I'd pick Firefly, because... it's... really... shiny. 'nuff said.

Oh, I miss Seven Days, too.

Buffy and Angel aren't scifi, so no they don't count. Besides, were they even pulled prematurely?

I'm still amazed that they kept Sliders on as long as they did. I quit watching in the middle of the second season, just in time as I hear.

Dresden Files. I think it's in danger.

Firefly. Because Serenity was awesome and I want the series.

SG-1. I know it's legitimately ending and there will be movies. I also don't care. I still want my new Stargate fix.

And Atlantis as a knock-on-wood thing just in case.

"Legitimately ending?" They're gonna have to make not one, but TWO TV movies to tie up the loose ends. I don't call that legitimate. As much as I enjoy having new episodes, I'm forced to agree with the pundits who said "hey, they tied everything up nice and tidy with a bow at the end of Season Eight. Wouldn't that have been a nice way to end the series?"

Futurama, of course. That show had more internal consistency by accident than Trek had on purpose.

Legitimately ending meaning 'ending after a long run and not cancelled' not 'all loose threads tied up.' I quite agree that they should try and put it all in the series.

I also have to agree with Sa'ar. Futurama is gold.
