Oh, I second (or third or fourth) the recommendation for B5. The fifth season did fall flat a bit, but the first four seasons more than make up for it with amazing story and characterization. My parents watched it when I was a kid, and I remember walking through the room and knowing I WANTED to watch it but also knowing I couldn't understand it at all. When I got into my teens, I had my mom watch it with me from beginning to end so I could fully appreciate it -- one of my all-time favorite shows.

Anyway, sorry to digress without giving you an answer to your original question -- seeing B5 mentioned, I just couldn't help but jump in. :rolleyes:
