I think The Twilight Zone is the best program that's ever been on television.

I am so glad you said that. I was starting to think that no one here had ever heard of Northern Exposure. I was watching the episode about feminism where Maggie finds the native artifacts in her yard when I posted this thread, hoping that someone would be able to lead me to another show that even compares.

Alright, now I'm convinced to see it. Though I would reccomend checking out The Decalouge series, they're all on YoutubeI take it you haven't see Northern Exposure. . .

I love Northern Exposure. I don't know if it's the best ever, according to your definition, but I know I love it. Haven't seen it in awhile; I would love to own it. Currently I am in love with Dexter; I think this is their best season so far.

I love Fringe these days. I am upset that it isn't on tonight. Stupid Thanksgiving. :-)

I love Sci-Fi shows. I'm currently watching V and FlashForward.

Do you watch Fringe then? If not, I highly recommend it. Fox. Thursday nights.

Yes, I've heard of it, but I've never seen an episode yet. I'll probably gonna give the show a chance and start watching from the pilot until next Thursday.

I've been meaning to watch the new V, how is that??
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
I watched the first 4 episodes on Hulu, mainly because the original V mini-series was THE television event of my middle school years. Eh, it's not great, but it's not terrible either. The acting is pretty strong (Elizabeth Mitchell, in particular, is very good), so it's possible the show may improve after it returns from its hiatus.

V is very good.
I love the show because it kinda has a similarity to a fad that we're always hearing about these days. What that fad is, I won't tell because it might spark some sensitive passion amongst our younger folks.If you look closer, you'll know what I mean.
Anyway, another thing that I love about this show is that each episode is interesting and exciting. The characters are fine and seem to have a good sense of their own (except for Tyler, gosh I hate him). The graphics are great for a television show as well. It feels like I'm watching a movie because they way they filmed it is for that of a feature film which is a plus point for me. I suppose it will get much fascinating once it gets back, though. I think the first month is just for introducing the characters and get a basic idea for what's about to come (for those who are unfamiliar about the story).
I haven't seen the old mini-series yet. I got the DVD just in case if I decided to watch. I'm interested to know the original because the remake is quite decent in my opinion. But I know that originals are always the best.
I agree with you about Elizabeth Mitchell. Although at first, I thought she wasn't good for the role of an FBI agent, because she was too feminine in the first couple of episodes, but I like her character now.
