I knew about Firefly, but not about Alien Nation or V for example. Threshold was indeed cheesy, and Surface and Invasion just couldn't lure me in to watching them every week. There just wasn't any appeal to their story lines when you had other shows addressing bigger, better issues.

I was so mad when they cancelled. it. Antonio Sabato Jr, Clancey Brown.....I could cry. Loved V, loved the original BSG, love the new one more. The other one didn't age well. Oh, The Adventures of Brisco Co Jr! Loved that show! Still have my old VCR tapes of it. And Firefly, 'course. I loved Earth 2! I was so mad when they cancelled. it.

I'd place the original Night Stalker there myself. I bought the DVDs recently. Such fun. The show's opening gave me bad dreams as a kid. Others for consideration. Max Headroom: Why isn't this on DVD yet! The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.: Western and SF. UFO: I'm watching it on DVD now. Some of it is silly, some of it is still surprisingly good.
