The 50 Greatest Sci-Fi TV Shows EverA decent list, but a lot of mistakes."Space: Above and Beyond" rated way too low, as is "Star Trek Voyager". "Babylon 5" also should be a bit higher. "Stargate SG-1" should be number 1, IMO. Definitely not "Dr Who". "Stargate Atlantis" isn't even on the list, nor is "Star Trek Enterprise".

Babylon 5 should be in the top ten. Not sure about Stargate, as I never watched it through serially and entirely. Star Blazers should be up there with Evangelion, though Bebop made me cry(that ending!). The Japanese really GET sci-fi, and have fantastic writers. Not sure why Twin Peaks is on the list???? Surrealism isn't sci-fi, and though an amazing show, is in a different genre. And why isn't TOS tied with Next Generation?
The superhero crap doesn't belong.
I'm surprised Space 1999 was second to last. There's a lot of poppycock on 1999, but they had some interesting premises too, and one of the scariest episodes I've ever seen on public television called "Dragon's Domain." If I saw that as a kid, I probably would have crapped my pants.
I'm glad War of the Worlds from the late 80s/early 90s made the list. That was a neat, short-lived show.
And Doctor Who is awesome. Not sure it belongs at number one though, but definitely on the top ten. Some of the older episodes can be really campy, but they often were based on an interesting premise, and devoid of the social justice crap you see in the most recent ones.
Lots of good stuff on that list, and a few newer series I haven't seen. The Expanse should definitely be higher--has the potential to surpass BSG, depending if they keep the intensity up and don't fall prey to the BSG Season 3 second-half slump.

Glad to see Red Dwarf on the list at number 31
One day the West will fall. But if the Liberty for which we fight is taken up by the world then the West will not have failed.

Glad to see Red Dwarf on the list at number 31 I thought it should be a lot higher but that's just my opinion. It's by far the one I've watched more than any other on the list by a large margin.

Because Firefly was awesome. They should have never cancelled it. Same goes for Dark Matter.

Because Firefly was awesome. They should have never cancelled it. Indeed. That said, after having re-watched it recently, I do wonder if if would have been so dearly loved, if it had gone on much longer. I think they front-loaded a lot of the best material and character development.

Dr. Who and Star Trek TOS are head and shoulders above all others just due to legacy
