OT - Good sci fi TV shows?

[gregebowman]

I read Starship Troopers probably about 25-30 years ago, so even I don't remember the plotline of the book. Just the opening chapter is the only thing I still remember. I would have reread the book when the movie came out, but I think it's at my mom's house in Oklahoma. I didn't feel like rebuying the book when I already have a copy. But I loved the movie. Has anyone seen those animated shows based on it? I haven't, but I plan on getting them eventually.

I would like to see movies based on classics, but in that time period. Case of point: War Of The Worlds. This is the book that turned me into a hardcore sci-fi nut. I read it when I was about ten years old, and I became so enamored with it that I couldn't put it down. I would love to see a movie based on the book set in the 1890's. The movie made in the 50's was good, but sometimes the source book is much better than what Hollywood can come out with after all of the compromises that must be done to make a movie. At least Peter Jackson is trying to be faithful to the spirit of the Ring trilogy. I heard somewhere that there was going to be a War of the Worlds movie that was going to be made, but then 9-11 happened and it was put on a back burner. Then a few months ago I read that Tom Cruise might star in a WOTW movie. Although I'm not all that enamored with Tom Cruise, if his name is attached to a project, maybe it will come out. Hopefully it's set in the past, not the future. And please, no remake of that god-awful TV show.
