Star Trek. The next Generation and Deep Space 9 especially. Even though Babylon 5 is the better series and the early BSG Remake episodes were genius. The idea of humanity finally getting its act together and exploring the stars (while abandoning money and having people working in their aspirational fields on earth) just appeals to me on so many levels. Star Trek provided much needed escapism when I was a kid. That, and I can think of many good uses for a Holodeck. Full disclosure: I have read hundreds of Star Trek novels, only a few of which I'd actually describe as truly good reads. I only started getting into actually decent Sci Fi when I basically ran out of Trek books.
