Noticing that several cult shows are making their appearance in this topic, I thought this list would generate some interesting comments. I already have my own list of Top 10 shows. Do you? If so, post it here. I will post my list later.

Where do I begin? If you took a peek at my DVD collection I got all six seasons of Stargate SG-1. When Season 7 is available on DVD I will buy it. I got a few episodes of Star Trek and of course Jonny Quest.

The list in no order

Stargate SG-1
All 5 Star Trek Series
Flintstones
The Dead Zone
The West Wing
JAG and Navy NCIS
Justice League
Babylon 5
Kamen Rider V3
Alias (also have all the current DVD)
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Law & Order
Monk
ER
Outer Limits (the new version)


The one oddball is Earth: Final Conflict. It started off as a good series to watch then it started to go downhill in the later half of the 1st season. It got really terrible on the 2nd season from that point on to when it ended on it's 5th season it was crappy sci-fi series but I suspect I was rubber necking on it because I continued to watch it hoping something good would come from it. It didn't.
