For me, hands down Stargate-SG1 was the best of all the sci-fi franchises produced for television, followed by Battlestar Galactica...
Planning on buying the entire SG1 series to see it all over again...

How "early" do you go with Dr. Who?
I barely remember Hartnell, I admit. I saw some of them, but I was young.
Some of the Troughton episodes were, for their time, very good and scary - yetis roaming the London Underground system is one I remember well and it was well scary for it's time.
Pertwee was a great Doctor, too. That era, with the continuing story of the Brigadier (a descendent of whom appeared in a recent Capaldi episode IIRC), and the story The green death in particular, was a classic.
Ice warriors, Silurians, Cyber men, Daleks ... great enemies.

Early but they are for canon; the more modern Dr Who (especially with Tennant) is the best.

In the modern "reboot" era, Tennant was excellent, redefined the Doctor. Smith, Capaldi, not as good, which was disappointing. Eccleston had his moments.
Tom Baker still takes some beating, mind.

Could not stand Pertwee or Baker. Hartnell was the best of the early Doctors.

Someone watched Heaven (The name of a fictitious town in New England) ? That was mostly quite good, but a few seasons were weak compare to the others.

Strictly speaking this is a "series" ... Dune MiniSeries 2000. Its "sequel" series was in some ways even better, while in others not so much: Children of Dune.
Of course both are a bit removed from the original books. In which case the old Dune (1980s) was closer. Just wish the rest of the books would be continued in the same manner. Stuff like the God Emperor of Dune, the Heretics of Dune, etc. would give even more "epic" sagas.

I prism you're joking. Further, I'd like to inject that if you want to penicillin post to the lounge you'll get silly answers in return.

You haven't quite got the hang of "TotD" yet have you?

A person and I were discussing our jobs. I noted I work both the day shift and evening shift.
"Wow, you work long hours!" they exclaimned.
"No I don't," I qualified.
"But, you just said you work the day shift and the evening shift," they denoted.
I concurred, stating, "That's because I have a 5-speed."

I would have gone with
“No. My hours have 3600 seconds just like everybody’s.”
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

Was doing some work at home - assembling kit set furniture. History channel in the background and on comes some story about the JFK shooting, or more pointedly about LHO having help. About 45 minutes of the program played out, (and FMD it's it's just one ep. of a whole series!) literal repetition (as well as a myriad alternate ways of saying the same damn thing again) of the smallest items, in that 45 minutes I'd be surprised if there were maybe 2 minutes of actual story.
History Channel: a few good ideas but always taken way too far. Pawn Stars, Kounts Customs (whatever), Alone, that blacksmith show, Oak Island ... mega-yawn ... Even Vikings was stretched too far. (Haven't watch that Knight Templar series yet, looks OK but likely only the first one maybe two series will be good before it too becomes snooze fest material.)
But that LHO series, well it's crapola right out of the box; History Channel have outdone themselves by bringing us a complete utter steaming turd pile in a very first series.
And as dumb coincidence would have it in one break guess what, a trailer for the new Oak Island series - no I won't be watching that either
And finally the construction is complete, the 2nd half of which was carried out in silence [and a much improving mood]. FM!

And who appointed you to be a TV critic? 
Watch another channel, get yourself a trunkload of DVDs, direct your own videos and publish them on youtube (or watch cat videos there).
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
