I only recently got digital cable with access to G4/TTV. I was wondering how long I can enjoy seeing new-to-me series.
So far while I've had it they've shown
Dual
Serial Experiments Lain
Last Exile
Betterman
What are the ones I've yet to see? How would you rate then from best to worst?

I remeber Crest of The Stars and Silent Mobius being played a while ago, but that's all I can think of now.

Frankly, I would rank "Betterman" the worst, "Lain" at least had its occasional moments. I would also rank "Dual" a bit higher (much higher if you omit the 14th episode).
"Boogiepop Phantom" hasn't been mentioned so far. Also, AU has aired the movie version of the Armitage III OAVs ("Polymatrix").

Meh. I've got Lain, Exile, and Boogiepop on DVD. I'm not liking how they've sped the playback ever so slightly to the untrained eye/ear. It's like everyone took a tiny dose of helium.

G4TechTV needs to get some more series soon. Last Exile probably sucked up their old budget, but after the merger they should have enough money to afford one or two new series.

I honestly believe that Anime Unleashed has the best anime on American TV at the moment, and the only shows that can rank up there with Last Exile, Lain, and Boogiepop are FLCL, El Hazard: OAV 1 (is that still playing on the International Channel? I wish I had it) and a few of the Anime Network shows like RahXephon, Evangelion, and Azumanga Daioh, though I don't know if I should really count those. What really hurts Anime Unleashed is the commercial break structure, which I think would work better like CN's one large break in the middle instead of the multiple smaller breaks they have now. At any rate G4TechTV is doing the right thing by using Last Exile to it's fullest, because the show is really that good.

Tell me about it, plus their almost constant scrolling text box that takes the bottom 1/8 of the screen, ugh.
