What's your favourite ever scifi TV show?

[MikeMcc]

Toss up between the new Battlestar Galactica, Farscape and B5. All had or have really strong story lines. I especially liked some of the quirky humour in Farscape.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Consigned to the dustbin of history lets hope

Star Trek DS9 - 4th and 5th season.

Yes well, they weren't the best and they weren't the worse

Will have to go for Babylon 5 then

 

[Onket]

The Avengers

Excellent call. Especially the ones with Diana Rigg. Yum!

But yeah, can't really be classed as sci fi can they.

 

[gentlegreen]

Star Trek TNG

(though there are some rather naff episodes - usually ones focussing on councillor Troy )

That's true, I think I loved that more too. However I voted Dr Who as there was no Eva.

However I have a huge soft spot for starfleet/x bomber.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i voted other

i mean Doctor Who is great but only running at about 40% i have a huge doctor who video colection but i have to say at least 29 out 50 are really kind of crap ... better than whatever shit is on telly ... but something that i would have no trouble selling and never seeing again

evangelion on the other hand i have a back up copy of on an old harddrive that doesn't get used just in case the dvds get damaged/lost

Farscape was very

 

[ruffneck23]

went for the new battlestar , but would have said firefly if bloody fox hadnt stopped making it , it had so much good potential , bloody fox


mind you farscape was damn good too


and so were the muppets

 

[Stigmata]

Farscape was very

I didn't understand it. For the most part it was just too bizarre and disjointed, although i'll concede the brilliance of Ben Browder in his role.

Once you get past the Muppets things its one of the funniest, cleverest sci-fi shows going.

You had to follow it from the start, it got more and more mental as the series developed.

yep

V. Good series, much better than the original.

That was it's brilliance and weakness, you really did need to watch from episode one and see em all. Amazing series if followed...

Ah Gotcha.

Ah ha ha ha ha hha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah You big baby.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Shit actually that really is the winner, I could watch Futurama over and over again for ever.

 

[gsv]

True, but isn't it us geeks who get more worked up about genre definitions? And non geeks who lump it all in together?

Any geek who's that hung up on definitions is a downright nerd. Gives us a bad name


GS(v)

 

[Firky]

Seconded. Bender is the bestest!

 

[Lava]

Of course!
How was this left out!?

 

[jannerboyuk]

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

 

[Barking_Mad]

No X-Files? Id have still voted for Red Drawf anyhow though

 

[Dai Sheep]

Babylon 5 for me, great storylines and much better than star trek, although I quite like Voyager.

 

[DexterTCN]

Star Trek. Original or NextGen.

 

[DexterTCN]

Flashman you're thinking of Lexx:

GS(v)

That's not her.

 

[Groucho]

Excellent call. Especially the ones with Diana Rigg. Yum!

But yeah, can't really be classed as sci fi can they.

Well some episodes were kinda. E.g. Whoever Shot Poor George Oblique Stroke XR40? Never Never say Die (The Christopher Lee one involving cloning). And some weren't.

 

[SonOfGoatboy]

Red Dwarf.

Though you could make a case for Spaced being on this list too.
