I loved E2! My friend Kirk was in it--he played Cameron, one of the four guys who were in evey ep but had no lines. That whole cast was just fab. Especially Clancy Brown and Jessica Steen. That's how I first heard about "Firefly" actually--because of Rebecca Gayheart.

Is Twilight Zone sci-fi? Or MST3k?

Calhoun, check out Blakes'7 or Doctor Who Tom Baker years as long as plot and not special effects appeal to you. This is because these U.K. shows are really,really,really cheap looking but heavy on plot.
If you liked DS9 well you'll like Babylon 5 since the majority of the DS9 story arc was stolen from Babylon 5. Honestly if you start watching the Babylon 5 DVD's and check the dates you'll realise that most of the major DS9 arch stories were done two to three years earlier on B5. And done better I might add.
Am I saying DS9 ripped off B5, yeah pretty much.

Thanks all for your input.
When I posted initially I had a hard time remembering all the stuff i've already seen so ill make some ammendments now.
I,ve seen all Babylon5's, Farscapes, not all Earth2(it got canned after a few episodes over here in Australia). I remember Blakes7 from when I was younger, I remember liking it and will seek out the DVD's when/if they're released. I remember 1 episode in particular where there was this sniper dude who would shoot his targets with a special gun that tagged the target unknowingly with some sort of special high tech explosive and he would detonate the target remotely from the safety of space. It was cool. I digress...
Again, thanks for helping me seek out good sci fi that I may have missed. It seems I am up to date though.
Sad.
Bring on the Movie!

We could always add in a few things that should have DVD collections:
The 80's Twilight Zone -- Unlike the more recent effort, this one earned the name Twilight Zone. Also, there was one short segment with Ron Glass as a demon that was very funny.
Gargoyles -- Best cartoon show Disney ever produced. Killed by Michael Eisner because it was too involved and mature. (Quite possibly the only 'toon to use the phrase 'biological father'.)
The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers -- Better than average 80's cartoon. Impossible to find on tape.
Exo-Squad -- Solid 90's cartoon. An involved story with an arc -- utterly destroyed when the studio starting airing them out of order.

While we're on the subject of cartoons, what about DragonballZ?
Also, I don't know how Sci-fi it is, but it has a sci-fi feel and a lot of darkness. Check out Touching Evil on USA. I got hooked after the first episode.
