    You should read more books. If you love Science Fiction....then the TV shows aren't half as good as most books that are out.

    But yeah, not too many science fiction quality. Although I have to say that I liked Heroes...it was mainly the first two seasons that were good. After that it all went downhill.

    Most other series come across as too cheap for me though.

    As far a si-fi books I read a lot of them. I'm now into the Warhammer 40k Horus Heresy series. I'm on book 15 Prospero Burns. Great series of books base on the history of the table top strategy game that I use to play as younger man.

    Default scifi

    I love tales from the darkside, and twilightzone but they only air them once in a while. I wish i was around when the old scifi showes were still airing alot.

    No you don't because that would mean you'd be an old coot like the rest of us.

    Another factor is that modern shows are made differently than the old. Really old stuff was done live and even when they started using film and tape they rehearsed shows before actually doing them. These days they just shoot and redo scenes which is much cheaper and the quality often shows.

    Default No one's mentioned Battlestar Galactica and DEs

    One of the thing that first interested me in vintage shaving methods was the DE shaving depicted in Battlestar Galactica. (It was DEs the Admiral used, right?) He cut himself at least twice, wincing visibly. I thought, "Wonder if I could shave that way." I found SRP eventually and registered. Finally, I decided to go with the Feather--ouch! Very painful. Now I'm a straight shaver and loving that.

    Unfortunately I no longer have TV.Everything I watch is Hulu or You tube.Firefly was a favorite though and I keep praying that God and Joss Whedon will somehow bring it back heh.
