OOOOOHHH!!! Can I play?
Here are the shows that I had to watch. First, don't hate me, but I never saw Firefly on TV. Blame FOX, cuz thanks to them I can't put them on this list. Now, I watch Firefly on DVD over and over again and show it to my friends, yadda, yadda.
So, I am listing the shows that I centered my life around to see when they were on TV -- mainly before my twins were born in 1996.
As far as memory will allow they are:
- DS9 -- the best black father/son relationship on TV, ever -- oh yeah, good SF, too.
- Nowhere Man (for a brief, but fantastic season)
- Chef (Britcom)
- Red Dwarf
- Third Rock from the Sun -- wacky fun!
- X-Files
- Simpsons -- even when they suck there is usually a moment that requires me to howl, pointing weakly at the screen with tears in my eyes.
Shows that I didn't break my back to see, but really enjoyed include several, but I will mention Frasier and Just Shoot Me. Anyone who saw the ep of Frasier where he was seduced by Patrick Stewart knows what I'm talking about.
Also, I wasn't in love with Family Guy, but I could watch that baby 24/7. Could we do that? A channel dedicated to crazy megalomaniac baby? You could just drop in and check out the madness, then go on to your must-watch shows, which would all be airing on XOF -- the anti-FOX channel.
As a kid, my brother and I would do extra chores to get to go with my dad to see ST:TOS on color TV at his friend's house. We didn't get color until after it was off the air.
And I am a sucker for All My Children and One Life to Live. Thems my soaps and I'm too old to be ashamed.
I'll shut up now.

No particular order:
Firefly
Buffy
Twin Peaks
Push, Nevada (if a show only had six episodes, does it still count as a series?)
Doctor Who
Carnivale, MI-5/Spooks, Red Dwarf, and Whose Line are close behind all those, though... it's just so difficult to narrow it down...
EDIT: John Doe. Did anyone watch that? Also, Highlander the series. Sometimes, I think the mythos made a better tv show than film...

1 Firefly
2 Futurama
3 The Office
4 Still Game
5 Father Ted

5.Red Dwarf (Smeg is just as fun to say as Gorram)
4.Whose Line is it Anyway? (cracks me up)
3.Titus (another casualty of Fox)
2.The Simpsons (classic)
and the Number One....though some of you may lynch me for it... is a tie! Between Firefly and Cowboy Bebop.
Sorry, as awesome as Firefly is, Bebop is just too gorram cool (and the music for it is unquestionably the best I have ever heard from a TV show). If I were to list shows I miss the most, Bebop would without a doubt be numero uno. Why? Cauz although Firefly is gone, it's still flying. It will be coming back. So that's not so bad. Bebop on the other hand is not. It's over, gone, finito, dead. That's all there is to it. Just my opinion.
Wu de tyen! How I miss that show.
Bebop. That old tin goddess, with the leaky shower and the rust and the empty fridge and that damned ugly yellow couch…
(wanders off to go watch some Bebop sessions while hoping for a miracle of more in the future)

Hmmm ...
1. Firefly
2. Dune (miniseries)
3. Corner Gas (Canadian 1/2 hr sitcom)
4. X-Files (up to when Scully got kidnapped)
5. Quantum Leap
I don't much care for watching TV, what with all the commercials, pre-emptions for crap like sporting events or special editions of The Bachelor, or those endless 'news updates' that really don't tell you anything more than the actual newscast tells.
DVD, how I love thee! 
Cheers,
Annik

I didn't get to see a full episode of Firefly when it was on either. I was kinda geographically challenged in relation to places where TV viewing was possible.
Sound the trumpets!
5) Battlestar Galactica : Both in the original versions and the new one which is better than I was expecting it to be.
4) Father Ted : This show was just damn good, although it makes me sad how short the run was. The actor playing Father Ted dying makes me feel worse, but accounts for the short run.
3) Navy NCIS : Which is a fairly redundant title, it should just be NCIS but the show's good enough that I can forgive a little redundency, I say forgive a little redundency. 
2) Blackadder : Now I know it was techincally 4 series but I'm lumping it all together because I can. If someone put thumb screws to me I'd have to sub-rate them in best to still damn good but not best order thusly: Blackadder II, Blackadder Goes Fourth, Blackadder the Third and The Black Adder.
1) Firefly : Well duh!
Honorable mention to: Twin Peaks, The Simpsons, Deadwood, Combat!, Space: Above and Beyond, Tour of Duty and Kolchek the Nightstalker
Gleeful mention to: Just about any show from the '70s that I find now and then just because they make me grin. Barney Miller, Starsky and Hutch, Welcome Back Kotter, Buck Rogers, Dukes of Hazzard, you name it. I purr like a kitten (which is hard because I'm a dog person) if you put on some of my childhood memories and make me popcorn. They say the way to a man's heart is his stomach, well not mine the way to mine is through my inner child. Not as easy as it sounds though because he's a real hwoon dahn too.
EDIT! Took my memory enhancing pills so adding in a couple I forgot. Because I can do that.
