Me? Battlestar Gallactica - I am OBSESSED with it and having a great time zipping through all the episodes on Netflix. Finally I have something to watch while I fold the laundry ;-)

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I'm nearing the end of Season 3 of the BSG series that was made during the 2000s

Another series I came to very late is "Breaking Bad," which I caught up on Netflix early this fall, and can't wait for the rest of it!

@ Riley - Yeah, I missed out on a TON of tv from 1998-2006, while busy finishing high school, going to college, and then getting married and starting to work. There's some really good stuff out there. I also recently checked out 1 episode of Firefly, but decided to get through all of BSG first.

Greatest American Hero
Stargate
All the star treks, they are really amazing on Blu Ray
ok, really showing my geek card here, aren't I? LOL
we also liked That 70s Show, Freaks and Geeks, Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Wonderfalls (those aren't really old but they were awesome). You have to watch all of Firefly. And then serenity the movie.
OMG I bet you also missed Babylon 5. Honestly the best sci fi show ever, well, next to firefly, hmm... that's a hard one...

BSG for sure! Love that I got to marathon it, though :)

Others:

West Wing
Firefly
Dollhouse
24
MI-5
Jericho
Flashpoint
Prisonbreak
Gilmore Girls
Doctor Who

Thing is... I go on TV Binges every few years. I watched zero TV from 97-2002, then nada but kid shows for a few years (and nick at night), so I had about 10 years to catch up on.

Ahh... Netflix!!!

I just discovered Merlin. My mom bought the earlier seasons recently and I just love it. I also just got into Downton Abbey. My neighbor let us borrow her previous seasons dvds and are really enjoying them too. My Aunt is telling us to look at her dvd's of 24 which I have never seen. Looking forward to that.

I just got into the Unusuals, and I'm so sad that there was only half a season!

I recently marathoned the West Wing, which I hadn't watched in a while. Watched the end of Season 1 through Season 2. That was some good television!

I liked all the Joss Whedon shows: Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel. I was a latecomer to Castle and Downton Abbey, so I had fun catching up with those.

answers from Rochester on

Yup...it's because of Netflix that I have found and loved many shows!! ;)

In the past several years, I have discovered and loved (and NEVER watched the first time, on TV) Lost, Monk, Jericho, Once Upon a Time, and Psych.

I was so sad and disappointed to run out of Psych episodes...and then yesterday, I discovered Frasier. I didn't think I'd like it, but I did.

But HOW awesome is it that there's a Youtube channel on my Wii now?!? I am in love!!! I have been watching old episodes of Classic Concentration, Supermarket Sweep, and catching up on Shark Tank.
