So what are your favorite SciFi TV series, James?

Currently? Lost.

My top five SciFi TV shows of all time would probably be:

1) Lost
2) Battlestar Galactica (the SciFi channel incarnation, not the original)
3) X-Files
4) Twilight Zone
5) Star Trek (Next Gen)

So yeah I stole this from another Thread but James got me thinking what mine were so here goes!

1) Babylon 5
2) Star Trek (TNG)
3) Farscape
4) Dr. Who
5) Alien Nation

Honorable mentions: Sliders, Stargate SG-1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Quantum Leap.

Here's a good article if you need to look up some... LINK

--Vrocket man!

1. V
2. Battlestar Galactica (current series).
3. Babylon 5
4. Stargate SG-1
5. Mystery Science Theatre 3000

V was awesome, if a bit of a sleeper. Can't top BSG currently. B5 just felt so different from Star Trek that it always felt fresh. Stargate was that awesome show you watched while insomnia kept you awake at 2 AM. Does MST3000 even count?

Limiting it to 5 is tough.

1. Battlestar Galactica
2. Lost
3. Babylon 5
4. X-Files
5. Star Trek (DS9)

Not quite making my list are: Star Trek (TNG), Nowhere Man, Doctor Who, Heroes, Reaper, Dark Angel, Terminator: SCC, Torchwood, and probably a few others I'm overlooking at the moment.

5. Doctor Who
4. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (that's right--wanna fight?)
3. Battlestar Galactica (reimagined series)
2. The Twilight Zone (1959-64)
1. The X-Files

Firefly
Doctor Who (Baker)
Buffy
Angel
Star Trek NG.

1: Babylon 5
2: Firefly
3: Eureka
4: Enterprise
5: Space Above and Beyond

1. BSG (current series)
2. Babylon 5
3. Buck Rogers (hey, I was in love with Erin Grey; first season was great, second season... not so much)
4. Space 1999 (yes, super-70s cheese, but I loved it)
5. ummm... Does BJ and the Bear count? :) No, fine, how about BSG (original series)...

Honorable mention would have to go to Jason of Star Command from Saturday mornings, if only for the excellent name of the main character.

P.S. I always liked Star Trek just kinda okay. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I could probably put the original series of TNG in at #5, and I probably should just as payback for the abomination that was "Galactica 1980." Eccchhh...

I dunno if I'd call Twilight Zone a sci-fi series. It always seemed more on the edge of horror to me, though often with a sci-fi twist.

Serling called it 'sci-fantasy.'

1. Doctor Who (inclusive)
2. Lost
3. Deep Space 9
4. Battlestar Galactica (new one)
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seasons 1-3)

I'm probably forgetting a couple. Thundarr the Barbarian would come in at #6.

In no real order:

Doctor Who / Torchwood
Babylon 5
Stargate
Battlestar Galactica (minus most of seasons 3 and 4)
Red Dwarf

Thundarr rocks.

Edit: Stargate pushes Quantum Leap off the list. That show was just plain good fun :)

1. Doctor Who (inclusive)

2. Lost
3. Deep Space 9
4. Battlestar Galactica (new one)
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seasons 1-3)

I'm probably forgetting a couple. Thundarr the Barbarian would come in at #6.

LORDS OF LIGHT!!!

Deep Space 9
Babylon 5

and shows that I only liked the first seasons of;
Buffy (earlier seasons)
Earth: Final Conflict (first season)
Andromeda (first season)

1) Star Trek(TOS,TNG,DS9)
2) Babylon 5
3) X-Files
4) Buffy
5) Starblazers(How many of you can still sing the complete intro?)

1)Red Dwarf (Best Concept Ever)
2)Star Trek (TNG)
3)Star Trek (original)
4)Babylon 5
5)Heroes

1) DS9
2) Lost

4. Stargate Atlantis
3. Stargate SG1
2. Smallville
1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, seasons 1-5 (Buffy's death was the last really great episode, IMHO)

I'm not sure what counts as sci-fantasy these days, but here's my list:

1. The Prisoner
2. Twin Peaks
3. Firefly
4. Battlestar Galactica
5. Samurai Jack

Throw in some Transformers, Robotech, Nowhere Man and Doctor Who as well.

No real order (changes with my mood)
Battlestar Galactica (current show)
Babylon 5
Firefly
Buffy
Dr Who

Well, if I actually put them in a ranked order it would be:

1)Farscape
2)Firefly
3)Doctor Who
4)X-Files
5)Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

I'm so happy to see DS9 getting the love it deserves...

Yep. DS9 got off to a very slow start, but the last few seasons became the best Star Trek that's ever been on TV, IMHO.

We're off, to outer-space, defending mother Earth! To save, the human race!
err...um...I have no idea what you're talking about.

Heh, heh, heh.

Doctor Who
B5
Firefly
Red Dwarf
Invader Zimm

I'm so happy to see DS9 getting the love it deserves...

