Disagree ENTIRELY!!! I loved ST:DS9, especially the later years! And while the final season wasn't my favorite, it was very good, while the next to the last season was simply AWESOME!

Sliders, once it went on Sci Fi - like X-files, it was forced to continue long after it had jumped the shark. It was just painful to watch.

K. Totally agree here. I didn't have Sci-fi channel and so hadn't seen sliders for a while, but when I finally could see it on sci-fi, I was totally dismayed.

I also felt like that about Quantum Leap, which, after a while, had just plain run out of ideas, and had fallen victim to gimmicky stuff like running into the personifications of good and evil, stuff that really seemed to go out of character for the show.

I enjoyed Star Treks Next Gen, DS9, and Voyager, but I will admit that Voyager did seem a little long in the tooth shortly after season four, and I wasn’t too happy about the transition of Worf to DS9 from Next Gen. In DS9 I at first blamed the emergence of Worf on that show breaking up the most intriguing story line of that show being the Doctor’s pursuit of Dax, but the show developed better story lines and I later discovered that pursuit of Dax was ended when Nana Visitor and Alexander Siddig got married.

To me really bad Sci Fi would be considered the Starlost.

Hello TheNightman:

I have to agree with you on Buck Rodgers. It went from a mediocre show to pile of .

The costumes alone were terrible. Who ever designed those outfits should be place in front of a TV and forced to watch their own creation till the end of time.

This was not Science Fiction, but a travesty.

And the bird guy. Thanks for reminding me. Now the nightmares will begin again.

ARK II was pretty crappy too, in it they talked about how industry and overdevelopment were ruining the planet. Those silly bastards.

Threshold. Two words: Simply. Unwatchable.

Invasion. See "Threshold". I actually had the DVD set, and gave it away after struggling through the first five episodes. Mustn't-see TV.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. I think I was about 15 when this came out, and even then I could recognize it as complete bile.

ARK II - wasn't that kind of based on the movie "Damnation Alley", or was it just a similar vehicle?

Just a similar vehicle but even then not all that similar.

My vote goes to Lost In Space (boy am I dating myself).

It was so bad, it was good. Definitely a guilty pleasure.

2 words: Dr. Smith!

lol (can't help it, the actor was intentionally over the top)

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

I take slight exception to your opinion of the show. Yes, a lot of it was cheezy, and yes some of the costumes were silly, and yes Hawk's character was a bit over the top...however there was also a lot to be admired about the show :
Pamela Susan Shoop's costume as Tangy in Vegas In Space...you have a problem with that?
Markie Post's costume as Joella in The Legion Of Doom...you have a problem with that?
"B" movie bad-guy William Smith's costume, hair and harem of young beauties in Buck's Duel To The Death...great stuff!
Famous actor and political activist Tim Robbins' epic portrayal of a slave overseer working for Jack Palance as Kaleel in Planet of the Slave Girls...how memorable was that?
Other great guest appearances by :
Cesar Romero
Ana Alicia ( Battlestar babe as well )
Ann Lockhart ( Battlestar babe as well )
Frank Gorshin
Gary Coleman
Dorothy Stratten
Raymond Biery
Julie Newmar
Sid Haig
Vera Miles
Ann Dusenberry
Anne Jeffries
Michael Ansara
Peter Graves
Buster Crabbe
Sam Jaffe
Richard Lynch
and too many more to name.......
I watched all the episodes as they originally aired from 1980-1981. I can tell you that for some of us who were disappointed when Battlestar got cancelled in 1979, having Buck on the tube was almost as good. I met Gil Gerard & Erin Gray this past January at Megacon in Orlando. Erin was friendly & awesome, upbeat and fun. Gil seemed a little bitter. He really didn't want to talk much about the show, and I thought to myself why the hell is he here in the first place.
