Because polls are fun! (and useful too)

Just finished watching, in a slightly chaotic order, DS9's first season, Stargate SG-1's fifth, and everything we could find of The Big Bang Theory (which was, of all the comedy shows I've seen over the past years, the one that made me laugh loudest and most often! Engineering and physics jokes made me all nostalgic, *sigh*. Not to mention the references to various obscure and less obscure fandoms - game of Klingon Boggle, anyone?).

The logical next question is, which show to watch now? Unfortunately, said question isn't so straightforward to answer, given that I just received a whole hard drive's worth of sci-fi series from a gracious colleague and co-geek, and husband got half a hard-drive's worth of mostly comedy shows from one of his colleagues not so long ago, which we're still only halfway through. So, dear flist, I was hoping you could give me some much-needed advice. Below is the list of possible choices. Which shows, when you watched them back in the time, exceeded your expectations? Which ones have you watched a dozen times and still haven't grown tired of? And which made you wail and curse because you thought they were crap but couldn't stop watching anyway?

I'm afraid I don't know enough of these show to vote, but here's my two cents anyway.
The 4400, while not exactly bad, was mostly disappointing and easily forgettable. Skip it. Doctor Who s3 was, imo, better that s2.
Also, you should totally consider Deadwood. Because Deadwood is great and needs more fic.
(And if you decide to go for Lost s5, tell me if it was worth the price or if I should just wait for some kind relative to give it to me as a Christmas present:))

I have no suggestions because I watch almost everything way after it's aired (like you know, 10 years or so!) I know I liked DS9 very much when it was on, but I don't remember much about it.

DW S3 is good, but S4 is better.

I finally watched Serenity and like it well enough, though the Mal kind of hero drives me a little mad. So maybe Firefly?

Sorry! No help here!
