You jest surely. Have you never seen "The Prisoner" or "Twin Peaks"?
While Twin Peaks was pretty good, (and I enjoyed the companion movie as well), I don't think it has the same level of achievement and homogeneity than Buffy and the Prisoner. It's more like a testbed for Lynch's next movies. Hopefully Lynch hasn't completely given away the idea of coming back to TV...
And Wild Palms was forgettable. Well, I saw it and now it is forgotten. QED. It was a shame really, I liked TP, the movie was okay. Although I can't say I ever got as wildly excited as some of my friends.
The Prisoner was great, dated far too easily, and it's a shame that no-one rated it when it came out so it died a very quick death in terms of production.
B5 is awesome. I didn't get into it when it first came out and now need to see it all the way through.
You may all get your rocks ready for this one, I expect a stoning from the zealots. (and Lusercop because he can't resist a good stoning)
Buffy the TV series is a far too pale imitation of the movie to ever really make me watch it. Basically it just pisses me off. The plots and characters are, quite frankly, a bag of shite. I figure that since any Buffy criticism is going to be met with a hail of bullets I may as well tell you guys what I tell my friends.
The worst thing they did was make it into a TV series. (Along with lots of other great movies like Highlander, American Grafitti etc etc).
