Never cared for ST:TNG but I did watch the entire series — once.

[Buck Rogers]...so dont know if I would still like it today.
Depends on the series year. The last season, it was being shut down, and it showed.
One of the "other" (LPUHF seeking to glom on to local cable systems.) channels ran it about decade ago. Buster Crabbe had a cameo. Jamie Lee Curtis was in an epi or two. Some others paying their dues.

Thunderbirds??
You're riffing on the one show I have extremely fond childhood memories of? Not that I could remember any of the epis...
I have a hard time calling extended movies or book adaptions a "tv show". AKA "V", "HHGTG", etc.
I don't think "Star Trek" held up very well, IMHO. I say this as someone that grew up with the first run. Watching re-runs in the '90s, and 2000s, I was extremely disappointed at the quality of the sets.
No "UFO"?

1st season when Wilma was a blonde was the best

SyFy ran a selective mini-marathon a while back. I can’t believe I liked it as a kid.

Glen Larson had a problem with keeping his SF shows interesting. For both Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers, he made substantial changes for the second seasons which made mildly entertaining shows completely unwatchable.

Galactica sucked in both iterations. Flip it with Red Dwarf or you’re a smeghead.

True Story, Space 1999 was origianlly meant to be the second season of U.F.O.
In 1972, Sir Lew Grade, head of ITC Entertainment, proposed financing a second series of the Century 21 production UFO to show-runners Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Grade had one stipulation: the new series would be set primarily on the Moon within the environs of an expanded SHADO Moonbase; the ratings indicated the Moon-centric episodes had proved more popular with the viewers. The Andersons and their team would quickly revamp the production, flashing ahead nearly twenty years for UFO: 1999 with Commander Ed Straker and the forces of SHADO fighting their alien foes from a large new Moonbase facility.
However, toward the end of its run, UFO experienced a drop in ratings in both America and the UK; nervous ITC executives in both countries began to question the financial viability of the new series, and support for the project collapsed. In the meantime, Production Designer Keith Wilson and the art department had made considerable progress in envisioning the look and design of the new series. Their work was then shelved for the foreseeable future.[6]

The thing about those slide shows is not only that they’re annoying, but the idiots who put them together do a full page reload. They’re wasting server resources and viewers time. I bail when I see them.

Personal faves are Baker, Pertwee, McCoy (a lot of bad episodes but I found him personally enjoyable as opposed to Davidson who I disliked but who probably had the best run of stories), and Tennant.

The Invaders. Quinn Martins only SCI-FI series. Man, I LOVED that show. I wish it was available on Hulu.
To: EveningStar
The British series UFO should be number !. It was a very stylish metaphor for the Cold War - the aliens being the commies. The models and special effects were hokey -literally the same crew who did The Thunderbirds- the but acting was great and the writing was for adults. The Prisoner was another great show.

Yes, I think it was why Q-M did only ONE SCI-FI series. LOL
Ralph Fiennes was really good in “Doppelganger” though.

Slideshows are bad, but so are pages like the one linked.
Scroll down and the page jumps. Oh, it is down 3 screens. Move the scrollbar and it jumps. Oh, now it is up 4 screens.
Making webpages ‘mobile friendly’ has ruined many websites.

Red Dwarf is among the shows that recieve an annual marathon at my house.
Incidentally, have you ever seen “Red Dwarf: Back to Earth” (2009). It left me wishing that Doug Naylor still had the ability to write.

Star Trek deserves to be #1. No other show on this list inspired so many kids to become doctors or engineers, who actually came up with some of the tech in the show.
