OT - Good sci fi TV shows?

[thorfrog]

Well here is my top 10 sci-fi shows:
10. Buck Rogers in 25th Century season 1 (bu, Buck)
9. Dr. Who (all time classic pbs show)
8. Six Million Dollar Man
7. B5 Crusade (awesome start. Why cancel??)
6. Star Trek Next Gen
5. Enterprise (It's coming along)
4. Star Trek DS9 (Dominion war saved this one)
3. Battlestar Galactica season 1
2. Star Trek TOS (just great!)
1. Babylon 5 (the ultimate story line)

The top 10 worst Sci-fi shows:
10. Andromeda (Need I say more?)
9. Babylon5: Legend of the Rangers (We want Crusade)
8. Lost in Space (danger, danger!!)
7. Star Trek Voyager (pushover Borg)
6. Earth 2 (I think I saw this drunk once)
5. Sliders (good start, what happened?)
4. SeaQuest (trek underwater)
3. Buck Roger in the 25th Century season 2 (total crap, space midgets stripping Wilma was cool!)
2. Battlestar Galactica 1980 (Yikes?!)
1. Earth: Final Conflict (Does anyone know what this was about?)

I dont think Starship Troopers can really be described as being deep and profound. If I know Paul Verhoeven's movies, he probably picked beautiful people to emphasise the fact that the bugs were ripping them limb from limb......

I remember the midgets stripping Wilma Deering, pity is you didn't see anything other than a brief shot of her blouse being undone... bugger

Anyone ever heard of Starhunter??? I saw it like at 2am on a monday. Pretty bad.

Also, wasn't there supposed to be some new series starting with some acclaimed director or something. It was gonna be like a cross western/space pirates or something. I remember it was being pretty hyped up a couple months ago.

Maybe the pilot bombed.

You're thinking of Joss (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Whedon's Firefly.

It was cancelled, mainly because the Fox network execs didn't understand its potential.

Fox is the kiss of death to Sci-Fi. LOL

I heard that they are going to be the host of the new Battlestar Galactica. I also heard that they "re-imagined" the story, and Starbuck is a girl.

That would tend to sound like the kind of story-rape that Fox would buy.

How's this for a strange (and a bit obscure) list of Sci-Fi TV shows...

1) Logan's run
2) Planet Earth (Based on Genisis by Rodenbery!)
3) U.F.O.
4) V
5) Time Tunnel
6) Lost in space
7) My favorite martian
8) Red Dwarf
9) Tekwar
10) Earth 2 (I thought this one had potential!)
11) 7 Days
12) Earth:Final Conflict
13) Robocop
14) The Martian Cronicles
15) Mork and Mindy

..I also seem to remember a short lived TV series based on the planet of the apes, but I might be getting it confused with the original movies!

More recently, I have been watching..

1) Andromeda (Great!)
2) Stargate SG1 (Fantastic!)
3) Enterprise (Getting better!)
4) Total Recall: 2070 (Just plain fun!)
5)..and many show in re-runs.. ST:TOS, ST:TNG, STS9, etc.

Cheers!
