Seafort - if you want to sway Tyyr's opinion, you should direct him to the Baker years. I have a suspicion that Tyyr may be influenced by a tough chick in a short leather dress.
Personally, I agree with the addition of Red Dwarf. I also agree with Tyyr's omission of Thunderbirds. I personally think Space: Above and Beyond, Earth 2.0, and Andromeda should be shelved in favor of UFO and Space: 1999.

I'd disagree with Andromeda purely because I like it, and I've actually seen it. Apparently I used to watch space 1999 in Italy when i was small but i really can't remember it.

Andromeda was rather good for the first couple of series. Then it went utterly shit when they fired the main writer for the show.

Yes, I would agree. It all got terribly weird when you got to the "route of ages" crap.

I can't deny Thunderbirds had a long run but it had a long run for being a campy classic puppets show not because it was great sci-fi.Personally, I agree with the addition of Red Dwarf. I also agree with Tyyr's omission of Thunderbirds.
S:AB didn't last long but what it did have was a short but very very good run. And besides, it gave us:I personally think Space: Above and Beyond,
Chaplain: Colonel McQueen. Perhaps you should make peace with your maker.
McQueen: My maker was some geek in a lab coat with an eye-dropper and a petrie dish. What do I need to make peace with him for?
Chaplain: At these times we should all make peace with our maker.
McQueen: With all due respect, Chaplain, I don't think our maker wants to hear from me right now. Because he knows I'm going to go out in that sky in this plane and remove one of his creations from his universe. And when I return, I'm going to drink a bottle of scotch as if it were Chiggy von Richthofen's blood and celebrate his death.
Chaplain: Amen.
I will freely admit that this is on my list almost entirely because I loved the concept back in the day. The execution kinda blew and I tossed Sliders for being concept and bad execution but Sliders was an epic fuck up and E2 was just kinda meh.Earth 2,
Has an AI chick, and the only thing I like more than an AI story is an AI story with a hot chick.and Andromeda
No personal experience with either.should be shelved in favor of UFO and Space: 1999.

No doubt it was better than Sliders but IMO that's not saying much.Tyyr wrote:I will freely admit that this is on my list almost entirely because I loved the concept back in the day.

I just started to look at UFO on Graham's recommendation, and it was spot-on. Space: 1999 was before your time, and had a bit of the associated camp, but Martin landau - 'nuff said.Tyyr wrote:No personal experience with either.
BTW, I just thought of another one to make some room for - would The Prisoner (the original, not the Jim Caviezel crap) go in here?

Re: 30 Best Sci-Fi Shows of All Time
Plain and simple... I really liked it. The production was the best part - some of the "outside the box" thinking as to how it was made, rather than what was being made. However, what I appreciated most was that it didn't get too full of itself for being edgy production-wise, which would have caused the story to suffer.
