From those "damm Kids" of Scooby -Doo riding around in a van with no parents in site and Shaggy looking like he just smoked some weed to the great 2001 Space Odyssy. I watched almost all of these including Lost In Space(hahaha) but I came onto Buffy later on and it is quite a good show. Star Trek is my favourite-all of them plus the movies. The original Frankenstein and The Werewolf films scared the heck out of me. I would also watch all the B films from the 1950's from Attack of the 50ft Woman to Attack of the Killer Shrews. Someone mentioned Blake 7 and I loved that show!

I think one of the things I enjoyed about it is making connections between stories and books I've read by all of you and the shows and movies you chose. It was really cool to make those connections and see the influences more clearly. :) I was a huge fan of the original Scooby Doo and so much of Star Trek (although not all, I admit), but I think my biggest and earliest influences had to be Star Wars and the animated Peter Pan - I started making up my own fan fiction extras for those stories when I was five or six years old.
