"Greatness" is relative.

What specific quality(s) are you hailing?

Memorable? Innovative? History making? Biggest lasting impression? Most fans? Best stories or characters? All of the above?

Hasn't Bytemite taught you to be more specific with your wording YET?

"Greatness" as defined by me for the specific purposes of his thread:
A great SF space series must be innovative, telling stories or exploring characters in new ways not generally done before, it must have memorable and interesting characters that you come to truly care about, it must not exclude the use of humour despite being essentially dramatic in nature, it must be despised by the network (okay, that one's not actually a 'must'), it must make you LOL at times & cry at others, it must leave you wanting more.

I would add that to achieve greatness you'd also need a show that can still on it's own two feet today without being too outdated and what made the show great still holds true today (assuming it's an older show).

My list is in the order that I think of them.
And only spacey SF shows as requested.

Fleefly...erm...Furflung...err...Fireflay...the one with Castle in it.
Doctor Who Classic and New. (If I had to pick a top one it may well be this)
Battlestar Galactica TOS
Battelstar Galactica New
Star Trek TOS
Babylon 5
Red Dwarf
Blake's 7

Kinda stretching the definition of "Space" SF series, here (a few of my favourite "space-operas" end up largely planetbound):

Firefly: For reasons that should be obvious.
Farscape: For keeping the Creature Shop alive and daring to show us things other series would shy away from.
Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis / Universe: For remembering to be fun and adventurous without sacrificing drama and intelligence, and for being lucky enough to flesh out an ongoing, evolving universe for over 15 years (and still leaving us wanting more).
Star Trek DS9: I love all Trek, but DS9 has a special place in my heart. If I could, I'd live on that gloomy old station. . .
Andromeda: Whatever the series degenerated to, I maintain that the first season was some of the best SF I've seen on TV.
Robotech: Mainly for the novels, admittedly, which went further into space-opera than the TV show did --especially the prose-only SENTINELS sub-series (without the Sentinels, I probably wouldn't be a space-opera fan).
Oban Star Racers: For managing to pack more aliens per capita than any other series I've seen.
Macross Frontier: For letting me imagine what Robotech could look like if it was done today.
Heroic Age: For being easily the most EPIC-scale space-opera series ever. Other shows might have one God-race, this one has FOUR (with humanity well on its way to becoming either the Fifth, or extinct).
Gundam SEED / SEED Destiny / SEED Stargazer: There've been other Gundam series before and since, but the Cosmic Era remains my personal favourite just for the intricate worldbuilding, the internal politics, and my favourite starship captain:


(Honourable mention to Star Wars, though none of the TV series have really lived up to what it could be. I wanna see Rogue Squadron on TV, dammit.)

Nice to see another fan of the novels. All the other Robotech fans I know despise them.

I liked it also, but only because it gave us closure.



Here's my list in no particular order:
Firefly
Star Trek TOS
Star Trek DS9
BSG (reboot) up until New Caprica.
Farscape
Stargate SG1
BSG TOS
Space: Above and Beyond

I would put the first season of Andromeda, but the later seasons really really soured me on the show.

When the show came back after cancellation in 1979, it was thrilling for all the fans. Just to see those ships and uniforms again was cause for big celebration and anticipation. Unfortunately it was not what anyone hoped for, but it did have some memorable moments:
a. Invisibility belts (w/ Richard Lynch)
b. Flying motorcycles (w/ Brion James and Mickey Jones)
c. Time Travel - we finally see the Viper pilots use the here-to-fore never-used mysterious IM button! Cool time travel warp lights, and those wonderful "white uniforms" they had leftover from War Of The Gods.
d. Wolfman Jack! - He did a pretty good job at being himself, providing comic relief in the FIRST episode featuring human-looking Cylons.
e. Ana Alicia! - She was the vivacious Aurora, Starbuck's lost love and mutineer in the original series. For 1980, she played a Mexican farmer's daughter in California. Steals your heart away again!
f. Final episode: Return Of Starbuck- easily worth the $10 for the entire dvd set. Great episode with Dirk and his friend Cy. Judith Chapman adds beauty and mystery to the sad ending.

Oh, I remember when it came out and how excited I was about it. I also remember how disappointed I was with it.

You are correct about the memorable moments , though. Especially the starbuck episode.

IIRC, they re-edited it into the original series for syndication.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same


As for Space SF series, I can remember only one: Firefly

the 'Zone, & Outer Limits were anthologies, not series, not all SF, & not much Space. However, "On Thursday We Leave for Home" is about as good as it gets (DAMN good), & there were other eps of the 'Zone, plus a few of Outer Limits, that were great Space SF

I've seen most of the other series listed, & all are either just Space Opera (which I can't take seriously as SF), or not Space @all

I (mostly) don't watch Anime ('ceptin', o' course, Bebop), & have not seen Space: Above & Beyond

I think you may be unduly influenced by the bullshit in the Storyline section of the IMDb listing (but maybe not, since the series came out in 1973)

Correction to IMDb "the Starlost" Storyline: This show had a budget typical for an hour-long Canadian series (it was shot on video-tape, as all regular TV shows were at that time; use of film for TV shows did not become common 'til the '90s), but a lot of it went to Keir Dullea, & more was squandered by building a bridge set when the show bible didn't call for one (it wouldn't be needed 'til the end of the series)

As for "bad acting", no correction needed there

Hello Manatee:

You might want to try Vintagetvandmore, they have a collection of old TV series for sale. I bought Rocky Jones from them. Not the best, but Rocky was syndicated and they only could use what local stations had stored away.

I found "Men in Space" on YouTube. Someone called Hionthemountain has the complete series. So you can watch it for free. Looks better then my Rocky DVD's.

5: Being Human (unless it counts more as a fantasy show than a sci-fi show)



Dunno so much about the latter 2, but I'm definitely a Dr Who convert, as of late

And while I enjoy Being Human and Torchwood ( both BBC and US versions ), I'd personally not add them to MY list of BEST evers.


Space SF ? hmm...

There's Star Trek ( TOS ) of course.

The Clone Wars ( animated ) is actually pretty decent.

Farscape, with out a doubt.

Hmm..gonna have to think on this one a while.
