Poll: What's your Favorite SciFi TV Series

Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 29th Dec 2006 21:45 UTC

Half of our readers are away in this holiday season, so traffic and news items are considerably down comparatively to normal weekdays. Why don't we have some Holiday Fun (TM) with a poll? Our friends at Slashdot put a poll up asking about your favorite sci-fi TV series, but they forgot two very important entries as their readers mentioned quickly afterwards: the most famous TV series of the '90s "The X-Files", and the already cult classic "Firefly". So we thought we recreate the same poll, but with these options in play, just so we see what our (mostly geek) readership likes the most. Even if we only have ~1/10 of Slashdot's traffic we can still have some fun with it!

I can't believe you left out:
1. The Twilight Zone
2. The Outer Limits

Also, how about the series hosted by Ray Bradbury and while maybe not technically a SiFi series, how about "The Prisoner"?

Obviously since you left so many series out I had to vote for "Other". :-)

And while I can't think of the name, how about the old one staring Kier Dulay, (spelling) which also had a Text Adventure game called Starcraft roughly based on the same story?

OK, maybe I am showing my age, but some of those old series were really great. After all, the imagination can provide much better special effects than anything else.

And yes I still have all my old Infocom games. :-)

Obviously, we can't include everything, just the most known in the last 20 years. Everyone else should vote "other", this is why we put it there.

I totally agree, 'The Outer Limits' is an excellent show plus 'Ray Bradbury' is awesome to. 'Tales from the Darkside' was good to, they play them on the SciFi channel sometimes.

Thanks, I forgot about that one. Also, Astounding Stories was pretty good. And, really showing my age now, How about the old Mercury series of SciFi stories on the radio? :-)

Am I the only one that is totally planning their New Years celebrations around the "Twilight Zone" marathon on Sci-Fi? Man, that show is amazing.
