Babylon 5 - Season one was a setup, then the show ran like hell until the end of season 4 when they crammed stuff together to avoid leaving the main plot unresoved when they anticipated cancellation.  Season 5 still had a lot of great stuff though.  Overall the best written Sci-Fi show to date.  Londo Mollari is my favorite Sci-Fi character next to the Doctor.2. Red Dwarf - 8 series of gut busting hillarity.  Awesome characters and fantastic writing.  This show was amazing.  I loved all 8 seasons.  Too bad the Smeg heads cancelled it after that.  3. Doctor Who - While any show that has ran for 26+ years will have some stinkers, most of the stories were excellent and overcame the horrid budgets.   The new show is good, but I really love the time from Patrick Troughton - Tom Baker.  Classic stuff.   The Cybermen are where the fan favorite Borg were stolen from, and the Daleks with thier shrill chants of EXTERMINATE are great.  Stories ran a huge range of styles and themes.  Great show. 4. Star Trek - TOS - Great adventures and dealt with all kinds of social issues(the Kirk/Uhura kiss was radical at the time), and had a great feel.  I really liked the characters and the setting.  To bad the shows tha followed were not as good. 5. Battlestar Galactica - The new series is excellent.  A real military feel to the crew and a lot of good stores.  Some weak plot points but overall I get engrossed by the show when I watch it.  One hell of a cliffhanger ending to season 1!  I love the religion angle and the possibilities it opens up.  Honorable MentionQuantum Leap, Star Trek DS9, The X-Files, The Outer Limits(original)The Bad1.  Star Trek Voyager - Just horrid.  Instead of really making it a desperate attempt to get home, it became standard Star Trek in the Delta Quadrant.   Just a terribly written show, when I did watch it I did so for 7of9 and her wonderful...parts.  2. Mutant X - Jeez this show was horrid.  I guess they throw X in the title and have a thinly ripped off X men theme and people will watch?  Ugh.  3. Star Trek Enterprise - A show with so much potential destroyed by terrible plots and writing for the first three seasons.  Unless Tpal is getting decontaminated leave me out!4. Sliders - A lot of great potential wasted.  It was ok until they got rid of the professor and got that one chick on there.  Again, a lot of wasted potential. 5. Cleopatra 2525 - nothing more needs to be said.  Dishonorable mentions - Galactica 1980, Andromeda, Earth: Final Conflict, Stargate SG-1</blockquote>
