Firefly affected me so profoundly that it has cast a long black shadow over any other show trying to rise up around it. Now Angel has just finished over here and England are out of Euro 2004 I don't think my TV will be seeing much action for a while.

Apart from the Simpsons, Scrubs and reruns of Futurama obviously.

Well, I have to say that apart from Joan of Arcadia which is showing on living TV over here in the UK ther's not much else on except the blooming footie and tennis, then theres cricket and oh yeah the olympics start soon. So, Ive got to wait a couple of months b4 Stargate and Atlantis go out over here. In the meantime the goggle box is off - not much of a sports fan me.

*Wonderfalls is definately my No2 show and after seeing episode 10, may almost be on par with Firefly.
"Lick the light switch"

*Two shows I used to watch were Scrubs and 24, both have jumped the shark.

*I just got season 1 of Arrested Development and I'd say it's the best comedy out of the USA in years.

*Black Books from the UK (not sure which channel)

*Crank Yankers (which in Australia shows on SBS but I have no idea in the US)

Does anyone know if that's it for Wonderfalls or is there any chance it might be picked up by another channel?

Thirteen episodes were produced, only four aired in the US. But a DVD set is supposed to come out on December 7, so it might depend on how that sells.

I consider myself lucky for I had never had any inclination to watch Buffy or Angel. After Firefly was cancelled I was craving something Joss so I swallowed my pride and borrowed all seasons of Buffy and first 2 seasons of Angel from a mate. Since then I have been watching approx 5 eps a day and am loving both shows (who knew..)

P.S. how many seasons of Angel are there?

There's about 5 seasons of Angel I believe and 7 for Buffy :)

I still watch The Simpsons, but the writing has really gone downhill. I've been repeat watching all three seasons of Family Guy which I think is hilarious, and I love Scrubs.

I'm also quite amused to see shows like Monarch of the Glen, Spooks and Jonathan Creek are popular outside of Britain. Quick Buffy link : ASH will be playing a millionnaire in the next series of Monarch of the Glenn.

I've been watching Six Feet Under and TRYING to watch Joan of Arcadia, but Living TV are showing one epsiode every weeknight and I've missed loads of them now. Damn schedulers!

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

A few shows of latter day greatness: Dead Zone, Deadwood, and Dead Like Me... notice the "dead"-themed nomenclature...

Carnivale is good and I'm looking forward to Galactica... and South Park is always a hoot...

Guilty pleasures include Alias, Stargate, Charmed, and Enterprise... they're about as mindless as most reality shows, but a lot more fun... and I don't feel like taking a shower after watching...

Recently gone but not forgotten include Wonderfalls, Odyssey 5, Jerimiah (still some rumours about a possible resurrection, though), and Angel (of course)...

Other than that, the Iron Chef rules!

Much work remains to be done before we can announce our total failure to make any progress...
