For sci-fi people, id recommend marathon-ing Star Trek DS9. I'm most way through this one, and finding it to be my favorite series.

I've yet to meet anyone who didn't love BSG. And I agree, DS9 is the best of the Star Trek series.

The first few season, IMO, are not cheesy. Did you know who produced and aired the first five seasons? NOT SyFy channel. ShowTime actually did and then the 6th through the end was picked up by SyFy. I agree the last few seasons were SyFy channel cheesy, but not sure how you could say that about the first few.

Hell, even a few of my friends who hate Sci Fi stuff liked the first season of SG-1 (I watched an episode w/o telling them what it was once and they were like "oh, this is pretty good").

To each their own though. Universe is not bad (and I'd say SG-U has a definite SyFy channel feel to it)

I would for sure check out Three Sheets. By far my favorite show ever. Dont remember if you can stream it on Netflix, but I do know that you can watch it on Hulu.

Yeah it used to be. I got my start on Dexter watching it at a friends house on his xbox, so when I got Netflix on my PS3 (Just a few months ago) I was saw that it was only available when ordering the DVD... already had the box sets though.

That show is golden.

Love this show as well. Besides The Office, its the only show I've ever really watched religiously each week it came out.
My list would probably read:
1. Dexter
2. The Office
3. Friday Night Lights

Man there is a lot of Sci-Fi being dropped....especially for a sports-centric board. :)

I stumbled across this webdoc that is streaming via Netflix called 'Thumbs Up' that simply rules. It's a series that follows street artist, David Choe as he hitchikes, stows-away, and bums across the U.S.

If you like your TV fare a tit-bit avante garde and outside the box, then this 'reality' show should tickle your grumpkin.

Yep. Airing in January or February of next year. Sounds like 3 more 90 minute episodes. Wanted to air them right after Doctor Who ended but they didn't have enough time for editing them together. Being shown as one of their premiere 2012 shows.
