Battlestar is our overall favorite show. Bastards are not making new ones until next year, right? And, we are still waiting for the new Doctor Who season to show up in the US.
We have the anime channel now. every once in a while we spend a whole day watching the various shows. They usually have 3-4 episodes of maybe 100 seies on, each month.
