The writing and the fact that it stuck to a single story from beginning to end over the course of 5 years really set the bar for excellence. Like someone before, it was the first series I ever taped from beginning to end before I purchased the DVDs.2. Battlestar Galactica 2004. This is the first time that we've seen any true grit in our scifi. This comes across as far more realistic than it really should, which is a good thing. I hope it has a long life.3. X-Files. The supernatural is something that has been tackled by many series, but this is the first time it was done with such style. I agree that it kind of petered out at the end, but even the last couple of seasons were worth watching.4. Farscape. Hello? Probably the most original series ever. It didn't always make a lot of sense, but that was part of the charm. It was very out there, but for what it was, the acting was amazing, the effects were great, and the writing was equally wonderful. Definitely a series I need to get on DVD.5. Stargat SG-1. It took me until the last year or so to actually grok it, but once I did, I fell in love with it. Sure, it isn't edgy in the same sense that the new BSG is, but it is a very good show.Honorable Mention: The Incredible Hulk. Bill Bixby, Lou Ferigno, they were the definitive hulk. After that show there is no reason to ever revisit it on film.Worst1. Andromeda. I went into this wanting to like it. I enjoyed Sorbo in Hercules and I thought that putting him in a space opera would be fun. Boy was I mistaken.2. Voyager. Another total piece of crap that I wanted to like but ended up hating. They should have aborted that series two years into it and made way for a Captain Riker series.3. Sliders. It seemed to suffer from a terminal lack of continuity. Other than that, it just wasn't very interesting.4. Buck Rogers. Even as a kid I thought it was stupid with bad effects and bad acting. Sure it was the '70s, but that isn't really an excuse.5. Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict. How did this piece of trash ever get the green light. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. I can't believe it stayed on the air as long as it did.</blockquote>
