Proton Soup said:Alphas is OK, but it's a bit of a cheap ripoff of Heroes (which may itself be an X-Men ripoff).X-men, meanwhile, may be a ripoff of the doom patrol, so that would be a highly nested ripoff.

haha sorry. Didn't mean to disrespect The Doc!jetwaterluffy;3567828ot said:Dr. Who. It can't be abbreivated to Dr. because it is a name, not a title. I'd rather you'd call it DoctorW or DW or Who.
Just me being a pernickety Doctor Who geek.
Alll Right! I did not realize that!FlexGunship said:Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! The original BBC television series. You can get it on DVD now and it's also on Netflix.

As kids we grew up on the original "Scooby Doo" 'toons. My biggest gripe with the more recent versions is they've taken a children's show about skeptical inquiry (note the ghosts where always fake) and turned it into yet another paranormal series. It's totally antithetical to the original spirit. That started with the (extremely annoying) "Scrappy" cartoons.Danger said:[...] I have become very fond of "Scooby Doo" shows, both the live action and the cartoons.[...]
Yea! It came with a button with the words "Don't Panic" and a pair of The Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses (black cardboard cut like cheap 3-D glasses but of course completely opaque). I'll have to see if I can locate the button in my packed up boxes. I should still have it somewhere. I wonder if it's worth anything to a collector?Danger said::tongue2: I still have my 800XL, but never knew of any games available for it.
PAllen said:Can't help but chime in that Lost in Space and Quantum Leap were two of the very rare sci fi shows that made me ill to watch.
I taped a note to my TV to make sure I wouldn't forget to watch "Lost In Space". One of my childhood memories.Evo said:Quantum Leap was funny, it wasn't meant to be serious.
Lost in Space was a victim of the time, but "Warning, Warning, Will Robinson!" will always be hysterical. I mean the robot waving his arms and shouting is a classic.

"Production and Decay of Strange Particles" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 20 April 1964, during the first season. The episode was likely the first dramatic film production to incorporate the concept of quasi-stellar objects (abbreviated as quasars or QSOs). These strange objects eject extraordinary amounts of energy, such as x-rays and gamma rays, as well as matter at relativistic speeds.

Henry Smith said:Big Band Theory and Mythbusters both are very good shows and both have so much for science information in it. Every thing is according to the scientific calculations.

I want to get into Firefly and Babylon 5 but I am not convinced it is worth the cost of buying the dvds.
Good science fiction shows are not always available but I think the 1990's was the best decade in the modern era.
Get the complete B-5 set (including the "movies") and be happy. In the beginning narration, G'kar says "nobody here is what they seem" (or some such) and that is true for the whole series. There are so many wrinkles and back-stories... If you can't afford to buy the series, subscribe to Netflix and rent it little by little. I should warn you that the first year's episodes (with a particularly wooden station commander) are a bit slow, but by the time Bruce Boxleitner shows up, the series really takes off.DrClapeyron said:I want to get into Firefly and Babylon 5 but I am not convinced it is worth the cost of buying the dvds.
Everything on Sci-Fi channel since they canceled Farscape is absolute crap. A coworker watches Eureka, had it on at the office, and I just couldn't understand what it was about. Much like SG-1 it featured too much techno-babble talk and a lot of fast pace scenes to advance plot holes.
