I just found this, and thought I’d see if it was already discussed:
Sliders, Xena, Voyager, and SG1 beat FireFly? What the Frack!
If I know one thing, I know this…firefly was far far far far ffar far far far far far far better then sliders. I’ll say it again…Iliked sliders, but firefly is abot ten times beetter lol. Now, don’t kill me when I say its also better then sg1 lol
WHAT??? This is outrageous. Exactly what about Xena is SciFi? I guess BSG is so good that Lucy Lawless’ affiliation with both just grandfathers it into the list.
Everyone knows that forests=fantasy and metal=scifi. Also, what scifi Lost does have makes it way better than Sliders. Sliders was great but doesn’t belong in any top ten list. There are also about a dozen other shows that aren’t even scifi. Quantum Leap at #21? How dare they! What kind of person made this list?
IMO nothing beats BSG and Firefly as far as writing and drama. I am a huge SG1 fan and it is right at the top for me.
yea, it’s pretty ridiculous, but let’s put it into perspective everyone.
the list was compiled by Boston.com. the official website of the city of Boston, Massachusetts.
not exactly a source known for their sci-fi credentials, so it must be taken with a grain of salt.
So Excalibur was Sicfi and Predator was fantasy? 
IMO nothing beats BSG and Firefly as far as writing and drama. I am a huge SG1 fan and it is right at the top for me.
That we can agree on.
It’s a shame how many of their descriptions included the words “ended too soon”
Not that it makes much diff, but I doubt that my fair city cares one way or another about the top 50 scifi shows (though it is a pretty good arts city). Boston.com is the online presence on the city’s biggest newspaper, the Boston Globe.
So blame them.
Never look to the press for good information.
One, Xena is NOT Sci Fi & never will be. How does a angry, back flipping, leather clad, almost dominatrix battling ancient greek gods qualify as SciFi?
Two, sliders sucked. It was quantum leap meets a bunch of people with too much time of their hands.
Three, Voyager wasn’t all that great.
Firefly was so much better.
That’s funny. We could write a whole book on how to tell the two apart but see 30 sec and tell right away. Maybe we can combine them?
Witchtrek - Can a broom travel faster than light?
Harry Potter and the Battle of Wolf 359 - Hope the Borg can adapt to expelliamus.
Lord of the Droids - One Droid to rule them all. Kevin Smith to direct in 2009.
Come to think of it, X-Files was a bit of a combination.
