Bummed out. I just finished the fourteen shows of the Firefly story.



What incredible chemistry. So sorry to see it end. Does anyone have any other good sci-fi series I can pick up on netflix?

I already went through Fringe and have seen Lexx and Farscape.

Warehouse 13 is fun. And we like Lost Girl - but it's more fantasy than SciFi Lucinda Aug 2013 #11

But it's not on Netflix. Same goes for Babylon 5. And Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.

A bit closer to Red Dwarf than to anything you mentioned, but the first couple episodes are funny as hell...

The 1979 original was cheesy beyond belief. The 2000's remake was done in a very serious manner.

to develop his own unique personality and each one is more amusing than the next.

I think it may have suffered because it was ahead of its time. They said it was expensive to make. That's why they canned it.
