Simply based on the idea for the show which do you think is the best? Given the same acting talent, sfx budget, etc, which would have ended up being the best show?
Haven't seen much of any of those shows, but I can say right away that Andromeda would be the worst and should under no circumstance EVER be resurrected as a movie or in any other form.
Crusade!
It had sooo much potential - a killer storyline which could have run for years and characters you knew and cared about even after 13 episodes.
Seven Days was also amazing too; but I don't think enough was done to make the backstep that interesting every week and the Mr Parker/Olga thing got old very quickly.
I think the best premise was EFC. Ultimately the execution failed but idea was fascinating.
I think Dark Angel was a pretty good idea too. Once again though....execution issues.

Firefly, a western in space, east meets west series*puts complete set of FOX executives over VERY hot flame*
Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

Firefly definitely had a lot of potential. The episodes we did get were topnotch and the movie totally rocked.
What TNT did to B5:Crusade makes me weep. If they just would have left JMS alone to do his best, it would have rocked. They trusted him enough to pick up B5 when it was prematurely cancelled. They should have trusted his vision on Crusade. *sigh*
Earth 2 was good - and IMO, original - I was sorry it got axed.
Space: Above and Beyond was also an excellent show with an interesting storyline. Fox sucks.

What happened with Crusade? Did the execs meddle with it?
Regarding Crusade: They aired the episodes in the wrong order, they interfered non-stop in all decisions. They wanted alot more action from episode one, they wanted alot more Tits and Ass and hot babes.
