I never got into Lost or 24 (or Law & Order) so they aren't on my list.

My top 5 (I can only pick five?? AUGH!) would have to be:

- Firefly
- Babylon 5
- Stargate SG-1 (but only through season 8 - the Ori just weren't believable as "bad guys" compared to the Goa'uld, and the show just wasn't the same without the original SG-1 team)
- Buffy
- Star Trek: TNG

There's also classic Doctor Who, which according to FSUZeta doesn't count as a completed series, because of New Who. To be fair, when Doctor Who went off the air in the 1980s, it wasn't wrapped up as neatly as, say, B5 or TNG, so the new series is really a continuation of the old series - the season numbers started over at 1, but the Doctor was in his ninth form (following his eighth regeneration).

Then there are Quantum Leap, Farscape, Seven Days, The Avengers, The Prisoner, V (the original) ...

And there will always be a soft spot in my heart for Star Trek: TOS. That was the very first science fiction TV series I ever watched... my sci-fi gateway drug

I think I am the only girl in my generation who did NOT like "My So Called Life."

[oncegreek]

"The Riches," from the FX channel, ran in 2007-2008. It is about a couple of Irish Travelers- Irish gypsies, really, played by Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver, who assume the identities of a couple killed in a car crash. They go on to try to fit into upper middle class suburbia, with rather hilarious results. It bears certain similarities to "Weeds," with a nod to "Mad Men." I was browsing Netflix, and found it. I wish it had not been cancelled. (Google Irish Travelers- pretty interesting)

[IrishLake]

OOO I loved The Riches! I heart Minnie Driver though. (and UK travelers give new meaning to "trash")

[oncegreek]

I have heard that Irish travelers can be found throughout the south, but I have never heard of them in California. The Riches, like Weeds, was filmed largely in and around Santa Clarita. Much of 24 was filmed there, too.

[ms_gwyn]

NCIS is also filmed in Santa Clarita, a friend of mine...his workplace is a consistent filming location.

[agzg]

Gilmore Girls (but it was ready to be ova)
Golden Girls
Sex and the City
Dollhouse
ER
And now L&O
