1. Firefly
Tough call, since I really like American Gothic. But, having rewatched it recently, it did have some pretty weak episodes, so going with Firefly

2. Profit
Kolchak is great, but the series really didn't build on the awesomeness of of the fils the way it should have and just became monster of the week (though had some truly great single episodes)

3. Happy Town
Haven't seen happy town, but didn't like the fugitive

4. Warehouse 13
Warehouse 13 is pretty fun

5. Twin Peaks
Twin Peaks is a classic for a reason

6. Harper's Island
I quite enjoyed HI.

7. Jim Henson's The Storyteller
Terminator was a good show, but had its chance and didn't really go anywhere with it.

8. Nowhere Man
Had a nice premise

Always remember, we were Heroes.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I very nearly changed my vote to Profit after reading about that show, but still gave the nod to Kolchak.

Profit

Happy Town

My So-called Life (I just have a hard time going with Warehouse 13 as it's still running.)

Twin Peaks: Easiest choise so far

Harper's Island

When Bubbawheat started the draft he did say shows that are on air right now could be included. It was my understanding WH13 was currently in limbo as far as a renewal goes.

No, it's currently running Season 2. If you're not watching it, you should be.
