Well I realized I actually forgot to include Kolchak: The Night Stalker which definitely had several sci-fi heavy shows within its series although most were more in the horror/thriller vein. Also I've seen Twin Peaks listed by some sources as sci-fi (not sure I fully agree with that one). Also perhaps I should have included Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman some might argue. There's also Superboy, ALF, The Lone Gunmen , the Star Wars and Starship Troopers cartoon shows and so much more.

Some favorite sci-fi shows...

.the first (and ONLY,for me at least) STAR TREK!!!
.SPACE 1999-Why did it seem like Martin Laundau and Barbra Bain were always whispering on that show? I recall Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing even being guest stars! I even clipped the TV Guide articale that had photos of them.
.LOST in SPACE-"CRUSH_KILL_DESTROY." I loved all the goofy monsters and aliens. Great fun! I need to find a box set...
.the OUTER LIMITS!!!! (first series,of course)
.the TWILIGHT ZONE - I would consider this sci-fi.
.LAND of the GIANTS-I actually liked this alot.
.X FILES !!!
.MAN from U.N.C.L.E.-not really sci-fi-but had a lot of sci fi elements.
.UFO-They used to play this on Sunday afternoons on Channel 41....
