b5 was almost at the top of my list as well. At the top, however was Twin Peaks - I can't believe no one mentioned this one (Am I too old??!!).

Well the good news is, Sunday Night Football will magically re-appear for you then, because next season when Monday Night football moves to ESPN, Sunday Night Football will move from ESPN to NBC.

Doctor Who. You can tell a show is in your favorites list when you can sum up things just by saying "that was very season 14".

Eh. It is not the same. :( I always liked the "marquee" Monday night matchup thing. Perhaps Sunday night is kind of like that too, but it is still not quite the same. Oh well. "Situation is always... fluid", right?

For me it has to be the Prisoner. It was mind bending. It was like the four dimensional shadow play version of a show made in an eleven dimensional universe. And I wasn't even stoned when I watched it!

As someone who didn't give a fig about the old one, the new Battlestar Galactica is just awesome. I love it.

Cool - there's lots of different shows here!
I've just discovered the 4400 - it's actually really good. It also reminded me a bit of Taken - an amazing show (though it's more of a series of TV films - I don't get it really but it's great!)

But, to echo Zoot.....
DARK ANGEL DARK ANGEL DARK ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still a DA FLF

I would have to agree with your assessment of Babylon 5. I myself was also entirely obsessed with it, and to this day I refuse to give up my VHS of what episodes I did capture. I need to start collecting the DVDs.

I found some of my own favorites in the rest of your list and would add Quantum Leap.

Is anyone else saddened by the fact that a lot of the series we loved were cut off in their early years?

My very first TV obsession was Man From Atlantis because I was into swimming and Atlantis, and Patrick was my first unreachable crush.

I also enjoyed Quantum Leap but it was a show I could dip in and out of unlike "Babylon 5" with its' arc and story plotting, missing an episode was like an amputation without anaesthetic.

As for the practice of shows getting cancelled before they could properly find their feet the worst offender seems to have been Fox. I still lament the loss of:

Strange Luck
Crusade
American Gothic
Harsh Realm
The Visitor
Space: Above and Beyond

to mention but a few. I had to chuckle at your crush on Patrick Duffy of Dallas fame and his role in Man From Atlantis, I always thought he swam like a Mermaid (or should that be Merman?). My earliest crush like that was on James Drury from "The Virginian". Sigh.
