...assuming people here watch sci-fi tv shows ;)

Just 3! otherwise tl;dr :P


For me:

1. Babylon 5
2. BSG (new)
3. Firefly


B5 was just epic! I usually cycle through the series on dvd once a year... apart from the last season. The shadow war was the best part. I want's a B5 hardcore sandbox mmo, but no one listens to Zathras.
edit btw, that's Zathras, not Zathras or Zathras or Zathras. Just Zathras.

I'm in it for the money

I was going to say Lost for number one but I'm unsure if that's sci fi so left it out. also thinking of my top sci fi shows has made me realise that I really need to buy the show Lexx, it was completley ridiculous and I loved it.

They have that going on at Best Buy (in the US) for $15 - S03-S04 both seasons. I'm not sure about 1 and 2.

That's going to be a remake pretty soon you know. Space 2099. I loved Space 1999 when I was a kid. One of the few space operas back then.

RED DWARF! **** YEAH
Doctor Who is OK even though I haven't actually watched that much of it.
Other than that... Futurama :)

Never was into any of that Firefly or Stargate stuff myself

1. Firefly
2. Warehouse 13
3. LOST (got enough weird S**t to be scifi)


Haven't finished all of Warehouse 13 yet, but I'm really liking it so far. My wife got me into it.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

Just 3? Here, have six:

Babylon 5: This show sets the standard for how to execute a planned story arc. Comments in season 1 allude to events that don't occur until season 4. The universe is rich, the cultures are familiar yet alien, and the combat scenes are something to behold, even today. Easily my favorite show.

Firefly: If you're into sci-fi and you don't know why this is on the list, you're doing it wrong.

Farscape: I'm about to finish watching this for the third time, and it's brilliant.

Doctor Who: Bowties are cool. RUN!!!

Stargate: SG-1 is my favorite, but I liked them all.


Space: Above and Beyond: an early victim of Fox's campaign against scifi that also killed Firefly, this was a great show that didn't get a chance to succeed.

Popular sci-fi that I don't care for:

Battlestar Galactica: This show has some of the best moments in sci-fi, but they are the peaks between vast valleys of bore. The show becomes far too mired in social commentary and being a soap opera for the main characters.

Star Trek: I find the technology and the universe of ST to be absurd. Every time I watch Trek for any length of time I end up wondering what the hell is wrong with humans of the future that they lack the imagination to push their technology to its logical limits.

Lexx: This is the one sci-fi series I started and never finished. I just found it to be that bad.
