I have all of em on dvd but Japanese version with subtitles, could not even get through 3rd episode and I have 194 of em. The subtitles are horrible.

Spent over $100 bucks on that 3-4 box set.

One thing. You might consider it part of Farscape, but Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars (made, like, two years after the series concluded) is my favorite show (excluding Firefly, which destroys everything forever). I think it's actually better than the original.

1. Twilight zone (original series)- lets be honest, where would half of the storylines in modern day sci fi be without it
2 Far Scape- Perfect scifi fantasy show with humor and compelling characters
3. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - best pure writing on network television
4. Stargate
5. Deep Space Nine - The first sci fi show to deal with the realistic aspects of a war in space
6. Angel -
7 Outer LImits (both old and new)
8 Earth 2
9. Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.
10. Sliders- The first few seasons were classic and were going to break the mold. Then the Oconnel left to do great things like that darned Kangroo movie.
Up and Coming - my biggest pet peeve is when someone tells me that the song on the radio is their favorite song ever. IMO< how can it be your favorite song already. What ws your fave before that and do you replace numbers ones so easily all the time. I Love these shows and are some of my fave on tv right now but I'll have to see where they go.
The 4400- Wow, this show is actually original in a time where originallity has left
Lost - the same
Battlstar Gactica
Firefly- With one series it was a great season but too little for me to put it up there with the best

My 3 and 4 arent even on the master list. YIKES.
1. Firefly: No power in the 'verse can top it.
2. Buffy & Angel: Joss Whedon is my master now.
3. Twin Peaks: The best thing on TV before Joss came along.
4. Gargoyles: The greatest show that people never believed was any good, and the best cartoon of all time.
5. Hercules & Xena: Made Saturday nights fun.
6. Justice League Unlimited: True to the source like Batman:TAS, but with the entire DCU
7. V : well, I LOVED the two mini-series, and remember the regular series as being OK, I really have to re-watch these.
8. G.I. Joe: um, action fantasy? Its some sort of fantasy.
9. Transformers: transform, and roll out.
10. Friday the 13th The Series: Another show that people will not believe is good.
Honorable mentions: D&D cartoon, Tick, Freakazoid (the last two are all-comedy so they get pushed down) , Scooby Doo, DS9 (the best of the Treks)
Non scifi/fantasy shows: Veronica Mars , Lost (at least, not so far, (and I probably wouldn't put it up there), Animaniacs, Family Guy
On my "to watch" list: BSG (just watched the pilot) , Farscape, Babylon 5, Red Dwarf, 4400
Vaguely remember as good, need to re-watch: Earth 2, Brisco County

Top 10:
1. Babylon 5
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3. Firefly
4. Stargate SG-1
5. Farscape
6. Star Trek: Deep Space 9
7. Red Dwarf
8. Robotech
9. Star Blazers
10. Star Trek: The Next Generation
Time travel shows I used to watch included Voyagers and Time Trax. When I was a kid, I used to watch Buck Rogers, though now I just shake my head at the thought. Sliders was pretty cool in the first couple of seasons. I still like Alias, though that is more Spy-fi.

4) Battlestar Galactica
5) Star Trek: DS9
6) Star Trek: TOS
