Guides for watching TV series

There are many great TV series out there, but some of them take a while to become watchable (“Star Trek: The Next Generation” comes to mind) or have some awful episodes in them. Thankfully, there are people out there who are willing to protect the general public. For example, “How to get into 20 classic science fiction shows” helps with

1. Star Trek: The Original Series


2. Star Trek: The Next Generation


3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine


4. Star Trek: Voyager


5. Star Trek: Enterprise


6. Doctor Who


7. Torchwood


8. Red Dwarf


9. The Prisoner


10. The Twilight Zone


11. Mystery Science Theater 3000


12. The X-Files


13. Buffy the Vampire Slayer


14. Angel


15. Dollhouse


16. Babylon 5


17. Highlander: The Series


18. Battlestar Galactica


19. Lost


20. The Stargate Franchise

Now, I’d really appreciate it if someone did the same for “Fringe” which has some weak episodes, but also some great ones (and more great ones the more it progresses).
