Re: The Ten Best Science Fiction Series ever aired
Ten BEST series? That's a tough one, especially if you grade a series based on it's entire run. Many started strong (Stargate SG-1, Buck Rogers) but ended weak (Stargate SG-1, Buck Rogers).
My top picks in no particular order:
Firefly - Never had a chance to go downhill.
Farscape - Best Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon inspired series ever.
Battlestar Galactica TOS - Non-syndicated version.
Dr. Who - Especially the Tom Baker years.
Red Dwarf - Best UK SF farce series I've seen.
Banner/Crest of the Stars - It's an really good anime series.
Star Trek TOS - I can still watch reruns of this.
The Outer Limits - Best of the SF themed anthology series, IMO.
Babylon 5 - It had it's up and downs but overall very good.
LEXX - Most original SF series in a while.
I'd probably come up with a different list tomorrow. So I'll include a few honorable mentions as well:
Sliders
Jericho
Eureka - A surprisingly silly fun series.
Crusade - Possibly the best spin-off series ever. I loved the episode that did the X-Files homage.
