Oh my, I don't know if I can pick just one.
Shows I bothered to actually buy DVD's for (besides Firefly):
Stargate:SG1 (only through season 4 don't know how they still have anything left and they just got renewed again)
Northern Exposure (all three so far)
Horatio Hornblower
Nero Wolfe (Tim Hutton and Maury Chaykin)
Richard Sharpe series
Monty Python
Arrested Development
Of that group it would probably be the early Stargate stuff, though Sharpe would be right there as well. The only show currently running that I care a whit about would be NUMB3RS.

Futurama: a sci-fi comedy cartoon for adults with far-reaching story arcs, and great writing.
Firefly is #1! :D

Well, of course FF is number one, with Buffy and Angel coming in second and third (tying for place actually), but outside of the Jossverse I'd have to say...
Profiler, Friends, Scrubs, Dark Angel, The Pretender, Tru Calling, American Gothic.
Sorry, can never stop at just one.
You'll notice that only one of them is still running: Scrubs. The rest of current tv sucks so much donkey balls the RSPCA is launching an investigation as we speak.

He he! Just saw the title of this thread and thought – that’s gonna be CIA and he’s gonna say FF followed by DA – and what a coincidence – that’s exactly what it is!!!
Thinking about it, I think my liking for shows is inextricably connected to my preference for the underdog – hence I tend to like shows that were fairly short lived and I feel got cut off in their prime … I am therefore tempted to say Wonderfalls is number two, but if I’m totally honest Wonderfalls comes below season 1,2,5 and 6 of West Wing …
DA I loved but don’t think I could watch more than about twice … unless I gave it a year or so …Let’s face it, it’s just too silly (and Logan is SUCH a sap) … (red rag to CIA's bull ...)

Firefly's my fav. (of the moment) and my second fave... it's divided between three candidates. I just can't choose between Buffy, Wolf's Rain, and Cowboy Bebop!

Northern Exposure is a fine 2nd choice, Somnambulist, we own the first season on dvd. Similar love poured into the writing of the characters. You is definitly eclectic, all right.

Hi Big "C"
Yeah Northern Exposure used to tug the ol' heart strings alright... I loved that show. Used to fantasize about being snowbound in a log cabin with 'my' Maggie O'connel...
Ok Chrisisall pop quiz:

I don't know that I can say FF is my fav, just because it didn't last long enough to claim that title.
Though I might say it's definitly my favorite mini-series.
But truth be told, I don't know that I have any 1 favorite, so FF ranks as high as any others...
...Into which list I would have to include Babylon 5, Farscape, Highlander: The Series, Buffy/Angel, and Batman: The Animated Series.

>>Stargate:SG1 (only through season 4 don't know how they still have anything left and they just got renewed again)>>
I agree. There are good episodes here and there in the later seasons (Abyss, from Season Six, is one of my favorites), but I don't think the show is consistently as good as it used to be in its first four years.

I m afraid to say what I like. Things I like have a nasty habit of ending up cancelled....
Firefly, Profit, Mystery Science Theatre, John Doe, Dark Angel...

Very difficult question.
Firefly is certainly my favorite of the moment.
The Original Star Trek is the most important TV Series to me. Does that make it a favorite?
I thought Young Indiana Jones was incredible. It had the same fate as Firefly, but not the fandom.
