I myself actually hope TIVO doesn't catch on...not because I don't use it and love it, but because of the consequences if everyone uses it. I'd much rather it just remain for the techy masses and everyone else who doesn't know what they are missing can suffer through the commercials.
I'm sure there will eventually be widespread adoption and the consequences will be felt all around, but the longer that it is delayed the better.
Well Babylon 5 is definitely the best of the scifi and is doing reruns on the sci-fi channel (but you really should catch it starting at the first episode since the stories follow and arc). There's also a new Rangers series coming out next year with a movie coming out near the end of this summer I think. Something definitely to check out.
Other good shows to check out would be Stargate-SG1 and Earth: Final Conflict (it's gone downhill for awhile, but it still good compared to the other crap out there).
Farscape is decent as a show and probably sci-fi channels best original series. I just hate Lexx myself (maybe if you like a "comedy" type scifi show that it's so bad you can laugh at it you'll like it).
Andromeda is a questionable show and I'm still unsure about recommending it. Most of the episodes have been rather bad but it has some good ones here and there. Hopefully it'll turn into an ok show.
Damn, so they're releasing this (the crappy cd version with 4 cds but all the other goodies) and they supposedly will release a full dvd version later that combines the 4 cds onto one (and probably some other stuff). Now how am I supposed to choose between these now. This sucks.

How's that for selfish motives.
