Hey guys. Just finished the Sopranos and now I need a new show to delve into. I love Fantasy/Sci-fi so I know I'm most likely gonna like either show. Please help me pick the next one to start!

Silly fun or one of the three best drama series of all time--no contest.

Both

I think you're overstating it a bit calling Battlestar Galactica "silly fun".

Buffy

If you want great sci-fi try Babylon 5.

If you enjoyed the Muppet Show, give Farscape a shot!

This.

Buffy and BSG are both great, too. Honestly, whichever order you watch them in, all 3 are shows you should owe yourself to see before you die. Of the two, I say go with BSG first, since Buffy will take up more time, especially if you end up adding in 5 seasons of Angel (which you'll probably want to do once you get hooked).

Buffy is my choice, BSG is too long and does not have enough humor for me.

I can watch one Buffy show, then move on with my life. BSG is not a watch on show and movie on type show.

Shows that go on and on take to long to invest myself info them. I think this attitude 1st started with LOST, now I have shows like LOST that take to long to end.

Buffy. No contest.

Agreed. I love that show.

Buffy and BSG are both great and I cannot choose between either of them. Either way you go, you are in for a treat.

Both are great in their way, and you should watch both when you can. I think both shows take turns for the worse as they go along, but of the two BSG is a lot easier to marathon. It seems built on a foundation of making the viewer just have to see what comes next. Buffy is a bit more episodic in nature (though it does have larger plot arcs that span seasons).

Battlestar, easily IMO. I tried but just couldn't get into Buffy's oh-so-precious cutesyness. I did like Angel and Firefly though.

Battlestar Galactica

If you want to gouge your own eyeballs out about a season and a half in, go Battlestar.

If you want to watch an amazing show that helped shape modern TV, go Buffy.

Battlestar.

Buffy.

You should read this thread too

bsg, b5, farscape, or x-files (which to watch first?)

I vote both, but it depends on what you're in the mood for. If you want something with more levity after a heavy show like the Sopranos, go Buffy. You will get far more comedy mixed in with your drama.

If you want to stay with a darker, even more dramatic show, go BSG. Far less humor there, but definitely a kickass show too.

The problem with Buffy is that you'll most likely want to watch Angel after you get done.

Buffystar Galactica - I'd watch it!

Experience them in the same order that most of us did...Buffy/Angel then BSG.

Though as someone else said, BSG is easier to marathon.

They're both hit & miss - though Buffy hits a lot more often than BSG, and BSG misses (and misses hard) far more than Buffy.
