How about:

Doctor Who

or

Babylon 5 (Vorlons & Shadows)?

Just thought I would add that the new season of The Walking Dead starts next Sunday, and that AMC would be showing a marathon covering the shows since its beginning starting this next Sat night...

There was a short lived series “The Visitor” in 1197 that might fit this bill.

Good point. The Vorlons manipulated humans to see them as angels, and engineered the telepaths.

Last Monday's Warehouse 13 was the season finale. Alphas is still going. Usually WH13 and Alphas begin and end together, but not this year. Don't know why.

Since you mention Doctor Who, I'll take this moment to gripe about BBC America NOT showing the classic series of DR. Who while the new show is on hold. ‘Come on, BBCA! Repeats of Star Trek: The Next Generation? I would much rather watch Dr. Who Classics! (which, btw, used the "ancient astronaut" plot device on numrous serials, such as City of Death, The Pyramids of Mars, Stones of Blood, The Daemons, just to mention a few of the classic serials that had ancient astronaut plots)...

There are all sorts of problems with old Doctor Who (including that some have actually been lost), but I agree. Were I to run a science-fiction themed network, my M-F mornings would have 2-hour blocks of Doctor Who, each day featuring a different doctor. When that Doctor is up, move to another.

Warehouse 13 is doing one of those annoying split seasons, 2 blocks of 10. The second half is in April. Alphas is just on a regular 13 ep season.

Okay, thank you for the info. I don't know why they keep splitting seasons either. The Closer always did that, and now everyone seems to be doing it.
