Still B-5 is above BSG & Lost so it isn't all bad
And with no disrespect to the original ST, great show and I still ove it, but by no means the best that sci fi has to offer.
Nice to see Journey Man in there as well.
Red Dwarf in the low 50s though? Outrage! Glad B5 got a decent placing, as did DS9, but I think this countdown suffered from including some shows that have only just started, like Warehouse 13, Dollhouse and even True Blood. Not enough buzz about them yet to allow them gain a higher place. Would be interesting to see what the same top 100 looks like next year!
And yay for Bender, in there at 14!
Certainly padded out with a lot of anime/cartoon stuff though, although not surprisingly Twilight Zone kicked Outer Limits' arse!
<reads on>
Heroes given a kicking? Ok, I'm back . . . wait, Earth Final Conflict is 20 places above it?
<reads on>
Invader Zim top 50! Major thumbs up
. . . followed by ANDROMEDA being in the top 40. Oh.

Battlestar 9; Firefly, 3.
Ok, so the list was made by monkeys. But not entirely bad monkeys, who at least included a some shows that deserve some recognition, even if not in the bizarrely prominent place that some of them got (I'm looking at you, The Tick).
Yes, TOS deserves its place near the top of any SF list for its importance and influence over the entire genre. It's probably not what I'd choose for my desert island boxset
Can't really argue too much with the top 10, though I'm not sure what Max Headroom is doing there and I'd have Buffy higher for its genre-bending significance.
In its short life, Firefly was perfect and had great potential to be an all-time great but I wonder how well it will be remembered in 20 years time?
