What about other times? How about the preeminent show of ALL times and all genres? Priceonomics ranks Firefly as #1 most popular canceled cult TV show, published Sep 30, 2016. Unlike most of these cult TV listings, this one has some stats behind it. Priceonomics looked at 500 TV shows canceled within 3 years of first airing and ranked them by the number of IMDB ratings the shows got - as they say, "a good but imperfect proxy for fan devotion and popularity". Priceonomics also ran a separate list by rating, and again Firefly came out on top. https://priceonomics.com/ranking-the-most-beloved-tv-shows-that-got/

For some reason right now, I'm not recollecting much Sci-Fi from the 80's TV. I don't really consider Knight Rider to fit the genre. And I was disappointed in ST:NG

Which makes me still smarter than you to be able to recognize the great characters and writing and acting of Babylon 5. You are a sad little man sitting on a sad little hill.

Even though I'm hearing very good things about it, I can't help but think... not only has this been done, it's been done, redone and done again ! Battlestar Galactica, anyone ? And yes, I know the original WW came out well before, but the basic premise, machines which look human start to become self aware... yeah, it's been done. Doesn't mean I won't watch though. Dammit.

Fair, but just so everyone knows: It mixes sci-fi and western, and Gina Torres was in the last episode. Felicia Day tweeted this about it though: "Westworld and the way they deal with the women AI makes me really uncomfortable. Also that "theme park" needs more snack options. #dolewhip" I felt the same way.

I've only seen the first episode, but I would expect she means how they are objectified, either as sex objects (Thandie Newton's saloon hall girl) or as the damsel in distress (Evan Rachel Wood).
