at least before they had to lose some time for commercials. Catchy theme (almost as good as "The Jetsons") and gags.

14. "Beauty and the Beast".... |
|
And "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Both were essentially morality plays without playing to specific religious belief system - a sort of non-theistic moralism if you will. Not to mention both series were well written works of character exploration (IMO)...
Then again, I may be taking this thread more seriously than intended. I blame the vodka! ;)

It sets the tone for the historic period and the utter weirdness of the plot.
