He's a huge sci-fi fan, but more novels than television.
I think the later seasons are stronger, but I wouldn't think you'd want to start too late. (Although we started watching Buffy at season 4 and look how we turned out.) I think the funny episodes work better if you know the characters, although they tend to be my favorites. The Way We Weren't might be a good choice. Not too far along, gives some backstory, nice and dark (if he's a fan of Buffy & Angel).
