But it really wasn't very good- choppy writing & editing, ripped off footage from Silent Running, and shot in videotape like a soap...I bet neither one of us could sit thru more than a couple of eps...

1. Firefly
2. Journeyman
3. Stargate Atlantis
4. Eureka
5. X-files
I wish I had at least one show on the list that fell into the category of Fantasy alone. Sadly I've never seen one I seriously enjoyed. Hopefully that will change soon as it appears Fantasy(Namely epic high fantasy with magic and dragons and such) may be the next "big thing" for TV series. And some could be done very well with the right material and cast/crew/writers.

Tough one.
1. Firefly
2. Babylon 5
3. Highlander
4. Angel
5. Farscape
BSG and/or Lost will likely have a spot on the list, but I'll leave them off, should they totally crater before ending.

Here are my top five:
1. Star Trek - the original - I was actually alive when this first aired and it was my intro to sci/fi.
2. Firefly - cause its the best that never got to actual lift off and soar until it was too late
3. BSG - old and new; old cause it was just after Star Wars and was really cheesy; new cause it's got grit, savvy sci/fi, and a none of the cheese (except for Baltar)
4. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - talk about cheesy, but I loved Erin Grey in those outfits, man oh man!
5. Robotech - Okay, technically not a live show, but animation, but oh, it was great stuff watching this in university back in the 1980s. We were glued everyday at 4:30 in the dorm lounge. The first time you got to see someone die in a cartoon! I loved Lisa Hayes so much. Rick Hunter was blind not to see her for so long.

1. Firefly - the best show ever pretty much has to be the best sf show
2. Andy Richter Controls the Universe - calling this fantasy is a bit of a stretch, but totally worth it
3. Dr Who - obviously in over 40 years, some shows, some seasons, are better than others but this is consistently interesting
4. Futurama - nearly as funny as ARCtU
5. Blake's Seven - worst special effects ever, (I've seen High School drama with bigger effects budgets) didn't matter
