Here are links to some interesting TV shows.They are
ranked in what I think are their order of significance:
| Babylon 5 | A wonderful series which is not being shown daily on TNT as it
shouldbe! In my opinion, this is the best series of the
1990s!
Check out these webpages: |
| Crusade | A wonderful series which will be killed off -er- canceled far too soon! So much for TNT's promise to support this show... |
| Earth: Final Conflict | An esoteric series which makes one think. The first year was the best and the character mix better than the second. Hope- fully, they will recoverthe series momentum in the third year. There was something about this seriesthat made it seem like a private matter, a show for a small elite. |
| Star: Trek Voyager | An interesting series which finally hit it's stride after the first couple of years. I'm curious to see what will happen... |
| Star Trek: Deep Space 9 | The last couple of years were very well done; I suppose it is hard to beat a well done war mixed with well done breaks in battle. (Humans who weren't so nice, what a concept for ST!) |
| Highlander | A well done series whose episodes I almost never was able to see first
run in Kansas. Since we didn't get a station with first run shows, we had
to wait for the USA Network to show all the reruns and catch up with that
year's first runs. Fortunately, the Sci-Fi network is showing the rerunsof
the last season and we can all see what we missed...
26 September 1999: It looks like "Highlander" has been taken off the SciFi channel before the last year's episodes ended. The last show I saw, Richy was still alive... |
| Pretender | This show started out with Jarrod running for his life and saving other folks. Miss Parker was a chain smoking, killing, screwing around bitch. But,as the series progressed, Miss Parker was shown as having "dark secrets", she stopped screwing around and appeared to give up the cancer sticks.The last episode in spring 1999 was series contaminated by severe storm warnings and I missed taping the last half hour. It would be nice iff'n the Wichita station were to re-show this last episode. (They did and it was worth the wait... |
| FarScape | A rather strange and interesting show; it is an acquired taste.
26 September 1999: By now, this IS one of my favourite shows. |
| ForeverKnight | This is a strange but very attractive show which should have never gone off the air. It was about relationships and people living with strange circumstances. The last episode was very touching and memorable. |
| Le Femme Nikitta | Excellent acting and plots, kind of a slice of life in hell. I wonderwhat will happen in the 1999 - 2000 season. Worth watching! |
| X-Files (cancer man page, anyway...) | What can I say? (I wonder how long it'll be before Mulder and Sculley realize that they're really a married couple which doesn't live togetheror have "intimate relations". Such things would surely destroy the series so they should wait until the final episode before hitting the sack... |
| G vs E | A funny version of the battle between Heaven and Hell. This is done for laughs and is of uneven quality; the best jokes may have been in the first and second episode. It is a nice break from the very serious "Millennium"and "Brimstone". |
| Stargate:SG1
Nice pages... Episodes |
A nicely done and under advertised show based on the movie. There seem to be a heck of a lot of reruns; is this series still in production? The show is much better than most people know and deserves much better support! |
| Millennium | A very well done good versus evil show. The main problem I have with
it is that I don't know where the producers are going with the series. I
don't know what the Millennium Group is supposed to be!
At first, the Millennium Group was a group preparing to meet the end of the world. Then, they were two groups: one pre- paring for the Biblical Armageddon and the other waiting for a "split in space" to come along and destroy the world. (How did they know?) |
| Hercules | A very funny play on history. The series has a lot of humour and is
clearly taking about today's society. A lot of the humour is based on
modern ideas being invented in the past; there is a great deal of
similarity to"Briscoe County" in this aspect.
It appears that Kevin Scorbo will be going to a Gene Rod- denbury series this fall (of 1999). I don't know if this will be an addition to "Earth:Final Conflict" or something else. |
| Zena
Ahumorous takeoff... |
A very serious show with very series aspects. (Yeah, there is that sexual teasing; I doubt that the Greek women looks for sexy although the female gods probably would have if they had existed.) Let's face it, the Zena/Gabby relationship fuels the show!) Otherwise, much of what I said about "Hercules" is also applicable to "Zena". |
| Sliders | This show is based on a very interesting premise: that there are
alternate universes. (Wheeler's many world's hypotheses.) The idea of
going from different universe to different universe is very appealing and
has great potential. Unfortunately, the producers screwed it up but
violating the basic, governing, premise: everything in the alternative
universes must be physically possible in
our universe. (That is, events change from universe to universe but the
laws of physics stay the same.) Based on changes in history, many
different social situations are possible; you just can't have Werewolf's
or the Vampire Colonel.
In the later series, they changed the characters and I'd like to know why. They had a good idea and pissed it away by insisting on going with the science fiction when the historical would have served much better! |
If you've noticed a certain trend in my selections,
you're right. I just happen to like Science Fiction or Fantasy. (No, Idon't
think much of sitcoms - I keep wondering when they
started leaving the "h" out.)
