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 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!

Oh, sure you've been of help; any excuse for me to buy more New Who is extremely welcome! :) Given the amount of other stuff we have lying around, the thought of spending money on something new makes me feel a little bit guilty - which isn't to say that I'll probably do it anyway. I just need another nudge or two. *g*

I'm a bit in two minds about DS9, really. We got the S1 DVDs on loan, and while I like it mostly, I don't really have that urge to continue watching. But we did buy S2 and S3 a while back (sale on Amazon, y'know) so I'm feeling kind of obliged to start on those. Which is not the best of reasons to watch something, I know, but still... And it's supposed to get better after that first season, right?
