The bigger problem was "shows you haven't listed that I have watched." I saw old Doctor Who, but not the new ones, and I missed most of the WB shows, and I think I maybe saw an episode of NCIS once. Maybe.
I could be wrong about BSG, but I think that (on the original show, anyway) there were Cylon aliens, and they were losing a battle, and built the Cylon robots and then all died. Or, um, something. And they all used silly invented words, like "centon" for minute and "frak" as a swear word. Clearly I know very little about the show, either, though I did watch it as a kid!
That is about the sum of Once a Thief, yes, though it was also based on a John Woo movie thing and thus had ridiculous fight scenes. I like to characterize them as "clowns on trampolines! with guns!" but actually those were two different fight scenes. Also there is a parody of the X-Files featuring Agents Clancy and Diller. And the Mulderish one calls Nick Lea's character "ratboy."
