Favorite Sci-Fi Show

[Plexus]

Firefly. (See my quote from the upcoming Firefly movie, Serenity, and accompanying link and date of release.)

Currently on air: Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica are all great television.

 

[Maniacal]

Star Trek, Andromeda, Star Wars. I only get CBC Television so I don't get to watch much of a variety very often.

 

[CoolioVonHoolio]

the twilight zone?

 

[Warman17]

The Stargates and Battlestar Galactica.

It's ok. The first season is a little slow until the last few. The second season is better. www.gateworld.net

Stargate, though I'm more a fan of the early seasons. Atlantis has a lot of the early SG-1 feel, where they're still exploring new planets and don't know what's going on on a galactic scale, but the villains are far, far inferior.

SG1 started to go down the tubes when Anubis became the main bad guy, imo. He didn't have the vanity that made the Goa'uld so amusing.

Stargate Atlantis is good. Not as good as SG-1, but good enough that I tune in every week.

 

[GenMarshall]

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Cowboy Bebop. So sue me if they are anime, there Sci-Fi in my book .

What is your favorite science fiction show on Television cancelled or still on the air?

TV SF is crap these days. I'm not impressed one bit by any of it.

Back in the day, I was enamored by the OLD Star Trek, even by which time it was already in re-runs. When I saw the NG (and spin-offs), it was a pale comparison with mostly PC threads.

TV SF that's on nowadays doesn't deal with the interesting issues that SF was originally meant to deal with, such as the consequences of certain political, social, or economic conditions taken to their "natural" conclusions. Instead, it's just a bunch of fluff mixed in with snazzy sci-fi gadgets.

What did you like better the strings holding up the Enterprize or the Lame looking Clingons.

the twilight zone?

Wow. Why didn't I think of that? Stargate and Twilight Zone are the best sci-fi shows in my opinion.

Star Trek Enterprise
X-Files

and the winner is...

Sliders (original cast)

 

[Savage Discipil]

Sliders isnt better than Stargate.

 

[CoolioVonHoolio]

Wow. Why didn't I think of that?

the only reason it was on the top of my head is because i have no cable and MeTv plays it alot. so no scifi channel for me at least till we get cable again...

 

[Aleph-Null]

Sliders isnt better than Stargate.

Yes, but I have that favorite episode where they go to the world where Genius's are all famous athletes and treated like Superstars.

Sounds like a good episode,but sadly I never saw that one.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Everyone is so fixated on special effects, the story goes out the window.

I've tried watching shows like Stargate and Andromeda, and lose interest after about 15 minutes. There is an enormous level of cliché there, far beyond what one might expect for suspending disbelief.

Actually, there is one show on that is technically sci-fi that I like. It's called "Tripping the Rift." It's actually an animated sci-fi comedy.
