I saw Caprica, and I'm so sad they didn't run with it longer. All the others, meh, mostly TNG, but I'm not a huge fan. It tends to come off as a bit elitist to me, from time to time. I've seen a few clips from Black Adder (I had an instructor from the RAF years ago), and I thought it was delightfully funny, though probably as much because of the British accents as the actual content.
RAF... oh... he did good. Black Adder is awesome. 4 seasons, 6 episodes each season... not a lot of time to waste to gain hundreds of classic quotes.

Also, check out Allo Allo. Well worth it.
Love Allo Allo
One of my favorite scenes
Herr Flick and Helga are in Herr Flick's secret headquarters]
Helga: You're looking pensive Herr Flick.
Herr Flick: I'm trying to decide what to do with you tonight. I might take you to the movies.
Helga: What is showing?
Herr Flick: Anything we want. Or we could stay here and amuse ourselves. I have a box of sharp needles somewhere. (Helga looks a little nervous) Ah, here they are.
Helga: What have you in mind Herr Flick?
Herr Flick: I have an excellent gramophone, and many records of Hitler's speeches. They are quite amusing.
Helga: (surprised) Hitler's speeches, quite amusing?
Herr Flick: Played at double speed, he sounds like Donald Duck.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
