Oh, yes, I forgot about Farscape. Definitely a show I felt was written for me. Unlike a lot of people, it was the puppets/Henson that initially sold me on it. As well as Ben Browder/Claudia Black. In many ways, I think the richest space opera that's ever been filmed - that really makes full use of the "operatic" part of the equation.
Buffy - it's funny. I always loved it, as you know, but I also never quite felt it was written FOR me, except ironically in S4, when it seems most people had trouble relating to it. I was Buffy and her friends' exact age and was going through a hard time adjusting to college at the same time that they were, and I really felt like it was speaking directly to me at that moment. My HS experience, otoh, was very different than theirs, so while I always enjoyed the story, I never felt that Sunnydale HS hell mirrored the exact HS hell I was going through. And so it was really only 1 year that I felt connected to the show on every level, as opposed to very much enjoying it and loving to dig into its deeper levels.
SMASH - such a disappointment, although the original musical numbers rarely let me down. Honestly, if they started doing musical numbers on ONCE, it would be my favorite show of all time. ;)
