Babylon 5 is nambaa waan!

V was also very cool. I loved it.

How about Misfits of Science? Cool show... Does Knight Rider count as sci-fi? Then there's The Powers of Matthew Star...Automan...Mannimal...Benji and Zaxx...Beauty and the Beast (the TV show)...when did Quantum Leap start? Voyagers!
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Did you know that the brother in Small Wonder went on to become the lead singer for Smashing Pumpkins?

Hmmmph.  How embarrassing.  

*Skar flagellates himself for spreading a false rumor.

I'm a little surprised Stargate SG-1 or X-Files weren't on the list. But I feel that a lot of SciFi fans aren't quiet sure what to think of those shows. Maybe they're just too current.

The intro mentioned X-Files specifically, and excluded it because it wasn't about space or the future. So they were working with a pretty narrow set of parameters.
