The show was 5 years long, and the all 5 years had been totally written before any episodes had even been filmed. It was owned by WB and year 5 was the weakest because they didn't know if the show would be picked up for year 5 so some of the actors quit after year 4. It's set in space and it's about the daily events that happen on a space station called Babylon 5. It's B5 because the previous 4 all were destroyed before they could even come on line and you find out why in one very good episode. I bought all of the seasons when they came out on DVD and like to watch them every now and then.
My other favorite is the Smallville series that's on the CW network now in it's 8th season. I like because I've always been a Superman fan and the way the writers have done things has been very interesting. For instance, Clark is afraid of heights so he's afraid to fly and he also hates tights so he usually wears a blue or red coat all the time. Most of the episodes have been good and there's been a few stinkers but overall entertaining. My only gripe has been the over playing of the Lana/Clark stuff, and then this they kind of went over the top and gave her super powers. However, the last episode was her last and won't be on anymore so they can get on with the Lois/Clark stuff (Lois is way better looking too).
So what's your favorites?
