Click the links for explanations. And, er, Firefly fans? Ignore their episode number ignorance.

Anyway, this is a British magazine, so... discuss, should you wish to. Do you agree or disagree?

well these are the ones i watched. i thought the treks would rate higher. i can't believe the frelling simpsons is #1!!!!

Eh. I'm just glad Firefly and Babylon 5 made the list. I think I tend to have a bias for genre television, as, that is where my fandom lies. I'm not rabid over South Park, though, it is a guilty pleasure of mine. As for best, well, that is such a nebulous definition...

Best sci-fi versus best comedy versus best drama? Best in terms of which show I would likely watch, over all others? That would depend on my mood.

Still, not a bad mix.
