What would replace your knowledge of Star Trek?

I'd put Star Trek right back in again. it would be a blast to be able to watch each episode for the first time again...
Same here.
I'd also love to expand my mathematical knowledge, though to be honest my problem is more a lack of aptitude than a lack of knowledge.
Star Wars. The only thing that holds me back from full blown Star Wars geekery is that my brain is stuffed to capacity with Star Trek.
Dr. Who doesn't require as much space. There isn't the same factlets upon factlets effect with Dr. Who that Star Trek and Star Wars have.

Soccer (that's English football!) or Harry Potter probably.
Aren't these the same thing??
I might try and watch tennis and/or golf. 
Are ya' kiddin' me laddie?!? Doctor Who is the longest-running Sci-Fi franchise ever; 1963-1989, 1996, 2005-present. The original run is really hard to sit though though.
I've got the Star Trek and Stargate universes in my head, with room for more.
I've watched several seasons of the new Who and I intend to watch the whole thing. I just haven't found anywhere near the amount of factlets you get with Trek and Wars. I'm talking about all the stuff stuffed in my head about alien races, history of worlds, foods, phrases, ships, words in klingon etc.. while Who has races that you see again and again they seem to have a lot more one off eps. It is really (to my limited viewing anyway) mostly about the Doctor and his companion. 40+ years of Vulcan history and development seems to be more fact filled. I feel the same way about Babylon 5 which ran 5 seasons, not as many facts to stuff in my head.
I imagine either I’d revert back to the days where without checking I knew practically everything about The Simpsons Seasons 1 to 13 or the complete series of X-Files.
I’d say Stargate SG1 – I received the entire series in December, and still need to watch most of it – but since it was presented to me as ‘an alternative to Star Trek’ that might not work.

Wow. Um.
Maybe my AP European History textbook so that I won't have to worry about the midterm this Monday.

Yeah, you've got me there, but when you go through the whole thing, you'll notice that there is *very* little contradiction. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but the later series is true to the older one's canon. Something I wish Trek could've done. Ah well.
I just remembered another universe in my head: Foundation. Isaac Asimov's Foundation/Empire/Robot universe is *huge*, especially if you include the novels written by other authors in-universe. I guess you could say if I were to replace Trek, it would be with Foundation.
Oatmeal.
And Star Wars.
But mainly oatmeal.

I am loving Dr. Who! Blown away by the excellent sci-fi of many eps. Really enjoyable stuff.

Star Wars. I want to say science, but that's too hard.
