I know some people will disagree, but I believe some of the most overrated science fiction tv shows would include Space 1999, Lost in Space, Captain Video, Quark, Sliders, the old Batman, Quantum Leap, The Time Tunnel, My Favorite Martian, the old Superman, Spiderman 1970's series, V, The Time Trap, Dr. Who, The Tomorrow People, The 4400, Nowhere Man, Manimal, Third Rock from the Sun, ALF, Eerie IN, and others

Voyager was good for the short attention span. No matter what universe destroying calamity they encountered during the first 7/8ths of the show a Deus ex machina would show up to save the day in the last 5 minutes and all would be well again.

Not to mention that it had some of the worst characters and worst actors in Star Trek history. Even....Shatner.....was....better....

I didn't think Voyager was that bad...

Voyager sucked and Enterprise had such potential and just dropped the ball...and this is coming from a huge Trek fan.

I really feel Bakula was a good choice, but they missed a brilliant opportunity to explore awesome new worlds, but instead they made it into a political universe like TNG did...at least, that's how I saw it.

Now, Frank, why you wanna go starting something? No one said anything about Stargate or the Star Treks, yet here you go dumping on them. That's not right, man.

And I say this because I watch(ed) all of them...

My vote would be for the Stargate shows (zzzzzz). I never could get into them.

But, maybe, we should consider Star Trek Voyager or Star Trek Enterprise. Both had some promise at the start but ended up sucking something awful very quickly.

Brian I agree...

RT, must be hard getting good TV shows over there, but I'll bet you probably have better things to do over there anyways.

Firefly?! As an OVERATED Series?! Okay, yes people thought it was really good - and I agree with that. I loved it. But to put it on a "most overated list" seems to be missing one VITAL piece of information... they had their Budget cut and were shut down! They couldn't have been all that over rated if their series was cancelled!!!

That is such a no-brainer--Heroes is far and away the most overrated show on television period, not just sci-fi.

I agree with you all, but not on Firefly. The show was so underrated it got canceled, so I don't see how it was OVERRATED.

Enough people I know have gone back and watched the show on DVD and loved it...

Anyways, agree with you on Heroes Jason.

There are people out there who just canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t handle shows that donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t give you answers right away. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s almost part of the American society in which we live that we want what we WANT and we WANT IT NOW!

I hate those people.

Lost and BSG are definitely two of the best shows out there right now, period. BSG is hardly overrated since it's actually underrated. Doctor Who sucks...trust me. Firefly was okay, but I can see how some might say overrated by many. Sarah Connor hasn't been around long enough to be overrated.

I'd have to give it to Heroes. People acted like it was the best thing that ever happened to TV. Even the first season a discerning person could see they were going to have story issues.

I'm not surprised about LOST. People are not able to sustain mental focus for such a long period of time (3.5 seasons now with 2 to 2.5 more seasons to go). I have thought it was a huge risk on the part of the creators to put a show like LOST out there because it does require long-term dedication and some mental faculty.

Oh well - I guess if you are fed a steady diet of bumper sticker slogans then anything that lasts longer than 5 seconds is going to be a stretch.

Very surprising to me. 4 of those shows I watch regularly. I haven't seen any Doctor Who, and the only one I agree that's overrated is Firefly--just couldn't get into it.

Lost and BSG, however, is kind of a slap in the face! Those are two of the most smartest shows on television right now. I'm surprised because sci-fi fans usually appreciate that.
