Favorite TV series was Babylon 5.

 

[Mark CMG]

Favorite TV series was Babylon 5.

I expanded it to top ten but I'll bet that one ranks up there for most people. On a side note, your favorites don't necessarily have to be what you think are the ten best, just the ones you liked for whatever reasons.

 

[Just_Hal]

Top Ten eh.....

1.Firefly
in no particular order

BSG (new)
Angel
Bab5
SG-1
SG Atlantis
Thundarr
Roar (now on Sci-Fi)
ummm will add 2 more as I see more posted.....

More:
Farscape
The 4400
The Dead Zone
Wonderfalls
Smallville
Sliders
The Flash

Space Ghost
Herculoids
--
Beastmaster

[Wombat]

This is gonna be difficult. I'll see if I can come up with ten I really liked...

1) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
2) Star Trek (original series)
3) The Twilight Zone
4) Night Stalker
5) The Outer Limits
6) X-files
7) Doctor Who
8) Red Dwarf

Nope, can't think of any others I consistently enjoyed; even these had a lot of potholes for me.

I'm just not much of a tv person, I guess
