[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1026504, member: 4779"] After reading through this thread again it got me thinking - perhaps the 90s spoiled us a bit? Specifically, the last 10 years have been really kind to the science fiction/fantasy genre. Even with all the cancellations. Let me recap and I'm sure I won't hit all of them. I'm not listing my favorites here, I'm listing the stuff that was considered good by the majority of genre fans. A few of these are still around, others were cancelled but that doesn't mean that we didn't get to enjoy them to some extent. I have also not listed shows that did not make it at least one full season. Also included are some that are a mixed bag to most folks but are still genre shows and do have a fan base:[list][*]X-Files [*]Buffy: The Vampire Slayer [*]Angel [*]Babylon 5 [*]Star Trek: Deep Space Nine [*]Star Trek: The Next Generation [*]Farscape [*]Futurama [*]Roswell [*]Stargate: SG-1 [*]Smallville [*]Alias [*]John Doe [*]Jeremiah [*]The Tick (animated) [*]Invisible Man [*]The Chronicle [*]The Pretender [*]Hercules: The Legendary Journeys [*]Xena: Warrior Princess [*]Witchblade [*]The Outer Limits [*]First Wave [*]Profiler [*]Highlander [*]Star Trek: Voyager [*]Forever Knight [*]Earth: Final Conflict [*]Charmed [*]Sliders [*]Andromeda [*]Lexx [*]Dark Angel [*]Millennium [*]Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman [*]Mutant X [*]SeaQuest DSV[/list]These are just the shows that have aired in the last 10 years, some lasting longer than others. With the exception of a few (Star Trek Next Gen being the most notable) all of them began and ended their runs in the last 10 years. That's alot of TV in there, especially when compared to the 10 years before it. I guess a lull was coming. This may be a slow year but I'm sure things will pick up within the next few years. :) Reality TV I think is a fad. It will be big for a while then people will get tired of it. It won't go away but we probably won't see as much of it. [SIZE=1]Unless they start pulling some "Running Man" type stuff on us....[/SIZE] EDIT - made a few additions to the list [/QUOTE]
