Well, I'm partial to Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. But, there are others I enjoy, eg Ace Drummond, The Phantom Empire, Don Winslow, Red Barry, Undersea Kingdom, Shadow of the Eagle, Tim Tyler's Luck, Return of Chandu, Hurricane Express, some others. Of the non-FG/BR serials, I tend to favor...The Phantom Empire, Ace Drummond, Don Winslow. The serials from yesteryear bring back a lot of memories.

I also liked some of the Universal Western Serials, and though I didn't like the westerns as much as the Sci-Fi stuff, they were still fun.
"Winners of the West," "Riders of Death Valley,"
"Overland Mail," etc.
And the same for these westerns outside of Universal.
"Zorro Rides Again," Zorro's Fighting Legion" "The Lone Ranger," "Zorro's Black Whip," "Ghost of Zorro."
