I agree with most of this list, except I would rank Star Trek #1, Babylon Five #2, and replace The Prisoner with The Time Tunnel. In my opinion Babylon Five is the greatest sci-fi TV show ever, but Star Trek had more industry and cultural influence.
What do you think!
What about Stargate SG-1? or Battlestar Gallactica--old and new?
ReplyDeleteSix Million Dollar Man was more of a spy show than Sci-fi even if it was a favorite.

The new BSG is on the list at #3. But you are right about Star Gate SG1. I can't believe I didn't notice its absence- it should be on the list.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed as well. You should have noticed dad!
