  Old  Good series?

I'm looking to expand my current range of series, currently I watch:
  • Smallville
  • Charmed
  • The OC
Do you lot know any other good series worth watching? Preferably sci-fi/action, or real good sitcoms (Friends!)

Well firstly I'd reccommend *contracting* your list a little - get rid of Charmed and The OC.
Then for your sci-fi needs you'll need a healthy dose of Stargate (SG-1 or Atlantis, both are good). Oh and you should definitely buy the Firefly DVD's. The only 'really good sitcom' I can think of off the top of my head is Arrested Development.

I've seen a few random Lost episodes and had no clue what it was about - I guess I'll have to see it from the beginning.

I know Charmed and the OC aren't as good as they used to be, I still follow those shows because I still feel for the characters basically Unfortunally I don't like Stargate the series, I did like the movie though - I've tried following the series but didn't really like it.
FireFly.. I've heard it's very good, didn't the movie "Serenity" come out recently which is in fact FireFly the movie?

I agree! SG-1 and Atlantis are great and Firefly is definitely top of my list...right next to Farscape.

The Firefly movie (Serenity) rocked too...I wish someone would pick up the series again. Maybe the movie will get some interest going...? (wishful thinking I know...) Joss Whedon's writing has always been great, he doesn't treat you like a child and lead you by the nose, lets you come to conclusions. Good humor, great adventure.

Battlestar Galatica is definately worth watching, as are a couple of new shows: Surface and Supernatural.

Battlestar Galactica for sure. SG1 and Atlantis. Surface is amazing. Lost is good and would be better if they could run 5 new episodes in a row w/o all the dang repeats. I like the Amazing Race too.
