Lets see:
Buffy (and i think except for a few episode each season was fairly good over all I would have been happier if they had flused out the last episode to about two hours or something simular)
Angel
Sliders (and forget that atleast seasons 4 and 5 ever happend mabey even 3)
ST:Voyager
EFC

Now for the cartoons:
Voltron(the old not the newer)
The old Transformers
Ren & stimpy
Pinky and the brain
Gargoyles( I would be happy with DVD's)

And thats all I can think of right now.

Farscape. Farscape Farscape Farscape. Absolutely.

Dark Angel, if only because it was supposed to get a third season and it was yanked off because Gail is weird. And it is the first television show that I ever watched as a "fan."

Quality Trek. That pretty much includes everything except for Enterprise. Well. Parts of S1 and S2 ENT are on there.

Sports Night.

Aaron Sorkin's West Wing.

Snoops. Anybody remember that? That was cool.

Another vote for Firefly. (Christian bashing? I didn't get that at all. Sure, there was the backwater colony village that wanted to burn River as a witch, based on scripture, but the Preacher Shepherd Book is a good guy. I really wish we'd gotten to find out more about his mysterious past, but then, the series only ran 15 episodes.)

Also:
The X-Files
Sledge Hammer!

Sledge was great! Especially the vignettes at the end, like the time they filmed in black and white and colorized to show it looked perfectly natural.

Oh yeah sndrake, they should also bring back the OJ Simpson trail! (My father never mised an episode, it was by far his favorite show ever.)

The series finale was rather fakey though.

MEC, there's just no comparison between the OJ trial and the Watergate Hearings. The Watergate Hearings had explored the workings and wrongdoings at the very highest levels of government.

And the finale was a classic!

Quick question.

Does anybody know what happened to the X-files? I stopped watching it fairly soon after the movie. Was there an end? I'm assuming it went out with a whimper.

Ah, yes, the X-Files.

From what I remember, the series ended with Mulder groping Scully under the pretex of finding God in her blouse.

*Sighs*

I got my grubby little hands on one of the unaired episodes of Wonderfalls, and now I'm possibly even more bummed the show got cancelled. This is precisely my kind of humour; there are very few shows that can have me laughing ridiculously while sitting alone in front of my computer. And Jaye is hot.

Oh well.

So true. I loved the X-Files so much, I've seen every episode, but I still think it should have finished before it became an hour long parody of itself.

I'd rather loose a great show at it's peak than have to watch it slowly die. Mulder and Scully were given character transplants and they they killed my three favorite characters and brought them back as tacky, star Warsesque ghosts. For that, they can never be forgiven.

You are so right, Dagonee. I have actually gotten into heated debates about that.

Let me second the following:

The Muppet Show
Quantum Leap
Buffy
Andy Richter Controls The Universe
Titus
The Tick (cartoon)
Friends

And add:

Dukes of Hazzard
Freadazoid (cartoon)

Remember that series "V"...sci fi thing w/ aliens that ate gerbils and whatnot. Or was that a mini series? Either way, wouldn't mind seeing it again just because.

I wish that they still had Babylon 5 on television, but only as re-runs. It would make me sad if Babylon 5 went as long as TNG. That was one of the big strengths of B5 -- it had a specific story with a beginning, middle, and end. When it was over, it was over.

But I wish I could watch re-runs on TNT every afternoon again.

Firefly [Smile] [Wink] [Razz]

Because I don't watch that much TV, that's all I can think of. I want them to air the new Doctor Who's over here though.

And Avidreader, if you're still around, I can safely say that there is no Christian bashing in Firefly, although I think I might know which episode you saw.
