The prompt is A series that changed your life or affected your life in some way or is personal to you.
No rules, outside of the prompt. It's impossible to do otherwise - for me at least.
I picked the Sixth Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - why? Well, we most likely would never have met otherwise. It got me through a difficult time in my life - but mostly the fandom did - and S6 was my entry point into the fandom (even though I'd been watching the series since it aired in 1997, I just didn't get involved in the fandom until 2002.)

When the original ended, I was still only eight years old, and the true significance of the series, the true weight of its ideas, hadn't fully sunk into my brain. So what solidified my Trekkie credentials, and sparked my love of science fiction in general? When did I realize what Trek really meant?
Star Trek: The Animated Series is kind of the lost relative of the Trek family. Produced by Filmation Studios with unbearably cheap looking animation, the series nonetheless crackled with ideas. It brought back the voices of most of the original cast, with scripts from David Gerrold, D.C. Fontana and Larry Niven(!). The Enterprise met and befriended the Devil, and traveled to a universe where time ran backwards and black stars shone in a white sky; Spock revisited his childhood on Vulcan and discussed life and death with his own titanic clone.
It was all weird and wonderful and helped set me off on the path of exploration:
