Thread Starter 
Following the fun threads created by Dimitrios... I would like to know your all time top 3 "Sci'Fi" shows... can be any time or any era.

Here are mine...

SAPPHIRE AND STEEL 1979-1982: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_gjHmEUiaxo
Joanna Lumley and David McCallum are interdimensional operatives repairing snags in the material of time!

BLAKES 7 1978-1981: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6cuTl8_oWi4
Follows the exploits of revolutionary Roj Blake as he leads his band of reluctant rebels against the forces of the totalitarian Earth Federation which rules the Earth and many of the planets of the galaxy.

THE TOMORROW PEOPLE 1973-1979: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xez4o1ujOPI
The Tomorrow People operate out of a secret laboratory, The lab, built in an abandoned London Underground station. They watch for new Tomorrow People "breaking out" to help them through the process and sometimes deal with attention from extraterrestrial species. Brrrr!

Night Gallery
(Really more horror/suspense than sci-fi per se, but many sci-fi story lines.)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
(By far the best thought out and the most engaging of all the Star Trek series.)

The Outer Limits
(The new version over the old, please.)

I LOVE Mystery Science Theater 3000! Is that still on, or did it finally go off the air?
Wisecracking aliens and B movies -- what a kick-ass combo!

Oh derrrrr, how could've I forgotten about the X-Files?!?!?!!? What an awesome show. I had such a crush on Gillian Anderson back in the day.

And Matt - I don't have cable so I don't know if they show reruns anymore, but I'm pretty sure no new episodes have been made for quite some time. I would LOVE to get the entire DVD collection, though!

OOOOOH!

Only 3?

Well, here's a stab at it:

1. Battlestar Galactica (either versions)
2. Star Trek: Voyager
3. Dr. Who

1. Babylon 5 (+ Crusade) - The most gripping and addictive 5 and a half year journey ever.
2. Star Trek The Original - Although the last two seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise came close to matching it, shame about the first two whimpy seasons.
3. Space Above and Beyond - the first and most insane of the stupid cancellations, then followed by Dark Angel and Firefly.

Interesting how Wild,Wild West was nominated - I was always wondering how come James West had more clever hidden weaponry and gadgets than Napoleon Solo. And, though small in height, Dr.Loveless was the most ruthless and chilling arch villian ever - in one epsiode he even developed biological weapons to wipe out all of mankind (except for him and his girlfriend).
