Dr Who is a classic, I grew up with that one. My wife and I whatched on our Wedding night. She has known me as a Doctor Who fanatic.

Blakes 7 was a good one too.

There was a Cartoon in the early 80's. It was with a battle ship that was launch in to outer space. I can not remeber the show for the life of me. But if anybody can remember this it would be great. All I remember was that this battle ship turned into a space ship and they were racing to a place to sav the earth.

Comedy: 1st) "Red Dwarf", 2nd) "3rd Rock From The Sun", 3rd) "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (mini)"
Drama: 1st) "Carnivale", 2nd) "Blake's 7", 3rd) "ReGenesis"
Misc.: 1st) "The Twilight Zone (1959)", 2nd) "Star Trek (1966)", 3rd) "Dark Skies"
Documentary: 1st) "Cosmos", 2nd) "Red Space", 3rd) "Space (Hyperspace)"
Running Series: 1st) "Doctor Who", 2nd) "Torchwood" 3rd) "Supernatural"
Foreign: 1st) "Na rubu znanosti (eng. Borderline science, Croatian, TV/talk show)" 2nd) "Redes (eng. Network, Spanish, TV/talk show" 3rd) "Space Battleship Yamato (Japanese, animation)"

Close, but not quite: "Heroes", "Battlestar Galactica (2003)", "Firefly", "Dexter's Laboratory", "Samurai Jack", "X Files", "Taken (mini)", "Twin Peaks", "The Future is Wild",...

Dark side of the moon: "Lost", "The 4400", "Millennium", "Babylon 5", "Stargate Atlantis", "Stargate SG-1", "Eureka", "Jericho", "The Triangle (mini)", "Futurama",...

Notes: "ReGenesis" and "Firefly" have no proper endings as they were canceled during production. "Dark Skies" could fall into this category (canceled series) also. Other than abrupt endings of this series I think they were all top of the class Sci-Fi for its time, budget and targeted audience. "Red Space" is a mystery to me as it's not even listed in IMDB. It was aired on Discover Channel some two years ago and was a documentary series on the Soviet space program. It was to some extent fictitious as there were many speculations like "what could have been", "what really happened" and so on.

not to start the inevitable joss whendon vs. the army of farscape & futurama "discussion" again, but I'd say firefly</i> didn't HAVE a target audience. how many "spaceship" oriented sci-fi fans want to watch a western and vice versa? sci-fi is pretty niche as it is (compare the accolades BSG gets and it's actual viewership/ratings). sci-fi always dies quickly on major nets. firefly</i> was a niche of a niche sort of setup. I liked it. and it was high quality. but there's noway people are even gonna watch it long enough to get past the fact that they're watching a "spacey" sci-fi masquerading around as a western or vice versa or some weird hybrid (like people aren't going to stick around farscape long enought to get past the rubbery & muppet appearance and the wandering - almost disconnected - first 20-odd eps). ffs, they even had a cattle driving episode. :lol:

I liked Fire Fly, I don't have a problem with westerns dressed up as Sci-fi i.e. Ghost of Mars, Outland and Moon Zero Two or as horror like JC's Vampires, but I like westerns :) Good things can come from mixing up genres look at Frankenstein sci-fi/gothic horror. A good story can be a good story regardless of setting look at how many times Yojimbo has been remade.
