Firefly
I first watched Firefly a few years after it was released and thoroughly enjoyed it. I watched it a second time with my teenage sons, and have now completed a third run with my teenage daughter. I enjoyed it just as much as I had the first two times, and it was an added delight to see my 13 yr old daughter fall head over heels for the characters. This is the genius of Firefly of course, the cast of characters (and, to be fair, the really good actors who portray them, although surprisingly few of them went on to great things...) Having said that, I wonder if part of the brilliance of Firefly isn't its premature demise. The show barely had time to find its stride, but it sure never had time to become boring, let alone jump the shark. I'll need grandkids for a fourth watching in 15 years...
