[There Can Be Only One] What's your single favourite TV show? (lemmy.world)

It's tough picking one.

But that's why I'm asking. It's easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.

But when you have to choose a singular show? When you're forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?

Babylon 5 for me.

It's got plenty of issues but it's still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it's still the best long-form sci-fi story I've seen onscreen.

Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.

Wondering what you thought of the reboot?

Didn't know that there was one. Not sure I want to know. I tend to hate reboots of shows and movies that I previously liked.

Can't imagine the show without Anderson. I met him at a SAM (Society of American Magicians) meeting in the early 90s. Dude was hilarious and his magic style was so smooth. The rest of the cast was pretty irreplaceable too.
