Well, I just saw the...uh, new....Battlestar Galactica...
saint:
I had such high hopes for Caprica, was very disappointed. However, I thought they were just starting to get to where it might be getting interesting. I was sad to see it cancelled. If the second season had been like the first I'd have given up, but I thought it had unrealized potential. I was ticked off completely when they gave up on the new show also ...

Mind you I agree with you, but I'll play devil's advocate.
Any of the Star Treks
The Mid-Seasons of Star Gate SG1
Definately Star Gate Universe
Farscape
As dumb as it was.. Heroes
Firefly
Doctor Who
Torchwood
I'm sure there are more, I just can't think of anymore off the top of my head.
As someone previously stated, a lot of the BSG reboot was held together purely on superior actors who gave superior performances. The acting on that show was probably better than any other scifi show I can think of. But when you start looking at the plot is where the whole thing falls apart. In the beginning there was this whole mystery as to why the cylons had taken human form and why they wiped out the colonies and the show keeps building suspense based on that mystery..... and they stretch it too thin.... and it falls on it's face with a terrible explaination that makes no sense what-so-ever.
I think everybody should watch the first season... they can skip the second... better watch the third... you probably should skip the ending unless you enjoy throwing things at your tv. ;)
shponglefan:
Season 1 was hit and miss. Seems like they were still figuring things out, particularly the tone of the show. Season 2 was fantastic.
Liked the ending, but thought the very very end (i.e. the very last scenes) were pointless. It's like they were trying to give the series an even broader scope, but it felt unnecessary.

There aren't any. I have a hard time going back and watching most things from my youth, for the same reason. Some slight sci-fi-y exceptions are Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, just because they're fun.
Howard_Casto:
I'm trying very hard not to give things away but I don't know how anyone with a rational mind could have liked the ending.
It was like saying the cylons were made by Santa Claus..... the reasons there were human cylons? Santa Claus. All those cryptic clues that were just forgotten about and never resolved? Well you know how Santa Claus can be.
It was a lazy writer's way of working themselves out the massive corner they had walked into via all of the stupid plot twists.
