75 Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV shows
To me it all began when I was a kid and say "Star Trek: The Next Generation" it was the very first sci-fi TV show I've ever seen and entry in the long running franchise. That show to me was warp one in the genre and has long gone from space and beyond. Sci-fi and Fantasy are my favorite genres and have been the kind of programs I've watched all my life. It's so fascinating because of it's creative freedom, pushes the boundaries of storytelling, how it explores concepts and ideas, challenges your thinking, feeds your imagination, and is just plain fun. And one of the best arenas is the small screen.
Here is a list of some of my personal favorites. This may not be a conventional list as you may thing certain entries may'be missing but as I said this is my list and like the genres themselves I'm not a conventional person. Also I wouldn't fret for those missing ones, who knows as time goes on the list will become bigger. For anyone that loves the genre or are rookies in it, like any planet and galaxy these picks are worth venturing to.
