SF and Fantasy have been on television for as long as there's been television, I think, or very close. It almost goes without saying that Sturgeon's Law applies: ninety percent of everything is crap. There are eighty shows in the table below and yes, if you add it all up, ninety percent of the total is probably crap, which doesn't necessarily make it bad television, even if it should. The few shows that were consistently good in the main (e.g. Star Trek, the original series) are balanced out by the ones that sucked largely in almost every possible way (e.g. Team Knight Rider, Cleopatra 2525, Lexx). Eventually, there will be a review of sorts for each of them. Every review will probably offend someone, possibly many someones. Too bad.
For the time being, I'm going to confine the list to shows I've actually seen, even if only a couple of episodes. Perhaps that will change some day. Eventually, I may add production credits or episode guides for some of these, but for now I'm just going to review or rant.
