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.

A couple of others I haven't seen here that I loved:

  • Almost Human - Cut short, but had so much potential. :'(
  • Foundation - Adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. So far it's incredible, and the way they're stretching the story it could be 6-7 seasons.
  • The 100 - hear me out - It's teen drama at first, in a sci-fi setting. This one reminds me of Orson Scott Card; focusing on how people behave in a futuristic sci-fi setting, not necessarily heavy on the setting. It was goofy, dramatic, sometimes cringe, and has huge plot holes - but damnit it was entertaining and jumps the shark soo many times.
  • 4400 - Such an incredible premise for a show.

Some comic/hero shows that could technically count as Sci-Fi:
