"4. The X Files (up to season 5, I didn't like the rest)"

It's quite interesting that lots of people make a point of mentioning that they only liked X-Files up to a point. Out of all the above posts I only noticed one person who mentioned any dip in quality in Buffy - does everyone love Joss too much? While I didn't catch X-Files first time round, I have since bought and watched nine seasons and, for me at least, the slide in quality is far less severe than that of Buffy. Don't get me wrong, if Buffy Seasons 6 and 7 had to be awful in order for us to get Firefly then that's a price I'm willing to pay Sorry, that was kind of a random and somewhat pointless rant.

More on topic:

1. Angel (I've managed to almost completely repress Season 4)
2. Buffy (ditto Seasons 6, 7 and most of 5)
3. Firefly (only makes number 3 because it doesn't have enough episodes to be comparable to Buffy/Angel)
4. Seinfeld
5. X-Files

I see no one has mentioned the brilliant and equally mistreated Miracles, although perhaps it's hard to consider that a favourite given there are so few episodes. Another one of mine would be the early days of Sliders but only if we can forget the later years ever existed

1. Angel - I am obsessed with this show! Ihe only reason I watched Buffy early on is because of Angel. He was the cool, mysterious, silent guy. When I heard he was getting his own show I almost died of ecitment. I love the whole cast of Angel and the show has outdone Buffy almost every year since it has been out. I was hoping it would make it to season 6 but 5 years is still good when you consider Firefly ended after a mear 14 episodes.

2. Firefly - I only just recently got into this after buying the DVD last week (it was either this or S.W.A.T. and I'm glad I picked Firefly). The main reason I like the show is because I love all the characters. Especially Kaylee cause she is soooooo cute! Storytelling is some of the best Joss has ever done and I'm so happy I'll be seeing the movie soon.

3. Red Dwarf - The best show to come out of England! End of discussion. The most funny show I have ever scene and a great cast of characters. Just wish they would hurry up with the damn movie (been waiting 3 years for it).

4. Black Books - VERY FUNNY. This british comedy puts Friends to shame. Seriously one of the best comedies to come out of England.

5. Futurama - Much better than The Simpsions in every aspect. Why do so many of my favourite shows get cancelled? Its a crime that this series is dead and I would rather see every copy of The Simpsions burnt if it meant this could come back.

I LOVE KAYLEE!!!

arg, I can't believe I forgot Band of Brothers. That was an awesome miniseries! I hope that Hanks and Spielberg get working on the miniseries about the Pacific Theater they've been talking about.

Honorable Mentions (just cuz others have done it): Due South, Law & Order: SVU, Farscape (first 2.5 seasons), and Combat.

Had to pick six, and curious coincidence, five of them were cancelled -- three quite abruptly. Maybe I'm a jinx . . . .

It's too hard to put these in any particular order, so I'll just take a stab at it:

1. Invisible Man - wonderful show, very fun to watch. Had some serious problems first half of the second season, but they were worked out and it ended with a bang. Firefly gives me hope that we may be seeing more of it.

2. Firefly - has everything I love in a show, wonderful characters, an appealing cast, AWESOME score and a very unique 'verse'. Along with these, I have to say I'm thankful this was on Fox and not SciFi Channel - it would have fared MUCH worse! And it gives me hope that there IS life after cancellation for a good show.

3. 24 - has me on the edge of my seat. And I love the flawed characters.

4. Miami Vice - had its ups and downs, and the fifth (ahd last) season was just awful, but it's still the show that defined the 80's.

5. Quantum Leap - Another show that had an awful fifth season, but when it was good, it was VERY good.

6. X Files - I could have lived without the last season, even though Robert Patrick was WONDERFUL! I loved the freaked-out look on his face when he encountered the weirdness that is X Files.

7. Red Dwarf - absolutely, hands down the FUNNIEST tv show ever aired!!! I laughed so hard I'd be tongue tied.

Ok, I never DID know when to quit.

I know I'm missing something, but the question WAS pick 5.
