Stargate. Hands down. The movie was intriguing, but the show is fantastic.

Stargate for sure. Sorry to see this one go as well. Most consistently good non-comedy series I have seen in a long time.

Buffy!!!
lol
depending on who you talk to they eather love it or hate it ,
I'm in the second group.

But tv Buffy is much hotter then movie Buffy.

I hate Buffy the show. I haven't seen the movie.
Stargate the movie was IMO much better than the show. First of all, in the show every alien civilization speaks English

the stargate show is great.
i thought the movie was a little dull.

trell, you are crazy! no way is Sara Michelle Gellar better looking than Kristy Swanson.

Trell · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2003, 04:45:01 PM »

I know i am crazy but not about that.

Sara Michelle Gellar is beautifull.
a hell of a lot better than Swanson.
swanson is not even in the same class.

Hmm I have to admit I have watched the highlander TV series on and off for a few years, but it in no way comes close to the first Highlander movie IMO....

Ok the rest of the highlander movies... bad...

Christy Swanson rules. Buffy (the movie) is worth watching... the TV show sucked.

And the original "Highlander" movie kicked as on the tv show. The rest of the movies sucked... but the original was in a different league.

Here's one to think about: M*A*S*H*. I loved the movie... couldn't stand the series... though it ran for 10+ years.

Oh... the star trek series WERE better than the movies.

Buffy for sure....great show..

I'm a huge fan of SG1, but I loved the movie as well...had a hard time getting over the TV carbon copy of James Spader, at least Richard Dean Anderson had the common sense to make O'Neill his own...

Highlander competely blew after the first movie (including the TV show).

I totally agree with Mash, hated the show - love the movie,
"Classic" Startrek was better then the movies (maybe Khan the exception), the Next Gen the same (except possibly First Contact)
