Your top 5 all-time favorite sci-fi TV shows?

[Gothic Sponge]

Mine:

1. Star Trek
2. Star Trek Deep Space Nine
3. Babylon 5
4. Star Trek Next Gen
5. The Twilight Zone

I also love BSG, and Firefly. However, I didn't list BSG because it's still on the air, and Firefly had such a short run.

[YankeyMCC]

1. 1. Star Trek

2. Original Outer Limits
3. New BSG
4. Farscape
5. Babylon5

Honorable mention, all the other Treks and 6 Million Dollar Man. To be honest I don't remember clearly enough if this was done well or not but I know I loved it as a kid and I've been thinking of it a lot lately. I think it's a good canidate for a remake.

[Gothic Sponge]

2. I loved The Six Million Dollar Man as a kid too.

I also loved Space 1999, and Lost in Space. Sadly, they aren't as good as I remembered them as a child.

[NewJeffCT]

5. yes, but the influence got you into Sci-Fi in general

So, mission accomplished on the part of those shows... sort of like how I used to play 1st edition D&D in the late 70s & early 80s and it looks a bit strange now with all the inconsistencies and imbalance in the game.

[Gothic Sponge]

6. Very true

I'll still watch those shows when they are on. They are still dear to me. Cheese and all. ;)

[Emperor_Norton_II]

3. A tough choice

1. Dr. Who
2. Star Trek: TOS
3. Babylon 5
4. Stargate SG-1
5. Star Trek: DS9

[NewJeffCT]

4. I'll have to think about this one, but

1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2) the new Battlestar Galactica
3) Star Trek
4) Star Trek: The Next Generation
5) Star Trek: Deep Space 9

honorable mention to Babylon 5 and The 6 Million Dollar Man, and my guilty pleasure of Buck Rogers in the 25th century with Gil Gerard and lots of weekly cheesecake.

[Robeson]

8. Goodies

1. BSG (current)
2. The X-Files
3. Space 1999
4. The Twilight Zone
5. Fireball X-15

Firefly too. Argh, 5 is just too limiting! :) Ooo! And The Thunderbirds! I remember the 6 million dollar man and the Bionic Woman (had such a crush on her!) Those 2 shows seem so...well, hokey now but I have a softspot for whenever I see Lee Majors on TV, 'specially in that one recent computer ad...

PS: Yeah, yeah - I liked BSG TOS too; that one is up there also, but TNS just trumps it so hard now.

[NewJeffCT]

9. oh, forgot about X-Files

here I was thinking of syndicated shows and minor network shows, and I forgot all about one of the biggies... though, I'd still have to add that to my honorable mention list.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

10. 1. The new BSG

2. Farscape
3. B5
4. Quantum Leap
5. Twilight Zone

Honorable mentions to Stargate, Sliders, The Prisoner, Outer Limits, Dr. Who, Space 1999, Bewitched and The Bush Administration.

[NewJeffCT]

11. oh, forgot Sliders, too

I used to like that show, esp. before Kari Wuhrer came on the show (granted, Kari is better looking than the woman she replaced... but, I didn't like her on the show as much) Another honorable mention for me.

[FM Arouet666]

12. Why, of course, Star Trek

1. Star Trek TOS
2. Star Trek TNG
3. Star Trek DS9
4. Star Trek Voyager
5. Star Trek Enterprise

Someone has to be the fundamentalist here, so accept it or I will smite you a second time. :silly: :freak: :evilgrin:

[BigMcLargehuge]

13. The Prisoner

Star Trek (TOS)
Space 1999
Thunderbirds
Babylon 5

[Ready4Change]

14. UFO

So nifty. So cool. I mean, like Groovy. :)

Let's hear it for purple haired Moon Women! (?)

[Deja Q]

15. In order: Doctor Who, Blake's 7, Firefly, Sapphire & Steel, Star Trek TOS

:D

The Prisoner being #6, oddly... and Sliders (seasons 1 and 2 only) is #7.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

16. That's a tough one...

But I'd have to say:

1. Babylon 5
2. Battlestar Galactica (the new one)
3. Farscape
4. Firefly
5. The Prisoner (Not really completely sci-fi, but damn cool, nonetheless)

[politicat]

17. My five

1. Firefly,
2. Red Dwarf
3. Alien Nation
4. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC)
5. Deep Space Nine

I hate the fact that Star Trek was always so clean and shiny. Even on Voyager, nothing ever really deteriorated - you'd think that the wall panels would have gotten grubby or broken or something. The Star Treks never looked real or lived in, and the people were nearly always too good to be true. I liked DS9 because the other cultures were willing to still be real - greedy or grasping or jealous of land or whatever.

Thus, my love for Firefly and Red Dwarf. I want realism in my SF, dammit.

[Ready4Change]

20. I agree on "too clean" especially ST Voyager.

They missed an opportunity there, I think, for series long continuity. In one episode they could have installed some replacement alien technology which works, but, say, you have to crawl around it to get down one hallway. For the rest of the series you could have had characters reacting to it in various ways, humorous, pissed, frantic (as they run from a monster). Heck, making out on it.

The ship should have been a patchwork when it got home. People in the space dock could have been gawking at the sight of it.

They could have bronzed the ship and placed it an orbit of honor. Instead, eh, it's just an old ship. Ah well.

What a waste of scripts.

That was something I loved about Star Wars when it came out. The Imperials were all clean and shiny. The Rebellion all beat up and dirty. A lived in, growing universe was illustrated by the contrast. Lovely.

18. This is too hard

but making the cut...

1. Star Trek: TOS
   
2. Doctor Who (all of them)
   
3. Star Cops (very short lived Chris Boucher series)
   
4. Blake's Seven
   
5. Babylon 5

This list really changes upon the day of the week you ask me. Other shows in alternate Top 5's would be Stargate SG1, Firefly, Star Trek: TNG, Twilight Zone (1980s edition with the Grateful Dead theme music), The Prisoner, Star Trek: The Animated Series, Farscape, and (not quite scifi but very twisted, early 1990s) Eerie, Indiana.

[Jawja]

19. Mine are

1. The X-Files
2. Outer Limits Anthology (recreated series)
3. Star Trek, The Next Generation
4. Star Trek
5. The Twilight Zone (original series)

[jayfish]

21. These:

Not in any order

1.Firefly
2.Star Trek
3.BSG (Both the original and the new series)
4.X-Files
5.Star Trek TNG

Honorable mention to "Earth 2" and "Lost In Space"
