Top 10 Sci Fi Shows

[Rob McCow]

Rolling Stone have done a "Top 40" Sci Fi shows which is bound to irritate people to some degree - click the picture to see:


But what are your Top Ten Sci Fi Shows? And can you give a reason? Do you think Come Back Mrs Noah deserves top ranking? Does Doctor Who really feature in your top ten?

I'll be back later with my list...

I was disappointed to see Lexx didn't make the list. There was something really weird but amusing about that show. Plus the third series set over the planets Fire and Water was actually a pretty great episodic series.

[Alex]

1) Doctor Who
2) The Venture Bros
3) Red Dwarf
4) Firefly
5) Rick and Morty
6) The X-Files
7) Star Trek (Cheating here and having all of them bar Enterprise)
8) Battlestar Galactica (the new version, though I prefer to ignore the final 10 episodes)
9) Blake's 7
10) Black Mirror

The Rolling Stone's list is a bit weird in places though, I don't think I'd consider Buffy, Utopia or The Prisoner to be sci-fi (which is why I didn't add them to my list, anyway), along with a couple of the superhero series...

I second Rick and Morty!

Although I love them both I'm surprised to see The Six Million Dollar Man and The Prisoner in this list, as I don't class them as SF. I guess it's that age-old debate of where do you draw the line between Fantasy and SF. My yardstick used to be "no aliens and / or spaceships = telefantasy". But I recently thought "are man-made robots SF?" I guess they are! There were fembots in The Bionic Woman (gawd help us!) and cybernauts in The Avengers. So are they both SF programmes?

7: Sapphire and Steel
8: Star Trek

1: Doctor Who

2: Blake's 7

3: Sapphire & Steel

4: Star Trek

5: Star Trek Deep Space Nine

6: Sarah Jane Adventures

7: Torchwood

8: The Tomorrow People

I realise Lost in Space is a strange choice, but when the series was repeated by C4 in the 80s I really really enjoyed it! Okay so it got VERY silly towards the end... but I was still fond of it ..... you bubble-headed booby!!

Nobody has ever had to defend Lost In Space to me! I loved those C4 repeats. Land of the Giants maybe less so.
But what I loved about it was how dramatic it was at the start and the complete about turn it made before really going weirder as it burst into colour. "GOOD EVENING!".
