I'm a trekkie -- Grew up on repeats of ST:TOS and ST:TNG, but I really got into Babylon 5. Yes, it's old now, but it laid the groundwork for a lot of the Sci-fi shows that exist now (with regards to doing "new fangled CG" on a budget).
And the effects were not the heart of the story, either -- it was about people and their interactions, plus...actions have consequences. Heady stuff.
If you're lucky, you can catch the season sets on sale (fairly cheap).
