I haven't seen SAAB since it aired originally, and I'm worried that I won't really like it now because my tastes have changed considerably. And your right about Andromedea. It has to been in my top ten of worst shows ever. Thanks for responding on the 24 thing.

I thought farscape was clever and original. I'm not really a big SG-1 fan, but when the show got moved to Showtime I thought it was alright.

^You mean moved to Scifi? It started out on Showtime.

If you want my advice, don't make a judgement about SG1 until you've seen it from the beginning. I've lost count of the number of people I know who were lukewarm or outright hostile to SG1 after seeing some random eps, but became fans after seeing it in order.

Farscape, Buffy, a little bit of Angel, SG-1 when I can, Futurama,and a little show many of you might not of even heard of, it didn't last very long, but it's called "Firefly".

and after that, I'm really only a maniac about "Six Feet Under"...I'm probably forgetting something though.

Stargate SG-1 is a good show, I've also become a fan of the new Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Children of Dune, Dark Angel, Andromeda and Firefly of course.

Firefly is by far my favorite, but I also like Angel, The Lost World and Starhunter. Angel needs to be around for a sixth season. What's wrong with the WB?

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Right now, the only show on the air I watch with any regularity is Joan of Arcadia, but I'll keep an eye out for Wonderfalls which starts soon.

I've seen a few eps each of Tru Calling and Jake 2.0 but was not impressed much. Haven't watched either Andromeda or Enterprise after about three eps each in their first seasons. Really lame retreads, desperately clutching to the memory and legacy of Roddenberry.

I watch SG1 occasionally, but really wish I had had Showtime when it began, or had been aware of when SciFi began running the first season eps.

I had gone on record in a review at my site that Babylon 5 is the best SF that has ever been on television, but in the last year something else arrived that caught my attention, and if it had been given the chance just might have pushed B5 out of that top spot. I'm talking about Firefly of course. I am confident that I will be seeing more of it in the future, then later I can tell you whether it actually beats out B5.

Other than that, I have fond memories of several other genre shows that I would like to see back on the air, or else get DVD sets of them released. American Gothic, Brimstone and Dark Skies all deserved a better break than they got, the break that Firefly seems to have going for it.

Keep flying, Serenity.

I really don't watch anything currently, but I have enjoyed a few things in my time.

Star Trek TNG (some ds9 and Voyager, but I never really became attached)
Babylon 5
Stargate SG1
some Space: Above and Beyond, but I never could figure out what its timeslot was
Buffy and Angel, if you want to count that
I stopped watching X-Files regularly just after the movie came out
Twilight Zone
Cowboy Bebop
Futurama

I watch all of these on a pretty irregular basis.

I have to agree with whoever noted the importance of the Western aspects of Firefly. I love westerns, and they can incorporate imporatant mythological aspects of American culture. And they are usually about cowboys or old west outlaws, who, along with pirates and bikers, are about as free as you can get.

I'm with you on most of these shows. I have Futurama and Firefly on DVD, but spent many of formative years watching ST:TNG. Lost interest in the X-files after Fight the Future. And Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime of all time--and shares some elements with Firefly, which is probably why I took such a liking to Firefly when it aired. :D

Firefly, Star Wars, Voyager, Enterprise, Red Dwarf and Tremors. I'm surprised that nobody else has mentioned Tremors.

I'm watching the last of SG1 at the moment, looking forward to Atlantis and also to Carnivale which has been shown in the UK yet but is apparently very good. I loved Babylon 5 (except the last season) which was amazing as was Farscape for the life of me I dont get why that was cancelled, I Like all Star Trek and find Enterprise this season(3) much improved. Gave up on Andromeda in season 2, I also liked Joh Doe which was amusing yet again not renewed. I liked Buffy, Angel and I tolerate Charmed (Kids!) and I cant say I'm impressed by Tremors at all. Or much else on the Sci Fi channel for that matter. And dont even mention Mutant X Aaaaarhhh!

Quite fond of Firefly (of course), Babylon 5 (new material is on the way!), Stargate SG-1, and Jeremiah - which I think is going to get "Foxed" by Showtime. In other words, IMO it's another excellent show that's probably going to get cancelled.

I set my VCR for three things a week:
Angel, Smallville, and Stargate SG-1. Don't have Showtime so I haven't been able to catch Jeremiah, although now that it's on DVD I'd love to catch it. Babylon 5 was my favorite show until Firefly came along, hence the screen name, so it's gotta be good.

ShadowVessel,
I just got Jerimiah on DVD trust me when I say it is so worth the money and you'll be happy to know nearly half the episodes are written by JMS.Nine out of nineteen to be exact. And some new Babylon 5 should be comming out soon.

Ditto! I picked up the set too and was very pleased. JMS & Joss - guess it's a "J" thing.
