Mostly because after Farscape got cancelled, we dedicated 'scapers were all jonesing for some good sci-fi, and everyone kept recommending these two series as tonal kindred spirits. They are not. So even though my wife loves Red Dwarf and made me watch all of it, I could never get into it. And I just don't get what's supposed to be so great about Firefly or Serenity at all. (This was also when I rewatched the original Star Wars trilogy and thought for the first time in my life, "Huh, maybe Star Trek is better than Star Wars after all." Or maybe that's just what happens when you get older.)I might also add Babylon 5 to that list, except that I couldn't stay awake through the first episode of Babylon 5.2003's Battlestar Galactica just seems lab-grown to bug the crap out of me in every way as a fan of 1978's Battlestar Galactica.As a fan of Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation, I find Deep Space Nine to be incredibly dull and dreary and Voyager to be just god-awful; but I dearly love Enterprise and will die on that hill.</blockquote>
