Re: Caprica
I wonder sometimes if the idea would be better explored in alternative media (novels, comics etc.) Part of what intrigued me was the culture of the colonies, things that bore people with short attention span.
Aside. Whoever told Alessandra Torresani that the peroxide blond looks good on her should be shot. In public.
I'd add
13 War of the Worlds.
14 Brimstone
15 New Amsterdam.

11. Terriers
12. Alcatraz (What? I liked it.)
Terriers was so good!!! At least the ending was nice and enigmatically cliffhangerly. But the kind of unresolved cliffhanger where there were several good possiblities, but not knowing what happened and just imagining what could have happened might be for the best.

The Event - only thing wrong with it was the TWO MONTH break in the middle to show for that Cape rubbish. WAY TO GO NBC! Morons.
Flash Forward - What? I liked it. Couldn't follow it? Not my problem, I could.
Prey - Debra Messing before comedy, before Will and Grace, and she was cute!
Threshold - alien invasion from the fourth dimension. They were coming in on a frequency! Precursor to the "basilisk hacks" in Eclipse Phase! Peter Dinklage and Bret Spiner and a hot chick. This was a great American tragedy.
Brimstone - John Glover as Satan. Sigh...

Oh, Nm, googled it. Seems this UltraViolet was a british vampire thing done back in 1998?
Yes, it was a Brit mini-series. It was quite good. But you can't exactly count it because it was never intended to go beyond one story arc. The BBC does mini-series like that (and Jeckyl, which was quite good).

There waa a show about a different more powerful type of humans taking over, I don't remember the name
That was Prey, which I mentioned above. Not trying to zing you. :) I didn't mention what the show was about.
It wasn't high-tech scifi, but it was about a new species of human being, that looked like us.. but we were like neanderthals to them. Evolution happoening right under our noses. It was kind of mature scifi, very character driven.

Firefly.
I agree with The Event, and with Threshold.
Happytown.
Also, Firefly.
I saw posted somewhere, maybe here, that every episodic television series should have a "four-episode" run-out clause in its contract, wherein if it gets cancelled, the writers get four episodes to wrap up all the loose endings in a neat and tidy way.
This idea is brilliant.
EDIT: Oh, and John Doe.
And Firefly.

It has a young be-mulleted Stephen Moyer as a vampire!
Talk about being type-cast...

The Dresden Files
Ugh - only if they promised to recast/rewrite every single character on it including Dresden (the guy had the look but Dresden was never a whiny emo in the books). And Susan/Karin were completely miscast to the point where one should have been playing the others role.

I tried watching it on Netflix, but I just couldn't get into it.
