Who said Scrubs? The Office? Sports Night?
Seconded!!! Good god I don't think anyone else watched the amazing show that was Sports Night.
I'll also recommend watching Kingdom Hospital, by Stephen King. Also, a few cartoons that I enjoyed, Undergrads and Clone High

Kim Possible on the Disney Channel has always been good. Unfortunately, how much longer remains to be seen since Disney is pulling the plug on it after just 65 episodes.
I urge anyone that's interested in saving this show to check out the following sites:

I hope that if anyone can understand what we're trying to accomplish, it's the folks here, the Browncoats. And please, I am not here to troll anyone. I have seen every episode of Firefly and have seen Serenity and enjoyed them immensely. Just so you know.

Have you ever watched ROSWELL? There are 2 seasons available.
What's wrong with FOX? I can't believe they cancelled Firefly! This show ROCKS!
FOX: Get a clue! People like shows like Firefly and hate crap like Family Guy!

The one and only, (well, four and only)
Blackadder
A television show so clever it could travel to Oxford and be named Dean of clever television shows.

I cannot think of anything better. So I would recommend DVD's (There is so little worth watching on the tube anymore unless I put it there)
But near equal footing.
CSI .. Not CSI ______ Just CSI.
Babylon 5 Definatlat Seasons 2-4 They tell a great story. (Back to Back Hugo's go a long way to tll you that it has some good Sci-Fi attached to it.
South Park. Nasty Evil Fun. What is not to love.
Classic Films
Casablanca
Day the Earth Stood Still
The Thing: From Another World (Somethingabout a nice popcorn monster movie )
Them (Giant Ants they do make a picnic memorable)
In short TV is dying it is better to let it shuffle off stange and die.Except maybe House but that is because they are dealing with a honest man who gives his opinion with a dose of acid to keep folks honest.
BWT what area would we list Tim's new series "The Inside"
It is just not working for me and I am likely to drop it.

You don't seem to have mentioned Dark Angel - buy it now and you'll be totally hooked by the weekend!! Only thing I've seen to rival Firefly - almost better than Buffy I'd say ....
Also on different note why not try non-sci-fi - anything by Aaron Sorkin is good: West Wing and Sports Night ...

Sports Night.
And no, you do not need to be a sports fan to enjoy it, just as many who enjoy Firefly were not normally SF fans.

I totally agree - I avoided Sports Night for years becuase although I LOVE Aaron Sorkin, I hate sports. Only to discover that I'd missed out on absolute genius for years - darnit!!

I believe there was three seasons of Roswell. Never really got into it that much, it felt like it was trying to be Buffy, but it was so much more... serious...
And yes, people do love Firefly, but how you can castigate Family Guy I have no idea. It is superb. And don't forget, it was the incredible sales from the Family Guy DVDs that made resurrecting the show a reality. That was something Firefly didn't manage to do (although a movie is still pretty damn impressive).
