I remember watching original Star Trek episodes and Dr Who (Tom Baker years) late at night on PBS...  Also, we watched some Space 1999...  Then there was always the original BattleStar Galactic series and Buck Rodgers...  Not so much sci-fi, but I remember watching The Greatest American Hero too...

Those are the ones that spring to mind at least...

The X-Files-  :noid(might be my favorite scifi series ever)

Star Trek- (original and Next Generation)

Dr. Who- (w/Tom Baker, and I vaguely remember a fat Dr. As a kid I had nightmares from the time tunnel in the opening credits, freaky!)

Red Dwarf-  :rofl(the episode were Rimmer goes nuts w/ Mr Fribbles the stuffed penguin, is one of the funniest things I've ever seen)

Highlander- (movie and series, theme music by Queen  :rock)

Airplane 2-  :rofl(William Shatner's funniest role ever, as the Moon base commander)

Shatner- "All right, meet me on the tower."
lackey- "We have no tower.  Just a bridge sir."
Shatner- "No tower?  WHY THE HELL AREN'T I NOTIFIED ABOUT THESE THINGS!"  :furious


Shatner is freaking hilarious.

Inframan
Ultraman

There is a cartoon that I can't remember the name to of a Space Battle Ship that was really cool, one of the first Anime cartoons

Of course the Transformers cartoon

CAP,

If i remember correctly, didnt Ultraman have a little blinking light on his chest, that when it went out he was out of power or something like that? It seemed to happen every episode IIRC.

yea, it did. it would always start flashing during a fight....and he'd have to hurry up and finish off the monster,,,,,,then fly to the sun to recharge.
 i think there was one episode where he didn't make it in time....

Space 1999
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
UFO
Battlestar Galactica
Battle of the Planets
Dr Who


love Space 1999, lets say alot of it hasn't exactly aged well (not as badly as UFO) but I still have a late '70s Dinky die cast Eagle on the book shelf (next to an original series Colonial Viper)

I was just looking for that one.  Around here, it came on right after ultraman.  My brothers and I would have arguments about who would win a fight, the Robot or Ultraman.

Oddly, I think we decided Godzilla would trash them both.

 :aok
I think you're right, Godzilla would of put a whoopin' on them.  Ultra-Man always ran out of health/energy too soon, and the robot, well he was just too slow.

Another show that I vaguely remember was Project Bluebook.  When I think about it, it was kind of an early X-Files kind of show.

  I would also say the Star Treks, Space1999, the 50s black and whites that I loved. I did like that StarBlazers. I remember seeing the first episode where the Gamalons destroyed the earth defense fleet. Loved it.

Ultraman? Wheres that ouble face palm image when you need it?  :D

Time Tunnel (bad history but fun) and Lost in Space and Land of the Giants were tons better than Ultraman.

Even Wild Wild West was better SciFi than Ultraman!

I'm 50 years old and genuinely never heard of Ultraman until just now. That might have something to do with living on an obscure island off the coast of Europe which had only one TV station when I was growing up. However I did hear of 'The Tommorrow People' which came from the neighbouring not so obscure island. Nevertheless it seemed a tad camp even to my untutored teenage eye back then.

But even the single conservative TV station in Ireland, had Star Trek and I remember distinctly enjoying it. In fact, one summer evening. I remember being in the neighbours garage while he explained just how a car engine worked. He was a fireman and because his hours were less than onerous, he had a car repair business on the side. My Mother, as ever the ambitious Irish Mother had ensured that I was to receive an education in car maintenance so I found myself in his garage learning the basics. Meanwhile through the open back door of my house that balmy summer evening in the early seventies. I heard the theme tune of Star Trek. Much as I enjoyed learning about cars. I despaired that I was missing an episode of Star Trek. Never again would I be able to enjoy that programme. Little did I know! 
I'm sure there are many of you out there who remember those days. The space race was on and the Americans, (our heroes) were going to win it. In 2010, we would routinely travel to the moon and back and Mars too probably. I wanted to be a pilot and my only worry was that they would invent something to replace flying by the time I grew up.
No need to worry as it turned out. Ah those were the days.

You gotta say it right:   A Quinn Martin Production   :D


"Architect David Vincent looking for a shortcut which he never found"
Amazing the stupid crap you remember

More geriatric TV Sci-Fi:

Space 1999 (not bad at all)
The Outer Limits (routinely scared the crap out of this 7 yr old   :aok)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (so-so, my SeaView always insisted on floating upside down in the tub  :()
Time Tunnel (weak)
Land of the Giants (lame)
Lost in Space (Laughably bad)

As far as movies go:
Forbidden Planet
The Day The Earth Stood Still  (1951, not the pathetic "Green" remake)

It don't get any better than these two.

"Time tunnel" and the original "star trek" are my childhood favorites, but the best sci-fi series of them all award goes to "Firefly". The idiots at Fox that canceled it after one season should be put against the wall and shot. Sci-fi western, can it get any better than that?

'My Favorite Martian'

A Martian named Exodus comes to Earth to live with Timothy O'Hara.
Exodus, a wisecracking alien, moves in with O'Hara under the guise of being his uncle Martin O'Hara.
"My Favorite Martian" lasted from 1963-1966.
