You might like these:
- Think Doctor Who is the only TV show missing episodes? Lot of British shows have been lost. http://t.co/CiwtlAg7
- This preview of #scifi and fantasy TV shows coming this fall is pretty light on actual science fiction. Alas. http://t.co/azOBPE0L
- It’s the end of the world. Fox has actually not cancelled a cult fave #scifi show. In this case, Fringe. http://t.co/ieeM79KA
- I don’t think the orbital mechanics are very accurate, but this HTML5 rendering of the Firefly universe is pretty cool. http://t.co/59R2VT7n
- Locus has an interesting piece about genre picture books for young kids, including the argument that Dr. Seuss is scifi. http://ow.ly/6oFTE

Still have not watched Firefly? Seriously? However brief it was, it is almost mandatory viewing for any true SF fan. The first 2 episodes or so are more to get to know the ins and out of the characters, but from there on, it has everything, drama, dark comedy, thrills, but most of all the greatest roundup of characters assembled. I have yet to meet anyone who has watched the series and did not like it, if not in fact love it. The only sore point is that you will join the throngs who wished there was more, and witnessed one of the great tragedies of network cancellation follies.
I would also highly recommend Carnivale, but as the description says, it gets pretty heavy. I also have to warn you that it definitely adult fare so don’t sit down with the kiddies thinking you’re going to watch a circus show.
The only other show on the list I watched in it’s entirety is Angel. While it was good and all, the five seasons were satisfying and it comes to a nice closure.
Only watched Doll house amd Terminator sporadically (I guess I was part of the problem). It’s funny that for both of these shows, I heard it got better after I stopped watching.
Three Joss Whedon shows on the list. Interesting…
Now go watch Firefly!

My biggest fear now is that because of the years of hype I’ve heard about Firefly is that I’m going to be disappointed by it. I’d also be watching something that is effectively incomplete and be left frustrated by it. I do intend on watching it. Eventually. I’m also two years behind on my Doctor Who viewing.
I don’t really get around to watching TV that much. I think the last time I actually sat down to watch a TV show was some time in the summer, but I don’t really remember. It might have been the Summer Olympics.

We only started watching Dr Who this summer and we’re up to the third season. So we’re further behind, but on a good roll.
