Battlestar Galactica anyone? I've just watched it a month ago, still have a few of the prequel movies (The plan + blood and chrome) and maybe Caprica (although I heard most of these are shit :/)
That's a frakking good show.
firefly:(
Where you just rewatch one season eight times =[

The original BBC radio version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is absolutely incredible. It's a radio play read by Douglas Adams, so its a step up from a normal audio book and they do a fantastic job on all the voice acting, sound effects and music. This isnt an adaptation either - the series started as a radio sitcom, and was adapted into books, TV, movies, etc.

Look at how the headphone connects to the phone, for example.

I'll add Voyager to that trek list.
And +1 for BSG, I've always loved the show. I actually just watched the first two episodes again this past week, but for the first time I decided to smoke some weed first.
Holy shit I get WAY more into the show when I'm baked... Like I was trying not to cry when the 60 FTL capable ships left the other 20ish behind and they focused on the little girl playing with her bear as the nukes detonated...
And hearing everyone go from a solemn, muttered "so say we all..." to a strong, purposeful "SO SAY WE ALL!"

I really like the bits of the Expanse I've seen. I absolutely love how realistic they portray space life, especially combat. After a few episodes I realized it was one long continued story, and the series was still being worked on, I lost all drive to finish it.
I'll pick it back up eventually, it just feels like sitting down to watch a 200 hour movie, rather than a TV show.
The start of BSG is so good. One of the best, if not the best, starts of any show. 33, in particular, is so strong. It really makes you feel the pressure that they're being hunted.
Sadly the end of the show isn't nearly as good. It's not a Game of Thrones ending, but it's a drop in quality from the start, but I don't know how you'd end it with the same level as it starts.
I'll add Voyager to that trek list
+1 for Voyager. I’m almost finished a watch through now and I’m kicking myself for not watching it as a kid. I watched so many reruns of TNG and DS9 after school but somehow missed Voyager.
And The Expanse is well worth the watch. The books are phenomenal and some of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
Yeah the expanse book series is apparently three duologies and a trilogy.
But that mindset helped me frame the story better.
Also, the trilogy is set 30 years after Babylon's Ashes, so even if I'd have liked the TV show to continue after book 6, it finished in a way that doesn't leave any major cliffhangers.
I'm still hoping they'll simply continue the show 30 years after the last season, so that all actors have the right age. Although
Spoiler for book 7
Duarte hasn't aged because of protomolecule treatment, so that one would still need another actor or a lot of makeup

Bro Stargate SG1. it really hits its stride in Season 4. 10 freaking seasons, babayyy
I started my... 5th rewatch last week.
They really don't make shows like they used to.
The episode where jack and teal'c switched bodies and the actors had to impersonate each other hits hard.

But... nothing happens.
Hours go by to nothing happen.

Adventure Time and SG1 for me
The Venture Bros.
Waiting for new seasons back then was exhausting.
It was so worth it though. The writing was superb with seemingly throwaway plot points coming back years later in full force. It may have taken years to write but the pacing and story was nearly perfect every season.
I binged both Parks and Rec and Community after they were finished.
Game of Thrones had finished all but their last season when I started. (Perfect up until the last season.)
I recently started watching The Blacklist. It's totally silly, but it's worth it just to watch a couple of James Spader monologues every episode. They're silly, too, but he's so fucking fun to watch.
The Americans was an amazing show that many people missed. Right up there with Breaking Bad, The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.
Also Star Trek: Next Generation, ST: Deep Space 9, ST: Voyager, ST: Strange New Worlds. Star Trek: The Original Series is super campy and fun, but it's not great, but it is is great.
ST:Enterprise, and ST: Discovery suck.
Also Twilight Zone.
there is no way in hell this isnt about house md
Many many great House episodes. But the later seasons became a parody of itself. The whole series is worth a watch if someone hasn't seen it before.

I felt this when I found out about Corner Gas. Six seasons and a movie and then four more as an animated series. Chef’s kiss
There's a movie!?!?
Yeah it’s like an extra long episode not like a big wrap up or anything but it’s not the kind of show that needs a big wrap up.
Corner Gas: The Movie

Why does the headphone only has one ear and why does the cable not connect to the side of the phone and instead goes in front of the screen?
