B5 did it reasonably well given that it was TV (ie: scientifically it
was
better than nothing....) - the EA ships didn't have anything apart from
spin habitats until the White Star with its Minbari tech. One of the TV
movies (IIRC, "In the Beginning") has a couple of nice zero-G scenes on
the
bridge of Sheridan's old Hyperion class. I don't THINK the Narn ships
have
AG either, at least you always see the crew strapped in.....

2001/2010 got it pretty well, with the Discovery's carousel and the
Leonov's spin habitat.
Offhand I can't think of any others that don't have "implied" AG
(excepting
factual stuff like Apollo 13 of course....) ;-)
