Introduction Sci-fi Fantasy Drama Dramady comedy

I am impressed with all the high quality fantasy and sci-fi shows in recent years. Fantasy and sci-fi are genres I like very much and I can't believe how many of them there have been. You are going to think that I am a complete TV addict, which I am sure that I am. With 365 days per year, and 24 show per season, it is easy to watch several series in the course of a year.
TitleYearCommentary
Battlestar Galactica2003 is absolutely brilliant. By season 3 it turns into a real gritty drama doing things that no other sci-fi show has done before. It has replaced "Buffy" as my favorite TV show. The grittiness of the show could be compared to "The Sopranos."
Dead like me 2003 is also brilliant. The first season was great and the second season was O.K. They are going to make a movie out of it. Bryan Fuller who created it went on to create "Wonder Falls", "Heroes" and "Pushing Daisies" which was at best mixed quality. He has created a new show called "Pushing Daisies" the premiere of which I watched last night and it was good in a more cartoon sort of way.
Heroes 2006 The first season was absolutely incredible. For some reason the second season has gotten to a poor start. Heroes is like a gritty and more realistic version of "X-men." It also reminds me a little of "The sopranos".
Smallville 2000 is clever and WB's replacement for Buffy. The first couple of seasons had many things in common with Buffy. Season 4 can be skipped almost entirely.

Smallville, Dead Like Me, and Heroes all make good replacements for the Buffy deprived Buffy addicts.

Lost 2004 is also brilliant and really broke new ground as far as TV entertainment.
Doctor Who 2004 The new BBC is not brillant but it is good, upbeat and fun to watch if you like sci-fi.
Reaper 2007 The new show is a cute comedy and light weight. It is about a guy who returns escaped souls back to hell.
"Moonlight" 2007 is a Friday night show about a vampire private detective. It is barely watchable. We have seen this before with "Angel."
"bionic Woman", 2007 I have just barely started watching the new which is darker compared to the old show. Don't know yet if I will like it.
Mash1972 This drama about doctors in a mobile army hospital intented the term "Dramady", where really it is a drama pretending to be a comedy. M*A*S*H deserves honorable mention for its 11 year run and and 35 years in re-runs.
"The 4400" 2004 a good if very low budget sci-fi show and drama. The pilot episode was exceptional and really caught my attention. Since then the shows have been good but by no means great.
House M.D. 2004 is but one of my favorite shows. I didn't watch it at first because I thought that it would be some stupid soap opera, but instead it is a really smart show.
Stargate SG-11998 lasted ten years and was good and a big improvement over the Stargate movie. The spin off Stargate Atlantis is also good, despite some flaws. These shows have a "star trek" feel to them. Season 7 was not very good, except for the beginning and the end.
Highlander 1997 was also a good very low budget fantasy show that was also a big improvement over the movie. The first few shows were a little rough before it got good. Season 6 was mostly a waste. I haven't seen the spin-offs.
Sliders 1992 I rewatched from the early 90's. The first couple of seasons are very fun to watch. The third season had problems. Season 4 was an improvement and and season 5 was barely watchable.
Farscape1999 Speaking of low budget sci-fi, I really like . For a while it was the flagship show of the Sci-fi channel. The first season was a bit low budget but it improved from there. Some of the later shows were a bit dark and maybe too dark. You have to get used to having realistic looking muppets with live actors.
