Boston.com published its list of the top fifty sci-fi television shows of all time.
First off, props to the sci-fi channel’s remake of Battlestar Galactica, which made it to the number two spot on the list. A well deserved recognition for a well written, well acted, well envisioned show about the aftermath of armaggedon. The original show clocked in at #35.
I think Futurama deserves a higher rating than #41.
I think Buffy should be a top ten show, and certainly deserves to do better than the craptacular Stargate Atlantis.
Firefly — by the way, Serenity opens next Friday and you should go see it because its going to be awesome — pulls in a super respectably seventeen. Firefly — or rather, its cancellation — is also another reason why you should hate FOX.
I don’t think Star Trek Voyager should be on the list, particularly since Deep Space Nine — a far superior program — got the boot. I’m not sure what is more insulting — this, or that Sliders made it. %$!#&^@!!!
I’m disappointed Highlander: The Series didn’t make the cut.
Lost nearly made it to the top ten!
I have to wonder, reading some of the entries … were the producers of Space 1999 a big fan of Star Trek’s Walter Koenig? Because that just seems like too much of a coincidence.
