Now there's a tricky question. Legolas Send a noteboard - 09/11/2011 08:28:51 PM
I'm not even gonna try to rank them, but I guess the following in no particular order:

- Rome
- Blackadder (seasons two through four)
- BtVS (I can't claim it objectively belongs there, but hey, it's a personal top 5)
- Firefly
- Absolutely Fabulous, at least its first season (I saw the later seasons first, and figured it was a decent show with great moments, it was years before I got around to watching the first season and realized that one was essentially nothing but great moments)

Honourable mentions for Lost, Yes (Prime) Minister, Coupling and Angel.

There are certainly some series named by others here that I still intend to see and fully expect to love, though, including West Wing, Sopranos, The Wire and Game of Thrones (well, not so sure about expecting to love that one).
