Dr Who cares!

AMy Pond / Karen Gillan is one of the most beautiful woman around. She was the best part of the last season. Im not to fond of Matt Smith though. He isnt bad but he isnt good either. Very plain cardboard acting.
 
Serenity was a means of pacifying fans of the Firefly series due to an early cancellation by Fox. The fans wanted some sort of ending and they got one.

F'n Fox. :soap

Happily, Fillion manages to keep Capt. Mal sort of alive in his current series, Castle. :)

Castle is an excellent series. Can't say I ever cared at all for Firefly, no matter how much I tried. I've watched it all the way through 3x and still don't like it.
 
I'll pitch up for Warehouse 13 - I've only seen a few episodes - was rather disapointed that for all this time the show's been on I only *just recently* saw it.
 
Crap, I can't beleive I forgot about Dr Who. David Tenant is the best Dr out of the ones that I have seen along with William Hartnell who played the first doctor. The ones that, I have seen with Matt smith don't scream DOCTOR WHO like the ones with William Hartnell, and David tenant.
 
Blakes Seven was a classic in its time, influencing many of today's shows.

Wikipedia.
Blake's 7's legacy[citation needed] to future television and film space opera was the use of moral ambiguity and dysfunctional main characters to create tension, as well as long-term story arcs to aid cohesiveness. These devices can be seen in Babylon 5, Lexx, Andromeda, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Farscape, the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly. These programmes contrast with the simple good-versus-evil dualism of Star Wars, or the 'feel-good' tone and unconnected episode structure of early Star Trek and the series' main contemporary, Doctor Who.[9] Blake's 7 also influenced Hyperdrive and Aeon Flux.[49]
 
What about Stargate with Richard Dean Anderson?

Star Trek Next Generation trumped the original, imo.
X-Files is still a favorite - especially with the "smoking man" storyline.
 
Red Dwarf and X-Files.
 
Red Dwarf and X-Files.


OMG, not you too???


Red Dwarf wasn't sci-fi, it was a sitcom spoof! My gosh, you could more readily call Shaun of the Dead a horror movie, than call Red Dwarf Sci-fi. :doh:

None of the shows I like is on that list and hey... it's better than freaking Buffy the Vampire Slayer. :2razz:

Oh yeah, warehouse 13 is a great show, with a really deep plot. The character's are pretty permanent too (aside from Arty) and there's a lot of intricacies in the show asied from the larger theme; its a great show.
 
Battlestar, the modern remake. It pushed so many boundaries of television that it deserves recognition, and it did so in a seamless, intellectual, and far-reaching manner.

I feel that the Old B.G. was much better than the modern one.

I think so too. Yes, the old one was unabashedly campy, it was supposed to be. Ignoring Galactica 1980, which everyone should do except for the excellent last episode, the original Battlestar Galactica was just a lot of fun. Was it cheesy? Sure. But at least it wasn't abysmally dark and disgusting like the new one. There wasn't a single character in the new Galactica that I cared whether they lived or died and by the end of the first season, I just wanted everyone, the Galactica and the Cylons to fly into a black hole and die. It was yet another show where there was no light whatsoever, no hope at the end of the tunnel and lacking that contrast, all the darkness means nothing.

Besides, the ending has got to be the most idiotic in the history of television.

You have a point. I enjoyed the new BSG, but there were times I shook my head at some of the personal drama and the darkness of the characters. It is one thing to have "heroes with feet of clay", it is another thing to dredge up all the ugliness in their past, and all the worst aspects of their current character, until the viewer begins to lose most of his sympathy for any of them.

Adama was the character I cared about most to the end, but he had been revealed as a crappy father, and made some very bad decisions through the series.
Lee Adama was a whiny spoiled beeyotch who needed to be shot in the head.
Kara Thrace was a hateful slut with no concept of military discipline or basic decency.
By the end, almost every character had lied, cheated, betrayed, abused someone, and/or done something colossally stupid and selfish.

It had that in common with Deadwood.

I never saw the ending. The New Galactica was too much like a soap opera for my taste though. The old show had a huge amount of heart in it and it was just a fun time watching it too. The Cylons looked cooler in the old one too. Plus I really DID care about the characters. In the new BG I didnt care about the characters much and it just seemed to serious for its own good. Im MUCH more impressed with the new Doctor Who. They keep it campy but they also made the characters 3 dimensional too.
Then Matt Smith and Moffett took over and it went downhill last season. But thats a story unto itself.
 
Wow, I've probably seen every episode of Quantum Leap at least twice. When I was a kid it was on right after I got home from school so I'd watch it every day. I've recently rediscovered TNG, which I used to watch as a kid a lot too. The X-Files is classic until it started turning into a ****ing soap opera. That was absolutely terrible. And now of course that is what every show on TV is like.
 
I cant believe tos is beating tng by 2 votes. TNG is one of the greater accomplishments of the 20th century.
 
Dr. Who

No offense but I have always thought Star Trek sucks ass:)

Why is Buffy on this list?
