The Best Classic Science Fiction Shows

[lildreamer]

I just thought of another great Sci Fi series. Max Headroom. I wish the scifi channel would pick this one up and broadcast it.

Max Headroom. The '80s. As I recall Max started out as a commercial for something then had his own short-lived series. Groundbreaking visual effects for its time. Help me out: The actor who played Max later played the lead in a syndicated occult show that was hosted by Dan Ackroyd. I don't recall the name but the few episodes I saw were quite good.

actor was Matt Frewer
show was PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (1997-1999)

It is a great gap in the listing. Star Trek, BSG did not do much for me.

But the classic Dr - The Invasion, Inferno, The deadly assassin, Genesis of the Daleks, the Key of Time, City of Death, to h=name but a few were truly memorable."

yes you did I stand corrected and you mentioned Blake 7 - tip of the hat to you sir....

In case you haven't noticed I am really enjoying this thread! I could never get into Dr. Who. Maybe I didn't watch enough of them. How about Fireball XL-5?
