That list obviously has quite a few problems. For the sake of brevity, I will just point a few.
First, the new Battlestar Galactica is a great show, but I think it is too early to put it that high on the list. Perhaps after another few seasons. The same goes for Lost.
Voyager is on the list, but Deep Space Nine is not?!?!?!
Where is Farscape?
Why is the Jetsons on the list?
Xena is not sci-fi.
Was there actually a Logan's Run series?

I love Batman, but what the heck makes that sci-fi? The Bat-gadgets?
Anyone heard any talk of a DVD release of Science Fiction Theater? This was a favorite show of a friend of mine. I think the SciFi Channel used to run it early in the morning, but that was years ago.

Firefly and Dark Angel shouldn't be that close on any ranked list, ever.

Yes, there was a Logan's Run series. Horrible doesn't even begin to describe it.
No DS9 or Farscape, but these bozos added Sliders, Batman, Buck Rogers, That Was Then, Flash Gordon? Tales From The Crypt is great, but not sci-fi.
Lost and the new BSG kick ass, but it's way too soon. And Futurama is too far down the list.
Something new must be stinking up Boston Harbor for a list like this one to be made.

It's not just the crap and non-scifi that they put in there and the good shows they left out, but it's like the shows that are on the list are just placed in a random order. I mean, Futurama is #41, and then the Jetsons are #25. And Voyager at #14? Sliders at #10? Buffy below Stargate Atlantis?

How can Firefly even be listed? If it did not have enough of a following to last more than 1 season, how could it be on the top 50. Don't get me wrong, I love the show but clearly alot of people did not or else they would still be producing new episodes.
What a screwed up list.........

It's not even worth arguing about this list. Xena? Voyager and no Deep Space Nine Funny stuff.
