7. Babylon 5
(1993-1998) 5 seasons
Created by J. Michael Straczynski
Babylon 5 is the story of the last of the Babylon stations, the last hope for a galaxy without war. It begins in the year 2257 with the opening of the Babylon 5 station. So begins what is probably the best modern science-fiction TV series - Babylon 5. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, the story is set in a five mile long space station in the years 2258 to 2263 - and beyond.
Unlike most Tv series, Babylon 5 is a single story, with a beginning, middle and end. Each episode is complete and enjoyable on its own, but is also part of a larger whole, a chapter in a five-year-long novel for television. Yet each episode seems to be linked to every other episode, in ways that echo back and forth throughout the entire story.
Babylon 5: Crusade - was an another B5 series, cancelled before end of first season.
8. Heroes
(2006-?)3 seasons yet
Created by Tim Kring
The series begins by telling the stories of apparently ordinary individuals from around the world who mysteriously develop superhuman abilities, and who then seek to use them to prevent the end of the world as foreseen in images produced by a precognitive painter. The series emulates the aesthetic style and storytelling of American comic books, using short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc.
9. Dr. Who
(2005-?) 4 seasons yet
Excellent, funny British sci fi series. Christopher Eccleston's Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner, his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That's why he needs Rose. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination.
Doctor Who 1963 ( 26 Series!)
10. Torchwood
(2006-?) 3 seasons yet
Created by Russell T Davies
British science fiction television programme, created by Russell T Davies. The series is set in Cardiff and follows the Welsh branch of a covert agency called the Torchwood Institute which investigates extraterrestrial incidents on Earth and scavenges alien technology for its own use (its origins are outlined in the Doctor Who episode "Tooth and Claw"). To paraphrase Torchwood Three's commander-in-chief, Captain Jack Harkness, the organisation is separate from the government, outside the police, and beyond the United Nations. Their public perception is as merely a 'special ops' group. The events of the first series take place some time after the Doctor Who series two finale, in which Torchwood's London headquarters was destroyed.
If you like British humor and conspiration theories, Torchwood is the right pick for you.
11. Supernatural

The main characters are Dave Lister, the last known human alive, and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram of Lister's dead bunkmate. The other regular characters are Cat, a lifeform that evolved from Lister's pet cat; Holly, Red Dwarf's computer; and, as of Series III, Kryten, a service mechanoid.
