Your favourite sci-fi TV series?

[Superior Mind]

Never really watched much sci fi TV. Though as a kid I did watch a lot of TNG and a seemingly forgotten show called Earth 2. Everyone knows the former but the latter I remember as being very good.

The Venture Bros. - i think it qualifies as a sci-fi. That or Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys - awesome cartoon that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults, and it references plenty of other science fiction films and shows.

Rest of ma favorites are: Firefly, Heroes (too bad it became worse every season), Fringe, and X-files.

Red Dwarf and DS9 tie for first. Dwarf had the comedy, DS9 had the arcs and political intrigue aka The Dominion War.

Third would be Firefly.

Hmm...

Doctor Who is probably my big one. I've seen all of the New Who series and while it does have its issues, I really enjoy it.

Firefly was awesome, along with Serenity. I really hate that it never had a chance.

Fringe is great, though I haven't been able to catch the latest season. And next season will be the last one. Sad about that.

As for sci-fi anime I would have to go with Cowboy Bebop, because it's one of the best I've seen period.

My favourite is easy; Firefly. Then Farscape (Yay! Insanity! EDIT: Also, my home. I teared up a little because I was feeling very homesick when I watched it).

It's just after that putting them in order gets a little harder. That said, honorable mentions go to Battlestar Galactica (One of the few Sci-Fi series which ended before being canceled) and Stargate: Atlantis (because it managed to keep the fun and adventure from SG:1, that SG:U couldn't, with better production)

Also; I usually use threads like these as a way of discovering new shows. So for anyone who does the same, here's some other Sci-Fi which are, at the very least, interesting.

Caprica - I actually feel like putting this with the honorable mentions, but I've got to no idea why. So it's here. It's a spin-off of Battlestar Galactica, so if you like one watch the other.

Dark Angel - Hit and miss. It had a relatively interesting setting and premise, but the writing wasn't consistent. First season was impressive, second season was painful.

Stargate: SG-1 - It takes awhile for it to find it's feet, but if you can get over that hump it's just fun.

Stargate: Universe - It feels more like Battlestar Galactica than it does Stargate, but it's not bad. It takes itself too seriously though.

Fringe - Worth watching just because of Walter Bishop. Seriously.

Dr Who, I like it so much I own a sonic screwdriver and drove to london to see the Dr Who experience..... Oh yeah, face to face with Daleks!

I'm split between Stargate and The X-Files. Both 90s series which were cancelled. I really liked the main cast of both. They had relatively intelligent, well thought-out plots and sci-fi concepts, and interesting lead characters. Though if I could bring back one, it would be the X-Files, it was peerless in exploring conspiracies in high places and modern day mysteries.

Farscape is something I'd like to try, as is Terminator: SCC.

Farscape is a must see, I recently bought the full 52 disc(I think 52) box set. Watching all of the episodes/extras in HQ is so much better than online.

Other than Farscape I like Firefly, StarTrek TNG and Starhunter at the moment. Can't think of anything else right now.

[Elgnirp100]

Firefly, Doctor Who or Red Dwarf, depending on what mood I am in at the time

 

[Da Orky Man]

Ity seems I'm in good company here, with my selection as either Battlestar Galactica or Firefly, depending on the mood I'm in.

 

[Llil]

Farscape is really high up on my list, but that has already been mentioned multiple times, so here's something different:
That show is awesome. It's a bit silly at times, and the second season is a little weaker, but I still love it.

 

[Shadow flame master]

Battlestar Galactica

Cowboy Bebop

Mobile Suit Gundam(any of the series)

Eureka

That's all I got.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Dr.Who, Eureka, or Primevil. I was so close to putting Sherlock than I saw the title XD

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Babylon 5 with SG-1, Atlantis, BSG and Firefly as runners up!

 

[A Raging Emo]

Firefly, with SG1, Battlestar Galactica and Dr. Who as very close runners up!
