Hello Hivemind,

I am curious about what currently in broadcast run SF/F television shows you are watching, and which one you think are good. I would like your recommendations, as I plan to watch a few of these shows, request shooting scripts from the production companies, and then write some spec scripts. Thanks.

Of course I'll say Doctor Who - I run a fan meetup.

I'm also really loving Being Human (the UK version) and I consider Fringe a MUST SEE from the beginning on out. Arthur (UK) is fun, and lets you see Anthony Head again, but I don't consider it on the level of the other two programs.

I would love to write for Doctor Who but I get the sense that they do most of their stuff "in house." there are also unique challenges of writing for a show in the U.K. while living in the USA Midwest. I'll start with show on U.S. TV first. I would consider Fringe more except it just got moved to a time-slot that kills shows.
