Favorite Sci-Fi TV series

[tennexplorer]

1. Firefly
2. X-files - because Scully is capable of pulling the bullets out of live ammo with her bare hands.
3. Enterprise - a good concept but killed by horrible writers. I mean even the female lead called the finale' "expletive deleted appalling".

Star Trek
Babylon 5
Hero's

"Babylon 5" - People used to talk to the producer in usenet when the show was on. The episodes with "Morden", "Lando" and "Vir" were the best.

"Dr Who" - I first started watching the b&w episodes on WTTW in Chicago in the '60s. Back then, it was 1/2 hour long.

Lost in Space, Twilight Zone and Obama's speeches

The Night Stalker, with Darren McGavin

I love the Family Guy take off on LIS.

"Major, you go with my nubile teenage daughter Judy. Robot and Will, you go out into the wilderness with the mincing pedophile."

My screen name is actually derived from my favorite original LIS series 1st season B&W episode, "War of the Robots".

OK, then what movie was Robbie the Robot, as copied in Last In Space from???

 

[Firehouse]

The Night Stalker, with Darren McGavin

Did you cheat??? (Google??)

I saw Forbidden Planet in the theater when I was a kid, and it really freaked me out.

 

[Grayfox]

Ooooo.........
So many to choose from!
I was a child of the 50s and grew up on this stuff. I love it all!

1. Firefly
2. Battlestar Galactica (SciFi)
3. Babylon 5
4. Farscape

Also been a fan of all the Star Trek shows.
Loved the old Twilight Zones and Outer Limits.

"I aim to misbehave" - Malcom Reynolds

 

[Zilmo]

I think the original Twilight Zone, and the original Outer Limits were superb shows, and I regularly seek out reruns. Another, not really sci-fi, but a great program was Night Gallery that Rod Serling did in the late sixties.

 

[nostraDONus]

#1 Lost In Space
#2 X Files
#3 Twilight Zone

 

[Firehouse]

Another vote for "Night Gallery". I guess I'm an old show geek. I love the old classics. Night Gallery, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Night Stalker, and Andy Griffith. Also, M*A*S*H. Even though the last two are not a sci-fi shows.

Yeah, me too!

I saw the original BLOB, it was terrifying (Steve McQueen). I had nightmares for weeks.

[Paniolo55]

+1 for the Twilight Zone

 

[1968hawkeye]

I vote for Farscape there was something about Zhaan and Chiana that had my attention. Especially Zhaan, I guess it was the blue skin. You have to love those Delvians.

Hawkeye

 

[kenpofan]

Farscape
Time Tunnel
Lost in Space
Star Trek.
Eureka

And the State controlled Media

 

[cmort666]

"Lexx".

The BATF make the perfect sci fi villains, and only a Canadian-German co-production could do it.

 

[VAdoublegunner]

Star Trek original, TNG and especially Voyager.

The Outer Limits was great! Also Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea around that same timeframe. Wild Wild West was good in a Jules Verne/Steampunk sort of way.

Another one I liked as a kid was Fireball XL5. They were ahead of their time in both story lines and technical aspects for a Saturday kids program. I got the DVD collection for XL5. Sting Ray was pretty good too.

Astro Boy was decent early Japanimation.
