At the risk of inciting our own drama, I'd like to submit that Firefly is overrated. I'd say the same thing about Battlestar but that will get me stabbed.
I'm totally stuck on several of those shows (love love love weeds) and I only have one more suggestion for you... which may be the best show ever (I haven't seen Dexter, though I plan to and have heard similar rave reviews)
The Riches. Go get it right now and watch it. Seriously, RIGHT NOW. You are missing out on LIFE by not seeing this show. Eddie Izzard should be enough to sell you, but if you've ever wondered if he could act for real, he totally can. Oh man. SO. GOOD.

sketch,
Do track down Twin Peaks. I just finished season 1 and was left begging for the second season. It's the most...surreal and dark but strangely humorous at times series I have ever seen.
However it does touch on the darker side of things... it's now midnight and I just watched the first episode of season 2: it ended on a really creepy/supernatural/horror note and i'm left feeling slightly uneasy to go to sleep

Katie,
No worries, we're all different flavors! I've heard and read a lot of well put reveiws both good and bad for Firefly, many have good points and I've decided I like Firefly despite/because of it's flaws. (It may also be because I've had a Han Solo complex since I was a very little girl.)
Fyrespirit,
Oh Wow! I had forgotten all about Highlander! Many fans of the movie(s) disliked it but I thought it was great! (Even if it is Canadian)

OK...I've since perused my dvd collection.
Firefly, of course
La Femme Nikita
Farscape
Beauty and the Beast (from the 80's)
Highlander the series (gift)
and one I *need* to get because it is literally like Tim Burten had a love child with Dr. Suess
Pushing Daisies
I can't believe I forgot that show but I so adore it.

Oh, goodness...that was the one with Lara Flynn Boyle before she became a twig, wasn't it? Twin Peaks, I mean...of course. I watched it, for a while...but, at the time, I wasn't too into tv...was too busy going out and getting into trouble...I mean, selling Girl Scout cookies...yeah, that's it!!!

I'm completely over my Heroes obsession due to the entirely lame and crappy second season.
I LOVE Dexter though, and have just recently gotten into Torchwood which I can tell is an obsession in the making. I'm kind of surprised no-one here has mentioned it, actually.
The only TV shows I have on DVD are all seven seasons of Buffy and Justice League.
And yeah, Pele, Pushing Daisies is a sweet show. Can't wait for it to come back!

(pssst, Khan. No one's mentioned Torchwood cause though it kicks booty, it's British  ) I agree too with Heroes second season. We stopped watching it a few episodes in because of the wide spread lame. Did you know Pushing Daisies almost didn't survive the whole strike thing? Of all the crap that lives, this one needs to keep going, so long as it doesn't turn lame too!

Firefly is awesome.
Firefly news:
The character who played the pilot Wash, I forget his name, has confirmed that he and Joss Whedon are working ona new firefly project. Although considering last time we saw Wash he wasn't too healthy, so who knows what it'll be.
And yeh Pele is right there is a comic inbetween the series and film, check it out, its called 'Those Left Behind'
AWESOME SHOW
I also like, Battlestar Galactica, Lost and Prison Break

I think you've managed to make some of us feel old, brenn... cos I'm guessing you didn't see it the first time round, cos you're too young...?
in general, really.
Well, it did come out in 1990-1991... and I would have been just starting primary school 
It was one of those series for years afterwards people had raved about, and 18 years later I finally get hold of it. Just as well I saw it now and not at 6...would have been quite impressionable
