If you like Sci-Fi, may I also suggest Farscape if you can find it anywhere? The initial premise of the show just sounds absolutely ABSURD. Main character (John Crighton) gets flung across the universe through a wormhole and ends up on a living ship (called a Laviathan) and is surrounded by a crew of....well muppets and aliens (Jim Henson Company was behind it). It just sounds stupid, but it was one of THE BEST sci-fi shows at the time. It ended too soon as well (I think it was 4 seasons, but they had a lot more in them when it ended) thankfully, it got a really good mini-series to finish off all the loose story lines.
