I was going to list Red Dwarf too but the rules debarred comedy, I also included Sarah Jane Adventures in Doctor WhoHow can you forget the Gerry Anderson puppets? Thunderbirds was much more convincing than Space: 1999.

....Automan? Really? Do you want to go into more detail on that one? I am ... confuddled by that choice.
I like the positivity of Automan, the FX for a TV show of the time was great, and the merge of super hero and buddy cop genre very much distilled the zeitgeist of the era whilst still maintaining a self deprecating sense of fun. Sci fi is too often dark and heavy, Automan managed to shine with digital light
