Default OT - Good sci fi TV shows?

The only Sci Fi shows i ever see anymore are Lexx (not very good), ST-Voyager (Not bad), ST-NG (I've seen 'em all), Andromeda (bleh), and some other horrible owe I never heard of late night.

Anyway, seems they just don't make sci-fi like the used to... Babylon 5 was good but seems gone... The new star trek seems so lame... Just no energy and it's like on one channel in the country...

So what's good these days?

Ken

P.s. any recommendations for any good sci-fi movies that I may not have seen? B movies that weren't bad?

Stargate SG1 was a suprise, considering its parrent film.

It has a story arc. It has continuity. It uses established story line in developing plot. The cast has a chemistry that would have brought some life, to the otherwise good, but dry B5.

It single-handedly revised my interest in sci-fi.
I was so used to Rodenberryesque fantasy, I forgot what Science Fiction was.

I was never a Richard Dean Anderson fan either, until now. And I must say, I like his show more than his politics.

2. Deep Space 9
3. Stargate SG-1
4. Farscape
5. Star Trek Next Generation
6. Star Trek
7. Enterprise
8. Andromada
9. Battlestar Galactica (Damn good show, too bad it was dropped in the first season.)
10. Buck Rogers

Babylon 5 is my all time favorite Sci Fi show. In fact, it is my all time favorite TV series (closely followed by Hill Street Blues).

I have enjoyed every episode of Star Trek : Deep Space 9, but have not seen that many of them (scheduling problems)

I have enjoyed Star Trek : Enterprise very much also.

I must comment on this one. I would strongly recommend seeing this miniseries. It was a awesome show and very well written. What do you expect from Spielburge though. It was only 5 or 6 shows but everyone of them were great.

IMO if you want good Sci-Fi forget the TV, get a book or even better, a magazine like Analog
