My sci-fi television shows rank as follows (when it comes to space war like shows like these).

Babylon 5: 10 (except for that Last season)

Farscape: 11 (either you love this show, or hate it)

TOS: 10 (I can watch any episode of this, simple plot, character oriented)

TNG: 8 (was excellent during the middle, early too cheezy, late too boring [signs of what to come after Rodenberry died])

DS9: 5 (was ok, but definite rip off of B5 epic-battles, and done too poorly)

VOY: 1 (never watched this beyond the odd episode)

Earth Final conflict: 0 (knew some people who worked on the set, it was very cheaply done, even from behind the scenes)

Third Wave: 8 (got caught up in this, only to realize it was cancelled the year before)

Stargate SG1: 9 (never watched this until there was nothing on during a particular boring part of the day, started watching it, and it really caught on. Simple 1 topic plots, character development, added applicable humour at parts, same 4 people, keeps continuity in plot. Really reminded me of TOS)

G vs. E (good vs. evil): 9 (sort of a sci-fi, all about dead demon hunters (basically neutral people working their way into heaven after they die) done in a 1970's style, yet again cancelled)

The absolute best thing that ever came out of the Star Trek universe, according to me, is 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. It was an unbelievably bad script, but was done very well. To me, this is what Star Trek is. ONE main plot, the starship all by itself solving its problem, action, using skill over technology [what star trek was until late TNG decided it was technology over skill].

Realistically, Star Trek died with Rodenberry. The rest are merely cover-bands or Elvis impersonators.
