BattleStar Galactica (Is over)

Red Dwarf embraces its cheese.
The other shows try to act as if the rubber thing that looks like a third grade art project is a real menace.

You're almost making me want to give this series another shot. I watched the two hour intro movie thing a couple years ago and felt completely indifferent towards it, where it wasn't terrible for a TV show but I couldn't bring myself to give a single fuck about anything going on or the characters. Is that elongated episode representative of the rest of the series or does it get a lot better really quickly?

I have NEVER been able to make it through the mini series opener. Snoozefest halfway in every time.
Skip it and start with the first proper series episode.

Alright, I'll check out the first episode and hope for the best.

Give yourself 4-5 eps to get hooked. So say we all.

Start with "33" and watch through "Bastille Day."
If those three episodes don't grab you, move on.

I got to season 2 and never watched it again, though I recall liking it.

Awesome, sounds like a plan.

Red Dwarf would be in my number 3 spot though!

I'd have Firefly at number one, but that's hard to do given its lack of longevity. Love everything else on that list, but it all lacks the weight of BSG.

Space Above and Beyond should be on that list.
