Empire Magazine has revealed its list of the "50 Greatest TV Shows" ever. Below is the list and here be the rules.

1. Bold the shows you've watched every episode of
2. Italic the shows you've seen at least one episode of
3. Post your answers

( Behind the cut )

My telly watching is very specific and I catch up with a lot on DVD since some of the SF series are only available on Sky TV in the UK which I do not have and probably will not get. My top ten so far would be:

1) Firefly
2) Doctor Who (New)
3) Buffy
4) Farscape
5) Robin of Sherwood (surprisingly still far up the list after 25 years)
6) Torchwood (this is much higher up on the list currently but when the dust settles i think this is where it will end up)
7) Lost
8) Battlestar Galactica (New)
9)Sharp's Rifles
10) Blakes 7
11) Babylon 5
12) Dark Angel
13) Star Trek TNG
14) Heroes - season one (Season two is not avail to me yet)
15) Survivors (excellent for its day)

Oops it had to be a top fifteen because there were just some I couldn't miss out of the list - and I'm not absolutely sure about the order. I still haven't mentioned: Alias Smith and Jones (fondly remembered);  Inheritance (There's trouble at t' mill, Mester Oldroyd'); Doomwatch (first season only); Doctor Who (Tom Baker Years); A for Andromeda (the original one - which I've never been able to get out of my head, though if I saw it again I would probably be hugely disappointed); Star Trek DS9; Stargate (a potboiler but what the hell); Smallville (good in parts); Primeval (growing on me); Supernatural (first season started out well, missed the second, third may have jumped the shark); and the rest of Doctor Who - old - which still has some amazing high points (as well as low points). Thumbs down for Colin Baker. Have been watching the new Bionic Woman and Sarah Connor Chronicles, but so far have failed to really care much about either. And what about Life on Mars, Poldark and The Onedin Line? And then there's 'The one I'm sure to have forgotten about'.
