fantasy or horror movie I can get my hands on.

Yeah, if not for Space we would have a real dearth of Sci-Fi up here .. not much though right now really...

What Tass says is unfortunately very true.

Here is the link to the Space section on Firefly though. At least it shows that not all networks have given up on it.

Wish they had more money so they could have pulled in the show.. *sigh*

I don't watch tv :(
Here in Italy it's a desert!
I've dvd:
Dark Angel
Red dwarf
Cowboy bebop
That's all that we have.
Maybe they will air BTVS in the late spring, just after I'll receive the UK box set :)))
Obviously no sign of Jack 2.0 or the new Battlestar galactica, or stargate. Nothing.

Well, I don't watch too much TV as I'm pretty picky in what I watch. The last drama series I've been full-heartedly attatched to was Miracles, which you all know was cancelled prematurely by ABC. Be sure to check out MiraclesHQ ( www.miracleshq.com) for more info on the show and the campaign to save it.

Other than that, I also liked Jake 2.0 (which also go the axe... why does this always happen to me!?) and I was also a X-Files fan, though I haven't bought any of the DVD sets. All of my television interests are sort of focused to save Miracles at the moment... =P

One episode of Stargate did make me say WTF though. They fly a fighter to destroy a new weapon on a spaceship by blowing up it's exhaust vent. I was just waiting for O'neal to joke about The Force being with him.

Its one of the many running jokes on Stargate that O'Niell has never actually seen Star Wars. He makes passing references to it---"My name's not Kirk. Its Skywalker."---"I thought we were going with Red Leader on this one?"---but he never gets really clever SW lines.

In a season 5 episode, Jack and Teal'c show up at Sam's house with Star Wars, and we learn that Jack's never seen it----and its one of Teal'c's favorite movies.

Anyway, Stargate is the current "big thing". Its best to see it from the beginning, in order----seeing it piecemeal, you will probably understand the basic plot, but you miss out on scores of running jokes.

Also, I probably said this above, but the best new show of this season is unquestionably Joan of Arcadia. I tried Jake 2.0 and Tru Calling, and niether of them was as good as Joan.

When a was younger, like 13-16 yrs old, I loved anything science fiction. I use to love Space Above and Beyond. Lately though, like in the past four years or so I have moved away from science fiction, because often in science fiction it becomes more about the story than the characters. I find shows like Earth Final Conflict and Andromeda a little corny (sorry to all their fans, don't mean to offend, just my own personal opinion). To me, Firefly is one of those extremely rare shows in science fiction that anyone can enjoy whether they like sci-fi or not.
By the way, if anyone was looking to buy a dvd set anytime soon I highly recommend Alias. Alias is another example of great tv. To me it is right up there with Firefly.
Also, need honest opinions here, should I go ahead buy the first season of 24 on dvd?

I'm just now seeing that for the first time. I got tired of hearing about this show I'd never seen, so I downloaded the entire first season off Bittorrent. Its good. Not brilliant, but definately good.

Andromeda is more than "a little" corny. Its downright bad.

EFC....well, seasons 2-4 qualify as "a little corny". Season 1 is actually quite solid, and season 5 is unwatchable.

Unless you've got something against arc-intensive shows, then definately yes. 24 is a great show, and season 1 is the best its done----especially the first 13 episodes.
