Boston.com has produced this list of the Top 50 Sci-Fi TV Shows of all time. As usual, the list is being disputed by sci-fi fans everywhere. My personal irritations include the inclusion of Star Trek: Voyager, Earth: Final Conflict (which made #50) and Andromeda, while omitting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Angel (though Buffy placed five spots beneath Andromeda), and Red Dwarf. Other notable shows that aren’t included on the list are Robotech, Time Tunnel, and Charlie Jade.
