Glad to see that LOST made the cut.  I adore that show.

Cheers, Kyle

I would have added The Outer Limits but hey.

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

Can't believe they don'y have Doctor Who on the list.  It has been on TV for decades.

They do..its number 7

 

[Michael OLeary]

I'd add a special mention for Surface, another intriguing show canceled after one season.

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

The only sci-fi show that I ever went out of my way to watch.
Millennium

 

[HItorMiss]

Millennium was an awesome show right until I think second season when Chris Carter fired the writers who also did "Space Above and Beyond" (which was also an amazing show) because they we telling a story vice his idea of just rambling on with no direction or discernable answer why I stopped watching the X files

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Yea, it did fade near the end, but when it was on.........

 

[CougarKing]

WHAT? SHEN ME? COMO?

Zut! Darn it. "Space Above and Beyond" isn't there.  :crybaby:

Or any in the "Aliens", "Predator", "Godzilla", or Starship Trooper series. Or any anime for that matter like Ghost in the Shell. Oh well.

 

[HItorMiss]

TV shows...not movies Cougar..

Space Above and Beyond should have been on that list though

 

[aesop081]

Glad to see Quantum Leap was on there........i liked that show

 

[Blindspot]

What?! No Buck Rogers in the 25th Century?!

Gil Gerard is responsible for who I am today... or was that Twiki?

 

[WrenchBender]

Can't be a valid list there's no 'Red Dwarf' or 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'

[Greymatters]

I thought "Sliders" was intriguing, although it really started to suck after season 2..

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

Harsh Realm was pretty good but it was not a show I was disappointed if I missed an episode.

 

[dangerboy]

Unfortunately it got canceled so there is no real ending to the show. 

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

Unfortunately it got canceled so there is no real ending to the show. 

Much like so many good shows....

 

[medaid]

I was really surprised that SG1 didn't make the actual list... Oh well.

 

[CougarKing]

I was really surprised that SG1 didn't make the actual list... Oh well.

Indeed.

[Dirt Digger]

The pilot of Harsh Realm was partially filmed in the Jericho (Vancouver) PMQ patch.  My nephew made something like $200.00 in the opening scene for riding his bike down a hill.  Big coin for a five year old, but since then his acting career has stagnated. 

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

I think your nephew should have got the Oscar that year that ground breaking performance.
