Farscape (over acting ftw!!)

Not counting animu...

TNG, B5, and the X-Files.

Firefly was very good but too short-lived, sadly.

You don't need to say "repeat"!

Firefly
Fringe
Stargate SG-1
BSG

I have four in case Fringe isn't acceptable due to lack of spaaaaace.

Farscape.
Dr. Who.
Err....... Stargate SG-1. Firefly was great but was really just a western in space. BSG was great but there's no point in watching it again due to spoilers. Bablyon V was great, but I don't miss it for some reason. Stargate SG-1 is inferior to all of the these shows, but it qualifies as the TV equivalent of 'comfort food'. =/

Hehe!

I agree! I always thought it was Steven Fry who ruined the movie by turning it into a 'luvvy-fest'

But after going to the 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show LIVE" the other day which starts with snatches of interviews with Douglas Adams.

Quote:
Douglas 'The Screenplay version will be a lot, lot different. Um! & also utterly & completely contradictory to what's gone before, which is a very important thing to do'
Interviewer 'Which should annoy the Fans'
Douglas 'Well, that's an important thing to do as well'

So it was always Douglas' intention to 'Pass water' off the fans with the movie!
Sneaky and it worked Lol

Back to the Thread

1) Dr Who & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Radio & TV)
2) Babylon 5 & Firefly
3) Red Dwarf & Quatermass (1950's TV series),

Honourable Mentions to Star Trek (Original), Most Gerry Anderson shows (Stingray, Fireball XL-5, Thunderbirds, Joe 90, UFO & Captain Scarlet, etc.), Warehouse 13, Star Trek Voyager & Stargate SG-1

1) Farscape
2) Red Dwarf
3) Stargate SG-1 (shame they never did more with the Nox)

Honorable mentions because picking only three just isn't fair: Firefly, Star Trek TNG, Space Precinct 2040, Doctor Who, Lost in Space, Starhunter (one of the most "EVE like" shows I've encountered), Battlestar Galactica (original), Babylon 5, and last but certainly not least Lexx.

Obvious first:

Babylon 5 (minus the unnecessary 5th season).

This is what a TV SF series should be. It's so ahead of the genre that there is no point to compare.

Sensible second:

Stargate SG-1. Although it went off track in the last seasons, was quite fun and the characters were quite enjoyaable. My favorite would be the episode when they tried to close a gate open to a black hole as the effects of it permeated into the base.

More or less random third:

Star Trek TNG

Was fun, lasted long and had great characters. I remember specially the episode going on inside the holodeck with a Western theme -tha't what SF is about, the ability to tell ANY story and yet it be SF by following certain rules.

And even further back, Fireball XL-5. With a pilot called Steve Galaxy, how could he not save the universe every week?
