I really want to know why MST3K comes up on these lists so often. I sat down to watch it and it was just some shitty old movie being watched by 2 semi-funny average joes. Like, Gogglebox is better, and that’s not even good. What am I missing??
It was a show a bunch of us watched late at night for years. Cable didn’t have a ton of great options in the 90s. But mostly I love it because it’s made by huge nerds doing nerdy crap with props and generally having fun. It’s just a comfort show for me I reckon.
Ooh yeah all solid. Firefly obviously, Babylon 5 was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. And I did mention Stargate, but I’m only now kinda watching SG-1.
In no particular order
Battlestar Galactica
Farscape
MST3K
Travellers
Most Star Trek and Stargate
Dr Who
Electric Sheep
Twin Peaks
X-Files
I’ll probably add to this as they occur to me

Agree. Also

Farscape has been in my peripheral vision forever, does it hold up?
Farscape is excellent, but it’s very trippy and the heavy use of Muppets may be offputting to some. And it’s far from harder scifi like the Expanse.
Just watch it. It’s great
Oh yeah, it’s great. I’ve been watching it lately.
I second Battlestar Galactica. I keep meaning to rewatch it. All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again.
