UFO Was wonderful in the fact it didn't always have a happy ending. In fact at times the series could be very dark and brooding

Well I voted for One Step Beyond as I mentioned
it. Dunno why, it scared the H... out of me.
I will not vote UFO as it was completely
miserable as I remember. But it did feature
a Royal Navy SeaSlug missile shooting one
down. Only success the system ever had:)

Space Above & Beyond gets my vote, should of been at least another series :(
Oh & UFO, cos it won't get that many votes anyway :)

I remember enjoying UFO in my younger days. Never got into Buffy, so it's the only show on this list I voted for.

I only saw a limited number of episodes from GAH in reruns as an adult. I thought the show had some potential. I'm kinda disappointed that it's not considered more highly. . .

Though I must admit that I didn't see more than a few eps in reruns. . .

Buffy occupies a specialized niche in the fantasy/sci-fi world. The original movie was probably not as satirical as it should have been but the series decided to take a serious shot at the concept. It was the later episodes that really hurt it.

One Step Beyond and UFO I hadn't heard of until I asked for nominations. As far as Space:AAB, I did see the occasional episode and was intrigued.

Stepped up for the Marines here, but from what I remember when SciFi used to air UFO (back when they actually aired science fiction), it had a few episodes that impressed me. Decent character stories at that.

Space Above was great wasn't it? It even had replicants! :D
I borrowed it from a friend who'd taped it & I still remember my utter disbelief after I asked for the 2nd series ....

Yeah, it was. One of the few shows a few friends of mine who otherwise hate science fiction would actually stop and watch.

We were out at a bar one night playing pool, and while every other TV in the room had some sports game on, we had Space: Above and Beyond on, with the volume up, and a decent crowd gathered around. :)

Voted Buffy because it is one of my favourites ever, but I don't really see how it is a scifi series?

[Lord Jubjub]

Fantasy is included as are woo-woo shows
