15. Star Trek: The Next Generation
13. The X-Files
11. Firefly
3. Battlestar Galactica
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
It’s an intersesting list, but I don’t agree with much of it. For one thing, [for the whole listing] it’s absurd to have “Saved by the Bell” on the list at all, much less above “Seinfeld.”
And there’s no mention of classic Star Trek, which makes the list lose a ton of points in my estimation.
But that’s why we’re geeks….we enjoy debating these things.
Batman the animated series beat out Babylon 5. Thats ridiculous. And I agree that STTOS being missing on this list makes this stupid.
I’ve said many times, that no one will ever agree on these lists.
stargate sg-1?
buffy as #1?
this list makes me very sad
ok i must be missing something. when was there ever a D & D television show?? I sure don’t remember this.

This list is a joke. The Price is Right is listed at number 10. Why is any game show on this list?
tim,
the Dungeons and Dragons show, was an ’80s cartoon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_&_Dragons_(TV_series)
tim and darcy low: I think they’re referring to the cartoon series that came on in the mid 80’s.
As for the list: Firefly is #11? I thought it should have been higher than that. At least in the top 10. Beevis and butthead gets a spot and Stargate SG-1 doesn’t. That invalidates this list right there.
You have to be kidding me. SG1 isn’t on the list?
SG1 is by far one of the best TV shows ever made. Yeah – it over did it the last few seasons on making fun of itself, but it is my all time favorite Sci-Fi show.
Its funny- I can guess the age of the person(s) that came up with this list.
Transformers? give me a break
Batman?
Superfriends?
Ahead of 24 no less!!!!! LOL
this list is an insignificant joke.
Does any1 know when the original Air Date/Broadcast Date was for Quantum Leap in Australia?.
I know we are at least 6months behind, it would of been way after it Aired in May of 1989 in the USA, but i cant remember when this 1 actually came on here.
thanks.