It's my favorite of the Treks, but it's hard to get past its history as a ripoff of the B5 proposal (down to copying a lot of names). Paramount = sleaaaaazy, at least back then.

1) Babylon 5
2) Trek: TOS
3) the original Battlestar Galactica (the new one has become a POS)
4) Firefly
5) Buffy / Angel

1.) Lost (by leaps and bounds)
2.) Buffy
3.) Jericho
4.) Primeval
5.) Stargate: SG-1

1) Manimal
2) Automan
3) The Sentinel
4) Werewolf!
5) Sigmund and the Sea Monsters

1) Star Trek(TOS,TNG,DS9)

2) Babylon 5
3) X-Files
4) Buffy
5) Starblazers(How many of you can still sing the complete intro?)

For some reason I thought we were going live action, but if we are including cartoons then absolutely Star Blazers FTW, and yes I can still sing the complete intro (Gamilon... I think I'm missing a line or two on the Comet Empire intro).

1. Firefly
2. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
3. The Six Million Dollar Man
4. Star Trek (all)
5. BSG (old & new)

1. Firefly (there has never been a funnier, better, cleaner made, every damn episode is great, show made that stand sup in so few episodes).

2. Battlestar Gallatcia (new) - So intense, so well paced, so damn wired (can we say Baltar ala Jesus?). It had to make the creme of the creme.

3. X-Files - sure there were terrible seasons, but it is still a behemoth in the dark sci-fi TV and movie world.

4. Star Trek (inclusive) - where would we all be without the trek?

5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2 Whedon's in the top 5). While I would often not call Buffy sci-fi (except for the occasional robot step-father, military Frankenstein monster, side show freak), it deserves to hit the top 5.

1) Manimal

2) Automan
3) The Sentinel
4) Werewolf!
5) Sigmund and the Sea Monsters

*choke*

You just made milk come out of my nose. Seriously. The scary thing is, I wasn't even drinking milk...where the heck did it come from?!

The great thing about Werewolf was it was identical to the Incredible Hulk, only with a guy that turned hairy instead of green.

I had some posting issues. This is my 2nd try.

SciFi:
1. Firefly
2. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
3. The Six Million Dollar Man
4. Star Trek (all)
5. BSG (old & new)

Fantasy:
1. Buffy
2. Xena
3. Highlander
4. Friday the 13th: The Series
5. Land of the Lost

1. Babylon 5
2. Lost
3. Firefly
4. Star Trek (Original)
5. Heroes

1. Star Trek (all the series, i see them as a continuity)
2. Battlestar Galactica (new version)
3. Stargate SG1
4. The Twilight Zone
5. The Martian Chronicles

1. Stargate SG-1
2. Star Trek TNG
3. Highlander
4. V
5. Star Trek TOS

And an honorable mention to The Greatest American Hero (my favorite show as a kid, although I'm sure if I watched it now it wouldn't feel the same) and Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles (not on the air long enough yet to make the list, IMO).

Hmmmm tough one! I only get five.

In no particular order

Firefly
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
BSG
Deep Space Nine
Farscape

I wish to say that Stargate SG1 (the first three seasons) as well as Space: Above and beyond deserve mention.

What's the call on the show Supernatural? because I'd bump someone off the top five list for that.

BSG
Firefly
Lost (first season only)
Quantum Leap (cheesy but fun!)
Carnivale

5. The Martian Chronicles

I just read the book. It's a tv show now?

#5 The X-Files
#4 Cowboy Bebop
#3 Invader Zim
#2 The Real Ghostbusters *
#1 Dr. Who **

---

* First season and 1/2 or so.
** Inclusive, though Tennant's my favorite, with Baker a close 2nd.

Yes, I know 3/5s of my list are cartoons. I love animation. Heck, I imagine in animation.

Is it just me or do the good sci-fi shows seem to outnumber the fantasy series? Kind of a shame.

And... of course, the list (Except Dr. Who) is always subject to potential revision. Such is life.

1. Star Trek: TNG
2. X-Files
3. Red Dwarf
4. Angel
5. Quantum Leap

2) Automan

Ah, Automan. A cop buddy TV show with Tron. Excellent. Forgot all about that one.

I think Fox made a mini-series about 15 years ago...

1) Manimal

2) Automan
3) The Sentinel
4) Werewolf!
5) Sigmund and the Sea Monsters

I think Sean (title character on Psych) has quoted all of these. Can Werewolf be found anywhere?

Star Trek (inclusive: some good some bad)
Firefly (first season only (hah had to be said! :)
Lost
BSG

The last is a little harder as I have watched them all regularly (or on disc):
Red Dwarf, Hercules/Xena, Battle of the Planets, Smallville, Highlander, Dukes of Hazard,* Knight Rider.

Hmmm definately in no particular order: Farscape, Buffy, Angel, Heroes (season 1 only), Star Trek TNG, and Quantam Leap

I don't think it ever made it to debut stage for television, but I could be wrong.

I take it back. It aired in 1980. I must've seen a rerun.
