Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows
pbaumgar writes "Boston.com is running an article discussing their top 50 Sci-Fi TV shows of all-time. What are some of your favorites?" From the article: "Number 10 -'Sliders. 'Sliders' should have been a widespread hit, but it was ahead of its time. The show was about a wiz-kid genius Quinn Mallory, played by Jerry O'Connell, and his band of three companions who slide among Earth's alternate realities. Toward the end of the series, the show quickly slid in quality as three of its stars - O'Connell, Sabrina Lloyd and John Rhys-Davies - departed and were replaced by others. A tragic demise to a fine show." They don't even give a nod to greatest-trek-of-all-time DS9, so I don't know about this list.
Deep Stain 9. Geez guys. It started out as a theft of B5 and it was a pale copy at best. DS9 deserves no place in the top 50, B5 is right where it belongs.
If they have Stargate SG1 on there, and left off DS9, then yeah, something is outta whack. I wouldn't say DS9 was totally the best ever, but at least it did Next Generation proud.
Now, I gotta jump on SG1 with both feet:
every episode of Stargate SG-1/Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica (some of the most popular current sci-fi) is based on the entire series up until that point
Is THAT what's wrong with SG-1? I watched a few episodes of that show, and MAN did it suck! So I guess I had to be in from the beginning to like it? I doubt that would matter. I loved the movie, but Richard Dean Anderson should have quit acting after McGuyver. I know this doesn't add anything intelligent to the discussion, but it HAD to be said: At least IMHO, Stargate SG-1 is the cheesiest, hokiest, most poorly put together SCI-FI show ever. Yet there it is, number eight or six or whatever it got. What a stoopid list!
blah blah blah
