Best:
1. Star Trek - TOS: Set a standard. Sure, you can nitpick about a lot of it but the episodes are still great fun to watch. Way ahead of its time.
2. Twilight Zone (Original) - Wonderful anthology series. A delight to watch.
3. Star Trek: DS9 - A masterpiece.
4. Quark - Quirky 1978 space satire brought to you by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Didn't last long but was a lot of fun. Galaxy Quest fans would enjoy it.
5. My Life and Times - Only ran for six episodes back in 1991 but I really enjoyed it. The premise was a man in a 2030's nursing home reflecting back upon key events of his life to his grandson.
Worst:
1. Galactica 1980 - Any show that depends upon Jerry Van Dyke exploring earth on a motorcycle has nowhere to go but down. And Cousin Oliver as the brains behind the missions didn't help much either
2. Land of the Giants - By far the weakest of Irwin Allen's quartet of consecutive 1960's sci-fi series. Bad acting and bad special effects. Most episode used the exact same plot (try to hide from giant people, get seen, get chased, get caught, escape).
3. The Lost Saucer - Mid-70's Saturday morning live action show starring Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi as aliens stuck on earth wearing costumes similar to today's Teletubbies.
4. Space 1999 - Very bad show all the way around. Bad premise, bad acting, even crappy miniatures (they had the toy model company make them for sale as a show tie-in and then used the same kits for the show).
5. Cleopatra 2525 - Everything about this show came off like a weak attempt to just recycle anything leftover from Xena/Hercules.
