Default Re: OT - Good sci fi TV shows?

OK, I'm not saying you are wrong (or am I?). You are fully entitled to your opinion.
But I haven't smiled once wathcing SG1. Maybe I haven't given it a reasonable chance,. Only seen about 5 episodes.

Yes, Andromeda suffers from the unbeatable syndrome aswell with superheroes, but i think there is something funny in almost all episodes.
Perhaps I have a strange sense of humour or it might be I'm not native speaking english

SG1 to me really shouts, Hey, look what we high scool students can make! (I e low budget and bad plot and actors).
I liked mcGyver though, that might be one of the reasons I don't like SG1.
I always thought it very funny how he could build a nuke from a lighbulb and sugar or whatever; (Everything contains atoms, right? If I just can get them to split...)

Yes, Bab 5 also has it's downs but the story was great. Interweaven plot through several seasons. Not very much paradoxes and "unbelivable" stuff.
I always though a Sci Fi story needs "credability" within it's own context.

My favorite Sci Fi ever is Asimovs Foundation Series!
