"Firefly is not the best series ever made, but it's the best series ever made that was cancelled mid-season."

Well, for me personally, that title goes to a series called "Dark Skies" (or maybe that was cancelled at the end of a season(?))

I agree on the Buffy front. Unfortunately, over here Buffy did not play on one channel, and continuously. It played on 3 different channels over its lifetime, and some of those channels had little national coverage at the time. Buffy started on (iirc) TV2 for a few seasons at a resonably prime time (8-9pm ish). It then went to TV3 where they started again from the beginning, but, being a lot behind the U.S. it played at about 11pm at night, and was a few seasons behind. After about the middle of the second or third (?)season (the 'Adam' season) they had a one day buffy marathon where they played all of the (for us) 'new' episodes for the rest of that, and the following season. It then shifted to channel 4 where they started playing from season three(?) or so, once again late at night.
I plan on getting Angel on DVD second hand eventually. I think the entire series played here all on TV3. A couple seasons on primetime, and the rest at 11:30 pm ~~~
Firefly also played here at about the same timeslot :-( , but I don't plan on viewing something that will leave me disappointed.

At the moment, my only "must see" program is 24 (the season where a nuclear reactor melts down, but the main threat only seems that they are going to shot down the president in airforce one... strange priorities :P )

We have only had one season of Lost here, and that didn't make it to must see for me (resonable, but I wouldn't turn down a game of tennis for it :P ) I have doubts about how long it can last. It has the smell to me of the X-Files (where the first two seasons were innovative, but then it went downhill), but there is much less room to maneuvre within the Lost plot (flashbacks, current island stuff).
