I haven't guess-voted this much since the last mid-term elections...
Current Badge Hunter: Plot Device (Rad/Thermal/Dark) - 1,268 Xbox Live: Friggin Taser
King of Electricity, Lead Inmate running the Carl and Sons asylum, the "Man" behind the Establishment, Given Honor in Hat Form By Paragon City (Favorite Forum Poster 2006!), Master of Ceremonies of the Fair Use Law podcast
Firefly got pushed into wildcard territory because there were 22 picks that I deemed "sci-fi" so those that random.org gave a number higher than 16 went into the wildcard category.
Brisco County Jr. might have made a better wildcard choice.

BTW - UltraTroll: you have to make a choice in every match up or none of your choices will count.
Space: Above and Beyond
Vaguely remember this show, but remember enjoying it.
Crusade
Not as good as B5, but still a pretty good show.
The Prisoner
Eerie, Indiana
Need to watch this again sometime.
Misfits of Science
Haven't seen it, but seems like an interesting premise.
Dead at 21
Gotta go with my pick, even though no one else has probably heard of it.
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr
My wife enjoyed Moonlight, but gotta go with Bruce.
Dollhouse
Love this show.
Directly abstaining from vote. I don't know the shows well enough to have a meaningful statement on the matter. Good luck to everyone! 
1. Kindred the Embraced
2. Flashforward
3. The Prisoner
4. Eerie, Indiana
5. The Dresden Files
6. Dead at 21
7. Brisco County Jr.
8. Dollhouse
Jail.Bird
Kindred the Embraced
Flashforward
Prisoner
Eerie, Indiana
Dresden Files
Threshold (Had not seen either of these so, coin flip)
Brisco County Jr.
Dollhouse

Check out one of my most recent arcs:
457506 - A Very Special Episode - An abandoned TV, a missing kid's TV show host and more
416951 - The Ms. Manners Task Force - More wacky villains, Wannabes. things in poor taste
or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
1. Space: Above and Beyond
2. Crusade - Following up on its premise would've always been tricky, and sadly Flashforward kind of lost its way. Plus I'm such a ***** for B5.
3. The Prisoner
4. Eerie, Indiana
5. Misfits of Science - I only started watching Misfits thanks to this draft, but it's exactly the kind of show I would've loved to see when I was younger.
6. Threshold - I liked elements of Threshold, I wish I'd seen it while it was on TV.
7. The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr - Because Bruce.
8. Harsh Realm - Unlike a certain other Whedon show, Dollhouse got a fair chance and squandered it. Most of that first season was a waste of time.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
Some tough ones here, but here goes!
1. Space: Above & Beyond
The hardest pick, IMHO. I was playing Vampire: Masquerade at the time, so I had high hopes for Kindred, which it only somewhat fulfilled. While S:A&B was military fiction, not my usual cup of tea, but it had very nice effects for TV and it didn't sugarcoat anything.
2. Crusade
I loved B5, I would have loved this (I hope) if they had been allowed to flesh it out more.
3. The Prisoner
Don't care much here, but it has the cult following.
4. Man from Atlantis
The cheesy vote, but Patrick Duffy went shirtless most of the time.
5. The Dresden Files
Even though the TV series had little in common with the book series. My PnP gaming group just started playing the RPG based on the book series, looks fun so far.
6. Threshhold
I flipped a coin.
7. Brisco County
Every time and forever - Bruce is da man!
8. Harsh Realm
Didn't care much either way, but I'm not a big Eliza Dushku fan.

Shadowy Presence - Absolutely, positively worse than playing a Kheldian... --Myrmydon
1. Space: Above and Beyond
Almost picked this one myself
2. Crusade
This is my pick, and one of the true great losses for Sci-Fi. It had sooo much potential.
3. The Prisoner
No question for this one, its one of the greats.
4. Eerie, Indiana
Very fun, very creepy kids show, with a great cast
5. Misfits of Science
Have only ever seen the pilot of this one, but it was awesomly fun, and the electric rock n roll guy was one of my favourite characters as a kid.
6. Threshold
Saw a few episodes and thought it was pretty fun.
7. The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr
Great premise + weirdness + Bruce = teh win
8. Harsh Realm!!
Didn't like Dollhouse that much, whereas Harsh Realm had a quite interesting idea.
Always remember, we were Heroes.

Perhaps it's been mentioned before, but I don't see how anything here could beat the Prisoner.
