What Is The Best Sci-Fi TV Series Ever?

Posted on July 27, 2012August 24, 2012 by Chris McQuillan

It’s 2012, and before the world ends, it’s time to settle the matter once and for all.  Which sci-fi series is the best ever?

Can Adama’s determined stares and frowns beat Captain Sisko‘s?  Will Kevin Sorbo’s Dylan Hunt mean more to you than Nathan Fillion’s Malcolm Reynolds?  Or will SG-1’s Sam Carter triumph over Katee Sackhoff’s Starbuck?  It’s time to decide.

We’ve lined up our favourite choices below.

You only have one vote.  Use it wisely…

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Have we missed a classic?  Let us know in the comment section and we’ll add it for you!

    Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles is part of a huge sci-fi franchise and the show itself has a cult following, not only in the USA.
    Did i mention that Summer Glau plays in it?

    Eureka should be there. I won’t vote for it, but it should be there. It’s sci-fi comedy, much like Doctor Who and Stargate SG-1.

    Really? 13 episodes makes it the best series ever?!?! Have you even watch any of the others? Frankly, there are at least a half dozen that are better than Firefly.

    Where are Space:1999 and Quark? Seriously, if you’re going to include every single Stargate show, and Kyle XY, you need to add Space:1999 and Quark.

    Why has Alien nation got 4% and 0 votes? When Stargate universe has got 0% and 42 votes?

      I think the software just reallocates the remaining percentages to the lowest, to make everything add up to 100%.
