I remember The Highwayman! Sam "Flash Gordon" Jones as some sort of crime-fighting Fed with a truck that had a helicopter cab & could turn invisible :D

Dark Skies is awesome. I had a re-watch of that a while ago. Shame it ended like it did.

My favourite at the moment is FRINGE. I'd love to see someone remake UFO though.

Yeah, there was one series and it was shown, when I saw it, dead late at night on Ch4in the late 80's early 90's.

There loads I keep remembering.

The Fantastic Journey (or Voyage) starring Roddy MacDowell

Otherworld (I think) very similar to the Fantastic Journey, used to be on a Sat Morning, about a family on another world searching for their daughter having to follow oblisks, each day find themselves in a different town.

Automan computer generated superhero, with a computer generated lamborghini, well with blue neon strip lights.

Logans Run the TV series of the film, It was rerun not so long ago on one of the channels.

Battlestar Galactica 1980 Adama has a beard, did Boomer replace Tigh?, two wooden, as wooden could be, leads in Troy and Dillon and the Milky Bar kid as some super brain

Just remembered a wee series from the 90s called The Last Train. It was great, although not seen it in a while.

Why is the ORIGINAL Stargate missing?That was the best one.

---------- Post added at 14:26 ---------- Previous post was at 14:19 ----------

However the best series of all has to be Babylon 5.It had everything a SF series requires.
Science,interesting humans and aliens,a sweeping backstory,quests,mystery,war,treachery,telepaths(a lways need those),a love story and some truly beautiful ships and cities and some very stylish clothing.The only SF series that had the latter was SG9 with the Furengi clothing.

DS9?

A bit of trivia about that.

Apparently the fact that the set and costume design for DS9 was so colourful was a reaction to the perception that the TNG set design was quite muted, and almost monochrome.

Well the real trouble with ST in general was the boring situation of so many spandex Federation uniforms.Yes they were colourful but they were truly terrible as far as style went.The costumes always looked so cheap.
