    In no particular order

    • Battlestar Galactica

    • Farscape

    • MST3K

    • Travellers

    • Most Star Trek and Stargate

    • Dr Who

    • Electric Sheep

    • Twin Peaks

    • X-Files

    I’ll probably add to this as they occur to me

      I really want to know why MST3K comes up on these lists so often. I sat down to watch it and it was just some shitty old movie being watched by 2 semi-funny average joes. Like, Gogglebox is better, and that’s not even good. What am I missing??

        It was a show a bunch of us watched late at night for years. Cable didn’t have a ton of great options in the 90s. But mostly I love it because it’s made by huge nerds doing nerdy crap with props and generally having fun. It’s just a comfort show for me I reckon.

      Agree. Also

      • Firefly — if you somehow haven’t seen it yet
      • Babylon 5 — if you can stick with it past a very rough season 1, seasons 2-4 are very good
      • Stargate SG-1, and to a much lesser extent Atlantis

        Ooh yeah all solid. Firefly obviously, Babylon 5 was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. And I did mention Stargate, but I’m only now kinda watching SG-1.

        Farscape is excellent, but it’s very trippy and the heavy use of Muppets may be offputting to some. And it’s far from harder scifi like the Expanse.

      I second Battlestar Galactica. I keep meaning to rewatch it. All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again.
