does anyone remember?

Talking about older sci-fi shows, does anyone remember The Invaders ?
This was a great show that aired back in the late 60's and only ran about
2 seasons but was really a classic. It starred Roy Thinnes as architect David Vincent who stumbles onto a plot by aliens to invade and conquer earth. It is actually out on DVD now (all 43 episodes).

...And just a question, why did no one mention X-FILES? MAybe the greatest sci-fi show ever?

We were actually listing TV series but since you mentioned it: your first three choices are right on; Forbidden Planet and The Earth stood Still are two of my all time favorites but "Spaceballs"? Puhleeze! and Saturn 3?
IMHO the worst sci-fi movie ever made...and I think the title of number 10 on your list is actually "My Stepmother is an alien" although you could be talking about an entirely differn\ent movie that I have never heard of.
BTW why didn't Close Encounters of the Third Kind or Star Wars make your list?

Here are good shows:

Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Star Trek Voyager
The X files

Here are very, very, very bad and terrible shows:

Farscape
Star Trek DS9
Star Trek Enterprise (Excluding the theme song)
Star Trek TNG
All the other Star Treks except for Star Trek Voyager
Andromeda
Power Rangers
BattleStar Gallactica
Every Star Wars!!! ( If you think about it theyre all about politics!)

Now Bring on the Flamers!!!!

If that's what you want! Your wish is my command! LOL! Voyager? Seriously? That was the suckiest of all the Treks, IMO. Neelix alone made the show unwatchable ... never mind Capt Myway-or-the-highway and her truck stop waitress voice. Further, they used the old "ThuderCats/G-Force/Power Rangers/Variations Thereof" formula for their main characters:

- One good guy altruistic leader type.
- One super kid who has a lot to learn.
- One good boy/bad boy/pretty boy.
- One odd-man out that's heavy on the strong-n-silent angle, who typically hangs with and/or mentors the super kid.
- One buxom super chic with a body to die for.
- One goofball alien/creature/robot pet for comic relief that's more pathetic than comedic.
- One Great Guide/Spirit/Overseer to move them all to greatness and/or bring them all together in battle.
- One super computer that informs, annoys and gets them out of scraps, but lets 'em do 95% of the dirty work.

Voyager was the best Star Trek ever!!!! Hell of a lot better storylines tha the rest! Captain Picard, Archer and the DS9 guy couldn't hold a candle to Janeway!!! Voyager was the best ever!! Accept it!

Who'd want to hold a candle next to her!? Yuck! Keep her in the dark!

Not a Sci-Fi action, but rather comedy, but IMO one of the best ones out there. Red Dwarf.

UFO is great, now on DVD. Renting the series from Netflix. Great place to get series stuff.

Love Stargate SG-1. Not so fond of Atlantis. Just seems to be missing the "spark."

Anyone like the very short-lived "Firefly"? I wasn't a fan of it (tried to like it, loved Buffy and Angel). I hear there is the movie Firefly coming out soon.

And of course, the X-Files. Not futuristic, but interesting sci-fi stuff.

Oh, and I forgot Kolchak, the Nightstalker....

Great show and BTW they are bringing out a new version of the series this year. Unfortunatey, w/o Darrin McGavin, although he's way too old now anyway.

Tales from the Darkside
Pokemon (gotta love pikachu)
UFO
and of course the best treatment of this work in any medium:

Starship Toopers (animated series)
live forever apes!

1. Night Stalker (figgers gazrock would say it first)
Daryn McGavin's voice-overs MADE the show. Creep-o-rific.

2. U.F.O. (THAT was cool series; and now I know who on this board is as old as I am!!!!)

3. "Land of the Lost."
All Frau Dr. has to do to freak me out is make a sleestack hissing noise behind me in a darkened house . . . sure it was a cheesy kid-show. But then, I was a cheesy kid, back in the 70's.

4. X Files.

5. Star Trek
The O.G. of futurism on TV. And the space opera. No one would remember it if it wasn't the cardboard cutouts that Roddenberry lifted from Wagner's works.

6. Outer Limits
Some of them, even the newer ones, are incredible. There are four or five episodes done around 2000 that still stick in my head. On the other hand, the Original twilight zone had some LAME productions, even in their first couple of seasons. I mean, painful to watch.

7. Dark Shadows
Intense supernatural soap opera. but there's something about a chick in a polyester pantsuit, as long as her hair is shellacked up in a bouffant, and she's got fangs . . .

8. Lost in Space.
Cornball. About like "Space 1999" or the OS Star Trek.

The X Files

Absolutely the best.

Of course, I love Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Farscape, Earth: Final Confict, Seaquest!! (who remembers that one?) and all the other awsome sci-fi shows, but the X Files is just ....

Oh yeah, I also liked that other Chris Carter series, Millenium. Anyone remember that?
It was so good and so dark, very very dark show. Shame it only lasted for 3 seasons.

The all time best sci fi tv show is and always will be doctor who
You got the TARDIS , daleks,cybermen eveything you could want
and they've started a new series absolutely fantastic
star trek the next generation is also good i like Data
and Hitchikers guide to the galaxy

Not forgetting Blake 7.

There's only one answer for the number 1 show. Anyone who's watched good Doctor Who knows that no other show can touch the imaginative storytelling or the sheer scope! Anyway, here's my list:

1. Doctor Who
2. Babylon 5
3. Firefly
4. The X-Files
5. Star Trek: TOS
6. Star Trek: DS9
7. Quantum Leap
8. Battlestar Gallactica
9. Max Headroom
10. Dark Angel

Ok, so Dark Angel actually sucks, but Jessica Alba's Emmy nominated rear end is featured prominently in every episode. That alone gets it ranked higher than Earth2, Space Above and Beyond, or any Sci-Fi channel Starscape show.
