I still haven't seen Invader Zim. I did hear good things about it, though I still have no idea what it is about.

Invader Zim is not sci-fi, it is a comedic cartoon.

Even though it's not sci-fi, Invader Zim is awesome. I have a few clips of it on my computer.

I did not make a value judgement of the show, just a statement about it not qualifying as sci-fi.

ST:TOS vs. ST:TNG is almost a religious war kinda division. I have many friends who absolutely loved TOS but can't stand TNG. My friends who like TNG will still watch TOS but feel that is is a bit flat. The stories in the original series always had just a single plot line, and the characters showed much less depth. But there was more action. The Next Generation typically had three plots going on, and we got to see more character development. But, of course, there wasn't as much action in many episodes.

I like Star Trek: The Original Series before they had fleshed out the Prime Directive. There is an episode where Kirk tells Scotty to "glass" the planet if he doesn't hear back from Kirk. I enjoyed that episode. Then again, Riker's dreadnaught Enterprise in the final TNG episode was nice as well--as were the one shot, one kill weapons in the final episode of V'ger.

I'm a pretty big Star Trek fan but still think B5 is a better choice for best sci-fi series because it's darker and more representative of how I see the human race in the future. The whole "money isn't important" idea of Star Trek is a little too touchy feelie idealistic for my taste.
