What is your favorite space-based with aliens sci-fi TV series?

^^^ Then we have to add Alf, My Favorite Martian, The Invaders ....

I guess Mork & Mindy as well.

Stargate SG-1 is great. From your list, I like BSG, ST:TNG, ST: DS9, Babylon 5, and if I squint, Voyager. I really hate the little kid on Voyager though.

Yeah it was. I still remember Sci-fi Fridays. SG-1, SG:Atlantis and BSG back to back to back. Man that was a great time. I can still recall watching those with my wife in our townhouse on my crazy big 44" Panasonic rear projection DLP TV

…no TNG? Am I missing something?

No Farscape?

Farscape was also amazing

Space 1999 and/or UFO.

Both were, in truth, absolutely terrible, at least in terms of the writing/stories and the Godawful bad science. Not to mention some ropey performances from what were otherwise excellent actors (e.g. Martin Landau).

But they were damn good in terms of the set design/costumes/miniatures and the general aesthetics of them. Probably why some of those who worked on that side of it went on to do the same for Star Wars, and why they produced a large range of fondly-remembered childhood toys.

Only came in here because I was looking for the "dreams" thread, as last night had a particularly bizarre one where I was wandering around a series of interiors that were all decorated/furnished in the style of those two series*. Such a 1970s idea of what the future would look like.

[*Sadly, no appearance by Gabriel Drake]

I think DS9 was the most uniformly good of all the series. I don't remember a single crappy episode.

Let me help you

Move Along Home (episode)

A visiting delegation from the Gamma Quadrant turns four crew members into "pieces" for a bizarre game. It's an important day aboard Deep Space 9 as an official delegation on behalf of the Wadi are due to arrive from the Gamma Quadrant for first contact. Commander Sisko is in his dress uniform...

Nah, there wasn't anything wrong with that. It had silly aspects, but the horror element was superb.

Ultraman is ongoing

Looks like Netflix has 3 seasons from 2019 and Prime has a season from 1966 currently.

Availability in NA is spotty because there is little demand.

No love for Farscape?

B5 is definitely my favorite off that list.

Edit: Some of the line deliveries in Farscape were just perfect:
