I'm very surprised that the absofragginlutely **BEST** show of all time, in "any" category, only got 4 measly votes. Babylon 5 ~~RAWKS~~!!!!!!!!!! Every episode was great. The plotlines held your attention, and the writing was sharp. Each episode had more than one storyline going on in it. And no matter how serious the theme of a show might be, you just knew that somewhere, something funny would pop up. It might be no more than a single line of dialog, or a sight gag, but you knew it was coming. Classic example: near the end of an episode when all sorts of things go awry, Zack Allen (Jeff Conaway) says something like "what else can go wrong today?" as he stands at the gate where new arrivals enter the station. And sure enough, right on cue, a group of Elvis impersonators files in to B5. Elvis impersonators??? In the year 2259?????? How nutty is that?? The absolute funniest episode of all is "Acts Of Sacrifice", from Season 2, I think. That is just totally fall on the floor, roll around, laugh till you cry, hold your sides cause they hurt, pee your pants funny!! And what makes it funnier still is that it is played straight, not as comedy. DUNE was another great show. I've seen both movie versions, and if I had to choose between them, I'd have to say that the original version is the best. I like the casting better, and Kyle MacLaughlin, well, what can I say, other than YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......... I did like some elements of the second version of DUNE though. Now, if they could combine the two, that would be nice. I tried to read the original Dune book a number of times. But it was so poorly (oddly) written, that I could never get past the first few chapters. I was very pleasantly surprised that the movies turned out to be so much better than the book. I love the Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis shows. Watch them all the time. The new series "Dr. Who" isn't bad, although I like the former actor who played him (Christopher Eggleston??) better than the current one.
