    DS9 - It will always hold a special place in my heart.
    BSG
    Angel
    The Sopranos
    South Park
    Desperate Housewives
    Buffy
    Lost
    Star Trek
    TNG


    Firefly - Doesn't count as a full-fledged "show"
    Rome, Deadwood, Carnivale, Dead Like Me - too abruptly ended. They didn't really have endings.
    Heroes, Dexter - Contenders for the top five, but they need to get through another really good season before I'll add them to the top. Lost, after all, we excellent its first season and then plunged.
