Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows

[SVT Cobra]

Text

Number 1
'Star Trek' (Original)
And topping the list is classic 'Star Trek,' which aired just three seasons from 1966-69. Yes, perhaps it didn't feature the best acting, or most compelling story plots, but it was a show that set the standard for future space epics since. The show is also more popular today than it was when it first ran on air. The show went on to inspire several movies, several spinoffs and hordes of fans.

Number 2
'Battlestar Galactica' (New)

Number 3
'Star Trek: The Next Generation'

Number 4
'The X-Files'

Number 5
'Babylon 5'


Number 6
'Stargate SG-1'


Number 7
'The Twilight Zone'

Number 8
'Dr. Who'


Number 9
'Mystery Science Theater 3000'


Number 10
'Sliders'

That is the top ten...there is the top 50 with a description

Sliders at No.10? I'd put it at #40 or something.

the first season was good. That's all I saw when I was a kid, but I heard it went to sh!t afterwards

check out the shows below it

I think EFC deserves better than 50th place. sure the last season or two (with those atvsus) were horrible but it was pretty good before that.

stargate atlantis and firefly both being below voyager (with no DS9) is just wrong.

and xena is way too high and imo lost isnt SCIFI.

xena isn't sci-f, neither is buffy.

 

[Tylanner]

BS Galactica? meh

VOYAGER WAS 100% RIGHT ONE WITH COOLNESS

 

[Wuffsunie]

No Farscape? No Red Dwarf?

Crappy list, man.

 

[SVT Cobra]

I was surprised the x files got so high up

 

[Mojoed]

I think it's premature to rank the new BSG as 2nd top science fiction show. Right now I think it's the best Sci-Fi show, but in my book it's gonna take another couple of seasons like this to surpass Star Trek TNG.

[dolph]

futurama is FOURTY ONE?!?

from where does the boston globe draw the authority to rank sci-fi shows? this is worse than one of those "best of" music lists, as it's just... crap. i'm not even going to bother reading the rest.h

 

[MaxDSP]

half the damn list cant even be considered sci fi. And where the fvck is Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman?

 

[mercanucaribe]

Why do people group fantasy with science fiction?

 

[AnitaPeterson]

Sorry... No "Blake's 7", no dice... game over.

How can anyone overlook "Blake's 7" for such a list?

 

[rh71]

bah firefly made the list.

 

[Taggart]

B5 definetely belongs above new Battlestar

 

[silverpig]

New Battlestar is fracking awesome.

 

[coomar]

red dwarf, wtf

 

[silverpig]

I can't believe 3rd rock from the sun is on there. That's a sitcom.

Seems they were just trying to fill up space really. They should have made it a top 20 or something.

 

[tami]

no smallville or 4400? this list is poop.

obviously the folks that rated haven't watched much new television
