After returning to New Zealand I began work at a technology firm, and am now officially the most Boring Person in Australasia.

Seven Days: Pilot: Part 1 (1998)
A guilty pleasure ...
This is the show that, despite everything that is wrong with it, I still consistently enjoy.
Don't get me wrong, the writing is cheesy and the actors cringe their way through their lines. The production values vary, but have a tendency to look computer generated and / or cheap whenever anything interesting happens on screen.
But somehow ... I find myself watching, and enjoying, this addled mess. It may not provide the same sophisticated satisfaction that the West Wing or The Shield may provide, but this is fine cheese-fest television entertainment.
Odyssey 5: Pilot (2002)
Surprisingly good, unfortunately cancelled.
Accidentally catching the pilot for this show on late night TV, I decided to give it a chance in lieu of the infomercials playing on other channels.
I was lucky that I did. From the moment the Earth explodes this show dares to be different, with charismatic acting and witty scripting. It is rare to find a television show that explores hard-sf ideas, and even more rare to find one that is actually entertaining.
If you have ever wished that sf was as smart, well-presented and entertaining as the Sopranos then your wish is fulfilled.
Unfortunately, this show was canceled after it's first season. (A surprising move, given that it was Showtimes second-highest rated show.)
