Top 10 WORST Sci-Fi Shows EVER! w/Videos
http://forevergeek.com/sci-fi/top_10....php?fromrss=1

I haven't seen any of the shows listed so I can't say whether or not I agree w/ their picks.

I must have by complete chance caught an episode of Viper once. Thought it was ok, in the same sense you'll find your average fast-food burger ok.
Otherwise, I haven't seen any of the other shows of this list, even if I have heard about a few of them.

Haha I'm showing my age, I've seen quite a few of those!

I'm not really sure it's fair to call them 'the worst scifi ever' since most of them were horribly crippled by a) 80's or early 90's special effects b) incredibly low budgets and the same old problem we have today is that corporate executives and 'design by committe' group's interfere in the concept

Some of them only look horrible NOW - when I was a kid, Manimal and Automan were WOOOOWWWWW

I've seen hmm, 9, 7, 6, 5, and 4. mostly yes, they were awful

[RaconteurX]

Quark was much better than they imply. The series was created by Buck Henry, and was smart as well as funny. It poked fun at just about every popular SF series and film of its day, and even parodied one of star Richard Benjamin's own important film roles (Goodbye, Columbus). Henry also wrote the screenplay for Catch-22, in which both he and Benjamin have roles, and The Graduate.

Yeah, that's a pretty good list o' crap. And that's just the American stuff...there's a whole list of dookie from the same period out of Britain I remember.

[Tricky]

What does it say about me if I've seen all these shows?

I agree with Tobian; I mean "Far Out Space Nuts" was a Saturday Morning Kids Show from the 70's for Gilligan's sake! That would be like comparing "Blues Clues" to "The Sopranos"!

There are some shows that should have made the list: Viper was bad, but there was a show where they magicaly turned a kids toy (that truck that turned into a dinosaur from those tractor pulls) into a street machine to fight crime.

Black Scorpion is nowhere on that list. Neither is Space Police (although they did make a cool cyborg for one ep.), or that show about the medical station in space.

Spin/knock offs are the worst. The mini-series "Something is out there" was a rip off of "The Hidden", but the show became the usual "there are no aliens" show, even though the female lead WAS AN ALIEN!

Don't forget the Robocop series.

[C5]

That's not fair, Tricky, I have seen a few episodes of the Robocop series and found them fun, though I'd advise them to a teenaged audience. Of course, it's better to wipe from your mind everything you know of the movie when watching it, but that's usually the case with movie spin-offs.

have not seen --
10 - M.A.N.T.I.S., 7 - Team Knight Rider, 5 - Manimal, 4 - Automan, 3- Far Out Space Nuts, 2- Quark, 1 - Nightman

9 - Cleopatra 2525 -- campy and fun, so not sure why this is here.

8 - VIPER -- While this is a "day after tomorrow", I never really though of this as a SciFi when I watched it. Scratch that. It seem like there were two shows called Viper. I saw the non-SciFi one more and only saw one or 2 episodes, seem OK.

6 - Mutant X -- I though this was atleast half way dececent.

[Tricky]

The story I had heard about Mutant X was that it was originally going to be based on the comic of the same name. This would have been a real stretch, as Mutant X (the comic) was about Havok (Cyclop's brother) finding himself in an alternate reality were alot of X-Backstory went differently (Storm was Queen of the vampires, Beast was a dumb brute, Cyclop's wife Madalyn was the Goblin Queen, and Angel was a demonic former willing servant of Apocalypse).

I remember thinking about how that was a surefire way to destroy the entire X-movie francise, as you would be introducing people to characters that would be in a future movie, but in ways that might confuse them.

[Street]

I've seen almost everything on the list and actually liked most of it as much as I like most tv; that is i found them good for a few laughs and some mindless entertainment with 2 exceptions- I actually liked M.A.N.T.I.S. and thought Andrew Robinson was great as the main villain of the series, and I totally agree with Nightman (although I liked the pilot, every other episode I saw SUCKED).

[redwood973]

Except for Mutant X never heard of any of them.
