Buffy is one of them. Another is The X -Files. At least up to the end of the next-to-last season. Last season sucked ass.

Buffy, definitely. Angel, too, although I fell away during the "St. Cordy" storyline in the middle until thigns got more, ah, interesting. I agree with you about The X-Files, worth missing until the point it jumped the shark. That had to be the most tragic shark-jumping to which I was ever witness, given how great the show had been.

I felt like Angel jumped the shark after the second season, if not during it. Darla irritates the fuck out of me.

The chemistry between Duchovny and Anderson made The X-Files one of the best shows I've ever seen. Taking Duchovny out of it ruined it. So did the suddenly-galloping-towards-stupidity plotline of the last season. But still, there are some episodes of that show that are among the best things that have ever, ever been on TV.

Firefly.

(Although a little tiny piece of me really misses F Troop)

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Firefly. VERY true. Don't know why I didn't say it. Maybe because I was only thinking of shows that got through a full run?

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Dunno but I was shocked that you forgot it.

*nudge*

Firefly was my first thought for this.

Actually, it's my only thought for this. I want to know Inarra's secret. I want to know about Shepard Book. etc. etc.

sigh.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Book's a former operative, it's the only thing that makes sense.

[leenah.livejournal.com]

oh, well, YEAH, of course, but how does the CREW find out? how do they react? what's Mal's take on it?

you got an answer for that hypo that Inarra has? that's still a real mystery, as far as i know. i haven't seen the latest set of comics though.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

hypo?

[leenah.livejournal.com]

ok, in Bushwhacked, when they're packing to leave the ship, Inarra pulls out a box and we're shown that it holds a hypodermic and a couple vials.

that was NOT a throw away. Joss said it wasn't meant as a suicide kit.

so, what was it?

[unferth.livejournal.com]

Samurai Jack never got a proper ending. It'd be hard to do it now, since Mako died.

I wouldn't mind seeing more Invader Zim, either.

The West Wing & Babylon 5 are two of my all time favs... I don't think WW had any bad season at all, and only parts of the last season of B5 annoyed me with Cpt. Lockley... I also admit I was quite interested in Big Love... It'll be interesting to see what they do when that comes back...

The "Fucked by FOX" crowd:
Firefly, fer shur
Kindred: The Embraced
Drive had solid potential (pulled after two episodes? really, guys?)
Sliders (pre-Sci-Fi Channel)

The toons:
DuckTales
Gargoyles
The Tick

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I remember Sliders! It was kinda dumb, but entertaining. Hell, it had John Rhys-Davies! He adds to the awesome factor of ANY movie or TV show.

[alfredmorris.livejournal.com]

Yes! And the wicked cute Sabrina Lloyd, who then co-starred in another one for this list - Sports Night. Then she was on the first season of one of my current faves, NUMB3RS, but disappeared by the second season with no explanation that I remember :(

SPOON!

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

My "you've got mail" notification back when I had AOL was "Hey! A letter! Somebody loves Die Fledermaus!" And "SPOOOOOON!" was my shutdown sound.

Sorry, I can't agree about Vampire - 90210

[welshbard.livejournal.com]

I'd say Firefly, and Mission: Impossible (the series), but only the version with Peter Graves, Martin Landau, and Barbara Bain (two seasons).
