I'm pretty sure there's a universal law about people with kids and things that require ~50 mins of uninterrupted alert concentration. That might be a stumbling block for Jay as well, since he's got a tiny poopmachine of his own now. I know even my buddy with a 3 year old can't do anything for more than 20 minutes without his daughter demanding his attention (or his wife demands his attention shift to his daughter) or he falls asleep.

Did you at least manage to stay awake from season 2 on?I was falling asleep well before my usual falling asleep time however. My kids are old enough now that as long they aren't killing each other I don't get worn out dealing with them, and I don't need to give them all manner of attention, I just like to be able to *hear* the TV.
Never cared for Stargate either, but I friggin' loved Babylon 5. My old roommates were fanatics for SG-1, so I'd always have to find something else to do when the SG-1athons began.DON'T JUDGE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Other than Star Trek and Star Wars as well as Fox screwing up Firefly, my Sci-fi experience is pretty limited.
I've been watching BSG and I like it. I want to start setting up the next few series.
Stargate didn't sell me, maybe I'll check Season 1. Babylon 5 sounds interesting. It's on my list now. Thanks.
I'm open to new suggestions.
Wife and I have been watching Community as well. I'm midway in Season 2. Season 1 was pretty good, the 2nd one is weaker in our opinion. I hope it gets better.
Another series I loved (but haven't watched since it first aired) is Space: Above and Beyond. I don't even need to try to rewatch it to know it won't hold up. It's probably still fun. It was basically a Wing Commander tv show that had them as ground pounders too....for no discernible reason. It's 90's as fuck and ends on cliffhanger before being Foxed into cancellation (Firefly wasn't the first).
I'll say this, the hammerheads in Space look WAY cooler than the vipers in BSG. Cylon raiders look cooler than Chig fighters though.
Holy shit, reading back through Wikipedia now on Space, BSG and Space had a lot of similarites. Scar = Chiggy Von Richthofen for example.

FarScape is a pretty fun scifi show, though it does have a slow ep here and there. All in all though I enjoyed it.
The last episode of season 5 was going to be the last episode of season 4, but they got renewed for the fifth, so it was postponed. I still haven't seen the last 3 episodes, something about them being "cable-only" after I lost my cable.
Also, I predict @Jay will watch it and complain that Garibaldi didn't get more screen time. I'm calling this now.

Are we including the gas leak year?
Finished Breaking Bad. (YES, I KNOW IT TOOK FOREVER!)
And...
Also, just want to say I'm pretty proud that I managed to be spoiler-free coming into the end here. Had to avoid a few websites like the plague when it ended, but I somehow managed it.

House of Cards: season 2! I'm up to episode 7. Holy crap. I don't know who is the bigger sociopath, Francis or Claire.
Downton Abby: season 4. I've gotten to episode 2. Eh. I don't know. It's starting to get stale.

House of Cards was some fantastic crazy awesomeness.
Downton Abby: Needs to heap more horrible stuff on Edith. Thats what we are all there for. Seriously though, it actually turns into a pretty solid season.
She needs some happiness. I don't see that happening with Gregson though. :/

Fuck, I didn't realize Community was back.
And crap, I need to finish season 1 of Hannibal. Should hit disc 3 in another episode.

I have no idea what you are talking aboutNah, but I'm loving True Detective
DO IT! The ending is amazing.
Season 2 started off cool, and just the right amount of trippy elk imagery!
Parks and Recreation. Wait, did they just have an episode where Jerry/Gary/Larry wasn't the butt of a joke in every scene he was in and had another main character enjoy spending time with him? 
Caught up on Community. Although by itself it probably only made up 2 to 3 minutes of the episode, Chang's side story was what made the episode.
"Hey! Those guys in there told me you're the one that died in a fire and you're a ghost!"
"And you believe them? You believed a bunch of ghosts?"
