Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn't count as lesser-known.

If you count it as sci-fi, the HBO adaptation of "His Dark Materials" seems to have gotten basically zero attention in the US but was really quite excellent.

Also the original "The Prisoner." (the remake with Ian McKellen was meh)

It is definitely much better than the movie. I still haven't finished it, but it's a fun break from other interests from time-to-time.

The hbo/bbc his dark materials was brilliant, so glad they finished all the book material. I think it was quite well received here in the uk

Is His Dark Materials really science fiction?
