Ya know what? When you're right you're right.

Specifically, I would agree that the characters are pretty great and work very well together.

The rest, I would say is about mid for a TV show, but TV shows have also fallen off pretty hard since then. There's a decent amount of campiness, which strongly contrasts with how firefly superfans tend to describe it. The fan base definitely affected my previously stated opinion. It's a pretty good show, but it's not a great show that I would expect to see on a top x list.
