Save the Stargate! SG1 cancelled!
Inlander:
Was that the vampire one?
KharBevNor:
Yar.
Seriously, I re-watched it a couple of weeks ago, and it is some seriously awesome stuff. It's the balance of the morality. You're never quite sure which side you should be backing. There's also the bold reality of it all. Buffy, for example, doesn't quite seem to exist in a world where paedophiles or stock market scams could play a major part in the plot.
Oh yeah, and consistent internal logic, no plot holes, brilliant design, fantastic casting and acting, good music, great cinematography, subtle use of effects etc. etc.
The first two points alone elevate it above 95% of genre series.
Inlander:
I always got the impression that was only meant to go for six episodes. It seemed pretty self-contained.
KharBevNor:
True, true. But it could have been expanded. Always the danger of fecking it up, of course. I believe they tried to develop a US version and didn't get beyond the pilot.

Hell. They should just drop the pretense and make MacGyver 2525. I want to see him built a warp drive out of a bong and a can of spray cheese...
Or maybe I just want a bong and a canister of spray cheese.
