Heroes was unwatchable garbage. It’s inclusion in the list destroys the listmaker’s credibility.

I could watch B5 all day long...

IMHO, for continuity.. I would recommend Babylon 5
You must endure the first season (which has lots of hints needed for later)!...the series is somewhat out of order.

Season 4 was the end of the show. So the very last episode of Season 4 should be watched after the entire series, movies, and sequel series (Crusade & Jeremiah).

The prequel ("In the Beginning") was actually released in Season 5 when TNT reran the show and contracted for Season 5 and some movies.

My recommended sequence...
=== "In The Beginning" movie
=== "The Gathering" movie
=== Season 1-4 (but NOT last episode of season 4)
=== Season 5 Episode 1-3
=== "Thirdspace" movie
=== the rest of Season 5 but NOT last episode
=== "River of Souls" movie
=== Call to Arms (the prequel to Crusade)
==="Lost Tales"
=== Last episode of Season 5
=== and then last episode of Season 4.

Then optionally watch or insert after "Lost Tales" the rest of the story.

Hmmmm...what ever happened to Farscape...I lost it due ever switching daystimes/cancellation. Was just beginning to discern story arc.

All of us had a crush on Annette or Darlene, even if we didn’t quite understand what a crush was.

Not many people did know that since it was never aired until the DVD came out a couple of years back. It was not as funny. Gilligan and the Skipper were the same, as were the Howells, but the younger couple and the single woman, a blond Marylin Monroe type secretary IIRC, just didn’t have the comedy mix that the final show did. They were much too serious drama type actors instead of comedy. No wonder it was never aired........................

I watch Gold Rush, the never ending saga of the Hoffman family and their terminal case of bad luck.

Did you see the shows last week?

Parker did really well, beyond expectations. The previews of the new season showed that the Hoffman crew is splitting up...................

I loved Nowhere Man, and I remember the scene you mentioned, and yes, superb it was!!
The whole series was fascinating. I remember the episode where the Nowhere Man is watching the entire nightmare he was living unfold on TV in front of his eyes, only the producers used different actors to play the Nowhere Man and his wife. Very weird...
And the “cable tv” episode, where people were being brainwashed by their cable system..as soon as I saw that episode, I knew the series was gonna go off the air...it hit too close to home!!!!!!!

I watched Parker.. He is great and will make a good show!! The Hoffman’s under the lead of Todd probably won’t be back!!! Todd sure made some dumb blunders!!

Pason, Parker’s younger brother, should re-open Big Nugget Mine and get the rest of the gold a Smith Creek.

Todd should give it up, entirely.

Parker’s new season goal: 2000 ounces....................From the cut at ‘Fantasyland’ as his foreman called it!..................

You know what? My mistake, I was thinking of "Journeyman", which was a 2007 Fall series.

Avast detected a threat but interesting site.

Strike Force from the early 80s would be another that deserved a much longer run.

EQ was a great series. I liked the 4th wall bit where the audience is invited to solve the case.

I learned to love JLU courtesy of Batman and Superman TAS. Before those came along, I didn’t really care too much about the superhero stuff.

The writing and animation style of those were really good.

If only that short lived but not bad GI Joe Renegades was drawn that nicely. No doubt it was a budget and producer thing there which happens often enough.

I loved the old 40s sets too on EQ. And the women’s clothes and hats. And of course, the old cars.

People don’t dress nice today, but that’s another thread.....

I found that a while back and died laughing over every episode.

Better than 95% of what’s on now.

I could go for some minisodes of The Interceptors of Top Gear:

Dilbert the animated series should have ran longer.
