TV scifi shows in the '80s and '90s.

Watched all of the above, worte fanfic in most of the above.

 

Of course, my favorite pet theory was that Earth: final Conflict and X-Files were the same universe. Taelons, with their need for soldiers, workers, and reproduction were the "colonists." The alien "rebels" were the Jaridians, and a handful of Kimera survivors were running interference ("Genderbender," "Requiem"). Of course, said theory tops off with Sandoval knowing as much as he does because he screwed Mulder out of the basement office...

You generally have to open your mind while watching any tv show.

What are you implying?

 

Inventing new particles/elements to save the day = lazy writing, IMO.

[Boba Rhett]

I love, love TNG. I'd have to say it's my favorite show of all time. I have every episode and I'm even from the only place in the united states that voted to have TNG reruns on instead of Letterman every night.

 

Weird how I turned out to be a SW geek instead of a Trekkie.

[Totenkopf]

I do remember V as well as Quantum Leap (everything hits syndication at some point). I guess Greatest American Hero sort of falls into the cheese category with Mork 'n Mindy. Have seen Red Dwarf. Farscape and Roswell came out in 1999. Others not mentioned include ALF, Stargate SG-1, Hitchhiker's Guide, Alien Nation, Blakes 7, Sliders, The Sentinel, 7 Days, Millenium, 3rd Rock From the Sun and others that can be found at the link below

I forgot all about Sliders and ALF and they were two of my favorites. Who doesn’t love a wise cracking puppet that eats cats? ALF had it all.

[Titanius Anglesmith]

ST: TNG is definitely my favorite. I used to watch that show all the time, and I own seasons 3-7 on DVD. I admit, the first two seasons were pretty crappy, but it got way better from there.

[King Dando]

Sliders was awesome, but it went downhill after they killed off Prof Arturo

 

I have the first two seasons on DVD, I might get season 3, but not the rest.

Star Trek was always about exploration and discovery plus these "save the day" things only happened in one or two episodes. Or let me guess, you just laughed your way through every episode of every series until it finished?

I counted most of seasons 6 and 7 ending in this way

No. But I don't refute that it as a masterpiece that reshaped the fundamental nature of the Western world, which it wasn't.

Babylon 5 rules them all... end of thread.

I think you may have forgotten about the Greatest American Hero.

William Katt was probably the best actor in 1980's television.

[Rogue15]

o yeah the sentinel rocked. space above and beyond i watched a few episodes of that, wish i could've seen it from the beginning to understand wtf was going on though.

He had to be for a show that awful.

You are kidding right?

[Cygnus Q'ol]

You are kidding right?

 

Of course I am.

That was the most ridiculous show ever recorded, but wouldn't Mork & Mindy actually be classified as Sci-fi though?

 

...and let's think about Sesame Street for a second...

[Jae Onasi]

...and let's think about Sesame Street for a second...

 

Ah, yes, Super Grover!!

 

Does "Pigs in Space" on the Muppets count?

[logan essex]

Tell us how high you'd rate it and we'll let you know

Well, if your measuring scale is the Bad-Pun meter, it rates extremely high--almost as good as "'Veterinarians Hospital'--Where the Quacks Have Gone to the Dogs"

@ Jae's bad joke

ouch

 

let's see how many of the older generations here recognize this

Geez, the last time I saw Chuck Barris was in that clip from Sam Rockwell's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (correct title I think). Couldn't you get one of Jamie Farr or any of the other regulars.....

Yeah, how about Nipsy Russell.

[Totenkopf]

Maybe even a 2x shot, I think there were a coupla times when >1 went for the gong. It was an odd show, though. Maybe a gong should've been added to American Idol or America's Got Talent (neither of which I bother watching btw).

Well, my twin is a BIG V nut. As in, has the novels, the comics, the thole series on DVD, etc. Juliet Parrish was a childhood hero of hers. There was a BIG V LARP on the playfield, and My sister scored that role. She attributes a lot of her adult gaming habit to that era...
