It never garnered critical praise like Battlestar or Farscape, but it didn’t need that to still be a brilliant show full of interesting, funny characters that fans could follow and love over the years. It always had a sense of humor and it was a pleasure to actually watch character evolve over the years. It took an interesting concept from a movie and just… went so far beyond it. No Federation, no ships (at least in the early days), no funky space weapons… just people of today exploring the galaxy.

And, even if the last few years aren’t considered as “good” as the earlier stuff, it was still, by far, a better show than most of the crap on television.

I for one will miss it greatly.
