I already told you all LEXX is the best SIFI show ever http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif , that or Mystery Science Theater 3000.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">MST 3K is a great comedy show, sure. LEXX is trash tv, not technically classifiable as Sci-Fi. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Everyone who has ever posted on this form about the best SciFi show is wrong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif (except me) It's the new Outer Limits. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?
 

It is a toss betwen Bab5 and Red Dwarf, IMO.
ST:TOS is brilliant too but I don't care for sequels

Re: OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?
 

Outer Limits is awesome. But since it isn't about a consistent cast of characters, I think it should be put in its own class--e.g. anthology? So, you would compare Outer Limits to Twilight Zone, etc. Of course, that is just one way of thinking about it.

I like Babylon 5 the best. It seems pretty rare to have five? years of episodes all internally consistent and all advancing one plot. I still can't imagine how JMS pulled it off.

Does X-files count as Sci-Fi? I don't really like personally but I'm just making suggestions.

This makes me want to see more B5, does it come on Sci Di network any more or did they get rid of it?

EDIT: I just remembered, if Cowboy Bebop counts it is definitely in the top 5(might not count cause it's Anime, but it still kicks ***).

Just wanna reply to the topic, No way! I could see three episodes and then I just couldn't take anymore, it was bad.

Re: OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?
 

If we eliminate shows like "Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits," which I think is a legitimate exclusion because anthology shows are vastly different than ones with continuing characters, etc., and, if we eliminate "X-Files," which could also be legitimate as many of the shows were more horror than SF, then I'd have to agree that "Farscape" is number one. Of course, tv SF is even worse than movie SF, so this might not be saying much, but I think that "Farscape" easily beats most movie SF also. I'm sorry it's being cancelled.

As for MST3k, it's possibly my favorite show ever, but it doesn't seem fair to compare it to "normal" SF series.

Farscape doesn't have much when compared to Babylon 5. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?
 

For me, the best is B5 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif
