Which show is the best?
Call it curiosity.

EDIT: Did not foresee this result. Perhaps I just need a larger-scale...or perhaps I was just dead-wrong?

had firefly been given a chance to fulfill its potential, i might have voted for it. bsg was given that chance, it had an awesome run (somewhat unsatisfactory conclusion, though), and i dont know the other two, so bsg gets my vote

Farscape all the way. I still don't get this whole cult following of Firefly. I can understand if you're an angsty middle school student, but I just don't get the appeal. BSG is ok, but it takes itself way too seriously, and by the time they left the new planet, I stopped caring. I really didn't care who the other cylons were. B5 could have been great, but the poor attempts at CG and the horrible dialogue makes it a bit painful to watch. I love the overall story and all of the different alien species, but listening to any of the little interchanges between Sheridan and Garibaldi makes me want to shove a screwdriver into my ear.

Farscape was pretty great. The aliens were all pretty interesting. The overall story was great. The dialogue was decent. The puppetry was great, and the show stands the test of time in my opinion.

I also like the fact that one of the main characters had to quit after a couple of seasons because the makeup was literally killing her.

seonsengnimble pretty much said all that needed to be said on the topic. Farscape is by far the best out of the bunch.

My only question is this: Why was Lexx left out of the poll?
