Pseudobulbar Paraphroneogenesis: Uncontrollable Laughing at the Insanity of Existence.

And the #1 Top Science Fiction Television Show of All Time
(according to a substantial 3000-member U.K RadioTimes Magazine poll - Ed)
..is: Red Dwarf.
to which upon seeing the poll results, Rimmer replied,
(translation: "oh bloody hell, now we're going to be hated by every fan of every other genre series" - Ed)
this was of course followed by an emergency session meeting with the head of Red Dwarf Public Relations (Mr. Flibble, featured left -Ed)
and that meeting was followed by a lot of serious running away'ing.
OR
was Doctor Who voted the #1 SF show of all time by popular non-votes?
Red Dwarf is ostensibly actually #2 - The 3000 UK Radio Times Magazine Pollees were barred from voting for Doctor Who because it was considered "too obvious" as the #1 Scifi of all time.
Thereby proving what I've long held to be true, that to be British is to be fundamentally insane.
Interesting reasoning. By default they've actually proclaimed Doctor Who the #1 SF -without- actually including it in the poll.
(in other news creationists rejoice at the apparent demise of The Scientific Method -Ed)

moi, I'm surprised that Life on Mars made it so high up the list, it's one of my fave shows, but I never hear anyone 'ere talking about it.
Otherwise, I think it's an interesting list, and probably quite reflective of a substantial portion of the U.K genre audience's taste, but being part British and part American I'd personally place another series as the #1 Single Greatest Top SciFi Show of All Time.
(with the appropriate exclamation mark abuse - Ed)
As I would stipulate this show to be the over-all single greatest genre television show ever produced in terms of
1. creativity/unique'osity.
2. esoteric/etherealism
3. intellectual stimulation/thought provocation.
and of course,
4. ass kicking lunatic midget-involving fun.
my pick for the #1 SFTV slash genre series of all time is also one I happen to believe to be the single most significant and influential (television show) of all time too: The Prisoner.
