I don't really have fandoms in TV, but 10 favorite shows in my past (haven't had a TV for years now)
1) Anything Jacques Cousteau
2) Sealab 2020, a cartoon about an underwater colony of scientists -- that's what I wanted to be as a little geek girl
3) Star Trek -- most of the iterations, except Janeway never did it for me
4) Tour of Duty -- Thanks for the reminder, wiseheart. That was a special show, and for America, I think it was culturally an important marker: we could actually have a show on commercial TV about Vietnam that showed a lot of the ambiguities
5) Stargate - original -- don't think I've seen more than an episode or two of the later ones
6) Cadfael series (seen on public television in the US)
7) Arthur of the Britons -- saw it as a kid in NZ. As I've described it elsewhere, a young, grubby Arthur and his grubby companions -- Saxon Kai and his adoptive Welsh father, Llud -- all riding around a grubby, not-at-all-great Britain
8) Early St. Elsewhere which, I discovered when I moved here, was modeled on the medical facility that houses my current academic employer

Haven't read for fun enough to have favorites in books, but I have enjoyed the odd Cadfael novel and remember being enchanted by the ecology of the magic system in the Earthsea trilogy. I also must have bought and read just about every paperback spinoff from the Space: 1999 series in my teens. No accounting for my "tastes"!
