It's tough picking one.

But that's why I'm asking. It's easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.

But when you have to choose a singular show? When you're forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?


Babylon 5 for me.

It's got plenty of issues but it's still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it's still the best long-form sci-fi story I've seen onscreen.


Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.

    I still remember how much of a game changer it was to finally figure out that I could pre-record the show I wanted to watch on a tape then watch it later that night after work. (Was Angel, a spinoff of Buffy.)

    Then I realized I could fast-forward the ads by doing so.

    My god. I was living the life then.

    Wondering what you thought of the reboot?

    Didn't know that there was one. Not sure I want to know. I tend to hate reboots of shows and movies that I previously liked.

    Can't imagine the show without Anderson. I met him at a SAM (Society of American Magicians) meeting in the early 90s. Dude was hilarious and his magic style was so smooth. The rest of the cast was pretty irreplaceable too.
