Best SCI-FI tv shows

[violet lightning]

I love Battlestar Galactica! Great writing, acting, casting, superb effects, original in so many ways. I thought casting Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck was a stroke of brilliance. The series had its slow parts, but all in all was very strong.

I'd like to mention "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which was a BBC extended mini-series, so I guess it qualifies as a tv show. The effects were kitschy, but it held to the books quite well, and told the whole story, not just part of it.

Also, does "Futurama" count as sci-fi? :D

transjen I saw most of BSG season 1 when it first aired and never really followed it after that watching it here and there afterwards to me it wasn't bad and it wasn't the greatest ever, But it was a lot better then STAR TREK THE NEXT GEN but that's not hard to do Jennifer

Aaaaah, and I think therein lies the "problem". In my opinion, BSG is one of those series that you cannot watch "here and there". Too many plots and variables going on and each epsisode so dependent on the ones before it. I have all the DVD sets from the very beginning up until the first half of season 4, and watching them in this format has been incredible. So much better than on brodcast TV.

NOTE TO ALL BSG FANS: SEASON 4.5 WILL BE RELEASED ON DVD JULY 20!! (in Canada anyway) :D:D
